her until she entered n news-shop, when he
returned to the restaurant and was chidden
for not following her until sho reached her
residence. Tho woman who keeps the news.
shop to-day stated that she well remembered
the visit of girl who had on that occsion
purchased cheap copy OF Zola's Nana,"
which, it will be remembered, was found in
the room at Mrs. Levy's. She described the
girl in such way rs left no doubt of her
identity, and stated that she had several
times previously during the week called
at the store in company with malo compan-
ion with whom she seemed on such affection
ate terms that tho woman supposed that they
were young married couple. 1t will thus
be seen that the girl had abundant oppor-
tunity, If she so desired, to call for assistance
II she was in duress, whilo ON one occasion,
certainly, she was alone and could have gonC
wherever she pleased without any intorlcr-
ence. Two men only wcro arrested by tho
police; ono of these was Jack Hughes, alias
John Smith, alias Hooie. He called at tho
Garrisons residence last evening, and said ho
knew whore tho girl was and would give up
her abuctors if he was given $500. Just be-
fore Hughes called another individual named
Frank Moore, supposed to be one of the four,
gave in the same information without charge
Hughes was taken to one police station, aud
The other man, who gave his name as Frank
Moore, TO another. Nothing is known of
Moore. The police released both men early
to-day, and this gives color to the impression
that the family are unwilling to prosecute
them in the courts. The case isavcry strange
and uncomfortable one.
FROM ANOTHER coRRrepoNDENT.
Sr. LOUIS, Jan. 13.-Thc facts as to the re-
lease of Miss Garrison arc that she came alone
into the police station little after z o'clock
last evening, and while she was giving the
police captain I'm account of her experience
Mr.. D. X. Ferguson, an old friend of the
family, who had been aiding in tho search for
her, arrived and took her in his carriage to
the residence of her uncle, Mr. q. l.. Garri-
son, whore her mother was residing.
Com. c. X. Garrison being asked for inCor.
nation as TO Miss Hcrrclda Garrison, the
young lady Of ST. Louis who was so mystcri-
ously abducted on Saturday last, said ut his
residence, No. 40 Park avenue, last evening,
that Miss Garrison was his grandniccc, being
u daughter of his nephew. Com. Garrison
said, in addition, that he well remembers tho
young lady, who is very pretty and iascinat-
ing. Tho family in New York were first noti-
fled Of the abduction through the World.
They were ovorioycd to learn chat tho young
lady had been found, and immediately tclC-
graphed their congratulations.
A New York physician, who WINS yesterday
asked his opinion OF the story rs il comes
from st. Louis said to u reporter OF the
World: at is quite probable this whole affair
may he tho result of some temporary hallu-
cination on the part of the young lady. 1t
would not be without precedents, but of
course nothing can be predicted of it lntil
the iacts have been patiently and thoroughly
worked out. If | am not misinformed this
same young lady, when in this city year or
two ago, either attempted, or led her friends
to suppose, she had attempted to commit
suicide by throwing herself under train Oh
the Hudson river railway.
