lives at No. SGT West Twenty-sevef1th
street, it appears that his daughter, ON
Christmas Eve, five years ago, married
a man named Barry, against the wishes
of her parents. ''He was drunkard,
said the father "Ihey were married
secretly, and I never knew of 1t until
the ceremony was performed. One year
after she left my house this little girl
was born, and from that time the rascal
never paid any attention to his family:
Barry occasionally went off on protracted
sprees and lost his position on this ac-
count. He was unable-in fact, think
he did not care to work-to find employ
ment, and my girl was forced to work
from early morn till late at night IN or
der to provide for her baby. She was
ashamed to go home, aud hard work
brought down her constitution, and you
can see for yourself she is to-day a
wreck, physically speaking. 1 gained
knowledge through some friends that
she would visit the Tombs with her
child. and 7 came down to sea her and
once more take my girl under my roof."
s'What has become of Barry ?" he
was asked.
''He is now serving a term in State
prison." replied Mr. Stone. cater he
left his wife he formed the acquaintance
Of a wealthy widow, and in short time
they were married. 1t leaked out that
he had wife and child. The woman
made an investig alton and found the
statement to be true. She caused his
arrest, and charged him with bigamy.
H was found guilty and sent to Sing
Sing for a year and half. "-NeaO 70 K
