A Couple of Bastardy Cases In Two JustiOs
Courts.

A Couple of BastArdy Cases In Two Justice |
Courts.
Yesterday was q field day in two Of |
the Justice Courts, those of Squires Bond |
and Worley, and as the interested par |
ties wished nothing said about their |
cases, of course, the Argus-eyed press ts
silent. When a man seduces a girl,
who Is generally cOnfding and unsus-
peeting, he should meet with the full
measure of the law. The first case was
before Justice Bond In which w. ii.
Petre was charged with being the father
of child Of which Emma Smith of
Marlboro township appeared TO be the
unmarried maternal parent. Petre Is
painter by trade and has relatives In
this city, who would not be gTatifed by
seeing their names in print, but 1t ap-
pears his business of painting brought
him in the course Of time TO Middle
branch, where he painted some houses
and stopped at the hotel, where he met
Emma, who was acting as maid Of-all-
work, and there her ruin was accom-
plished. This was last summer,
and the festive Petre, after having
gone to Congress Lake and filled
himself with complicated beverages re-
turned and when he arrived at the hotel
went to bed, that is to say, he said so,
but upon interview by a reporter, he
said that he had forgotten (O to lock his
room door and the girl came in. This
looked singular. to the scribe and he re-
marked that most hotels furnished locks
and bolts to their doors, but this knight
| of the brush said that in Middlebranch
locks were not used to any alarming ex-
tent, by bOarders. In default of $40O
he was jailed and waived arraignment
until to-day at p. m. r. 8. Shields is
attorney for plaintiff.
BEEBE VS.. YOUNG.
| The second case appeared before JUS
tice ID. WOrley and was charge prefer
red by Mary +. Beebe, who accuses W. ].
Young of being the father of her un-
born child. Mary was a domestic in a
family on North Poplar street, and, If
report is true, was not possessed of a
very bright intellect, in fact, she was
only half witted.
Young, who is side-whiskered Eng
lishman in the employ of the Buckeye
| Works, III the collecting department of
the office, boarded there and accom-
plished her ruin. He was arrested yes
Cerday and gave hail in the sum of 800
| for hearing next Monday at p. IN.
The girl several times requested Young
to provide for her, but he neglected do
ing so, and she had to go to the Infrm-
ary, where she now is and in about a
month will become mother.
WI. YOUNG
is typical Englishman, of blonde COM
pleXiOn, with sandy side whiskers and a
flowing mustache, and was engaged as
clerk in the collection department of c.
Aultman Il Co. for the past four years.
He is a married man and has a wife and
child at PittsbuTg. A reporter inter
viewed him in room 20 in the Ogden
House last night and had a long cOnyer-
satiOn with him. At first the la-de da
felt quite indignant that he should be
interviewed, and placing jaunty smOk-
ing cap on his head and lighting deli
cate little pipe sat down in an easy
chair, stretching out his feet toward the
glowing open fire place, said pedal ex-
tremities being encased in Oscar Wilde
slippers. The room was hung with pic
lures among which was one Of his little
boy, and the dressing case and centre
table were filled with books, which bore
the names of various celebrated authors
After some time the gentleman sub
mitted to the repOrtOrial suction valve,
and after considerable skillful parrying,
the following facts were elected: that
he had boarded at Mr.. Demuth'5 on N.
Poplar street, was clerk at Aultman &
Co. for years, that Mary was servant
girl and that he had got her in fix.
Its deuced hawkward, you know, my
dear boy" he said, land my prospects
are ruined in this city, and.I want you
to be as lenient as you can with Inc in
your report. 1 handed in my resigna-
tiOn yesterday morning and will not go
to the Office any more" He appeared to
feel very bad over the situation, but
there are great many people in this
world who do not feel remOTse for com
mitting sin, until it receives the cleo
trio light Of exposure.
Little do they care of the sufferings
of poor deluded women, whom they have
brought to infamy and shame, often
ending in suicide, and they should be
sternly dealt with, irrespective Of social
position.
