Especial Telegram to the Globe
CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-There were some in
teresting developments yesterday, in the
abduction case in which G. B. Buddington,
the gay student of the Hahenmann Medical
college, is interested. On the evidence al
ready published young Buddington was
taken before Justice Hammer in the NOR
ming, and held to answer in the sum of
$4,000. Soon after he was taken back to
the police station a letter came to the
Hahenmann Medical college, backed in a
crudej girlish hand, which throws more
light on the subject. The envelope was
dressed to Mrs. G.Jackson. In the corner
there was note stating that if she could
not be found Mr.. Buddington would do.
Thus the letter was addressed to the
mother of the missing girl, but
80 directed that it could only reach
Mr.. Buddington under ordinary
G rcumstances. The postmark was St.
Louis. The janitor of the college building
at the armOry opened and read it in the
presenceaof Officer Crews, to whom he
voluntarily surrendered it when he had
finished. As the police had suspected, the
missive was from Annie LOTUS Jackson,
the girl for whom they have been making
s1ch an earnest search for several days.
TIE letter read as if it had been addressed
to her brother, being signed "your affec-
tionate sister, Annie jackson" It stated
that she was now in st. Louis stopping at
M. S21 Chestnut street, and requested him
to come on and meet her there. This set
tied the question which had already existed
as to where she had gone, and
telegram was sent at once to
Chief of Detectives Watkins to apprehend
her. To the great surprise of everybody
connected with the case the hayward miss
who has caused her parents so much
trouble, staggered into her home at No.
II Oakland avenue last night of her own
accord, looking rather sheepish after her
escapade. She said that when she wrote
the letter she did not know what do. She
said that Buddington had taken her to the
Clarence hotel and had kept her there for
several days. She got to st. Louis, &C
cording to her statement, by representing
to the guests that she lived in st. Louis
and wanted to go home, and that she had
no money. Thereupon the guests took up
collection sufficient to defray her travel
ing expenses. It is expected, however, her
travelling expenses we're raised in some
other way. She claims that she presented
herself at the railroad depot, and tried to
get free ticket to st. Louis before she
resorted to the above scheme The follow
ing is copy of the letter sent by her to
Buddington:
ST. LOUIS, Thursday, Dec. 4, 1882
DEAR GEoRGE: arrived in st. Louis
Thursday morning and could not find
mother or father, but heard they had gone
to Montreal, Quebec. would not write to

for it does seem strange. How is with all
the girls? Do you expect to come home

stop in st. Louis and call on Miss Carrie
Miller and Mr.. Gallery. Answer emile
dietly and please make no delay. Ever
