THE HIGBEE.vAUGHAN RICHNESS,
The Mother Of the Plaintiff Tells the Story
OF Her Daughters Wrongs.

NEW YORK, Dec. l4.--Miss Annie
Eyadue Higbee, who claims to be Mrs. j.
Walter Vaughan, resides With her parents
in one of row Of neat wooden cottages In
Mabon street, east Of Flatbush avenue. L.
|. Her mother, well-preserved and
pleasant little woman, received . CORES.
pondent courteousy yesterday, and in re.
lation to the suit for abandonment brought
by her dauaa.r against Mr.. Vaughn, she
said: II wish that you would state most
positively that we are not seeking pecuni.
airy satisfaction In this matter; all we ask Is
justice. Our daughter has been grievously
wronged, and we, her parents, are going
to see her righted so far 1
it is in our power to do so. Either she
is this mans wife, or he 10 answerable for
great outrage committed upon her. 1t
was the desire Of her father and myself to
have this thing settled quietly. We were
gong to this young mans father to state
the facts and endeavor to obtain justice,
but in some way the matter
GOT INTO THE NEWSPAPER,
and tn en- we had no resource but to bring
1t before the courts. 1t has, been unfortunate
for our children that both their father aud
myself have been engaged away from home
for 3 great part Of the time, and therefore
h I'VE not been able to give them As much Of
our care as we should have liked. Our old.
est girl, Annie, has had for some time, 81.
most the entire charge Of the house. Here
in Flatbush we are almost entire
strangers, and the only one OF these
people that l have previously been &C.
quanted with is Mrs. Hambin. 1t was
through her Introduction that Annie first
became acquainted with the Vaughans.
There was TO be an entertainment In the
church, and It seems that no one could be
obtained to take the part In the dialogue
with this Mr.. Snyder, and so Mrs. Ham.

ASKED ANNIE TO DO IT.
She consented, and In this way she became
intimate with this set. Vaughan took q
fancy TO my daughter and was Jealous Of
John Snyder, aud the soclabe at Cases was
the first time he was with her when Snyder
was not present. As she relates 1t to me
she was one Of group Of girls who were
listening to a story that was being related

said: Annie. come with me. l want you
to marry me- Well, she went vito him,
and at first thong ut it a joke, but after the
IN ,rriage had been soemnized he took her

then she says that they went up to Mr.. Case
and then to Mrs. Hamblin, to whom
Annie said: "Allow me to introduce my

said; "Why this isvery sudden and Mr..
