The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1883-02-17

| fellow into tho street, and as he came
down, stairs from his office lio was faced
by the young weElhn, with 4 cowhide,
aided by three men. The woman tried
to throw pepper in his eyes, the plan of
the thieying quartette being, no donbt,
to rob Elm in The general melee. A crowd
of people were instantly on the spot, and
they were Informed that a villain, who
had attempted to outrage ~ yirtuons girl,
lad been cowhided by her. Then the
crowd said, "Bnlly FIR the girl" and
they all wanted to tnr and feather the
scoundrel. Poor Ingersolf was disgracqd
everywhere; his trade fell off; he vas
obliged to shut mp shop; lie was itasaft.ed
by men and ieered at by wt't',en, who
asked him how he liked Ills cowhdiug.
In the meantime the young lady leSanle
quite Il heroine. Her landlady's son, IL
splendid young fellow, fell in love with
her, and they we're married within a
week. sssssfy thing was lovely with her,
while Ingersoll was sinking into ruin.
But Ingersoll was a fighter, and he gid
not propose to give mp without a struggle.
He set detectives on the track Of Ills de-
enemies with more untiring vengeance
than he. lie stuck to it night and day
for months; he spent the remainder of
his fortune in the fight, but lre won at
last, and finally succeeded in landing his
destroyer i'll States prison. There is no
other such case recorded. For fifteen
years this young woman has been a GRIM
inal of the vilest tyre-the constant as
socate of hlackmuilers and thieves; she
has nsed at various times hundred or
more aliases, and has married over a.
score of husbands, had several children,
all OF whom gre leaa or abandoned, and
she has served several terms in prison,
both in this country and England, and
ruined ahl blackmailed an army of men.
A woman not fair from forty years Of age,
she played herself off for young girl of
twenty, and she has stolen and black
mailed in her time countless thousands
of dollars. Her life for fifteen years ex-
cceds the widest dream of fiction, and
the manner in which Mr.. Ingersoll has
linked the chain of evidence together is
equal to any thing to be found in the
history of Vidocq.
Our legal decisions are bewildering.
