IN EXPLANATION
Statements Regarding the Recent So
cial Scandal.

eial Scandal.
F. J Kelly, the man charged with
abducting belle Crosier, fifteen year
old girl, came 20 this office in COM
pany with the girl referred to, yeSteI-
uay, stating that he had been tried
and acquitted of the charge by Judge
LipEincntt, and wished to set him.
self alight with the community at
large. In order to do SO he made the
following statements:
II made Belle Crosier's acquaint-
ance about three months ago down
at the Fountain Rink, since which
time I have shown her no marked
attel ton except as u matter OF cOur-
tesy alone. My relations with the
girl were only those of friendship and
sympathy on account OF her being
abused at home and the treatment OF
her mother toward her. Her mother
frequently gets drunk and abuses
her shamefuIly. ,On one occasion Ill
particular, one of the bOarders at her
mcther's house used very insulting
and abusive language to the girl IN
the presence of her mother without
even being checked. Her mother
also told her to take her clothes and
clear to HI out Of there and go up
to NV (Le!ly's) cabin and live with
me, AS she did not want her around
any more. The girl then came to me
and informed me of these facJs,
and told me she WAS going to
leave home. She also de-
sired to know if the law would pro-
tect her and not force her to return
home. | told her that ii she would
apply to the proper authorities they
would sustain her. She left home
last Wednesday and went to Silas
Kings house and remained there
during the afternoon. Il the even
ing, becoming alarmed lest her
mother won!d find out where she
WAS and make trouble, she left and
wentto Walkerville and remained
all night with Mrs. Gail Wilson. The
mother of the girl swore out war
rant for abduction against me on
Wednesday evening and the trial
was set for this FRIDAY afternoon.
She came to my cabin before Wear
ing out the warrant with man
named Hunter and used terribly ' lie
and abusive language taWard me,
claiming mad taken her daughter
away. then sWOre out warrant
against her tor using obscene and
d >uslve language, and Judge Wilcox,
on account of her daughter, dis
charged her with AL aumonition. On
my trial coming up today | was
honorably acquitted and / ask my
friends, and all who pretend to be
nv friends to give no credence to
the report circulated that L had se-
duced the girl, as it is without par
ticie of truth"

A Physician HorsevvhipPed.

DEs MONIES, April 1.-THE popu-
lace in the vicinity Of Fifth and Wal
nut streets were thrown into con-
dition Of great excitement about six
o'clock this evening by a series of
piercing feminine screams issuing
from the pretty little mouth of Mrs.
Gould, Il " f. Of prominent res
taurateur oi tnis city. She had been
pushed from the sidewalk by DR.. Col
win, but the assault had been pro-
voked by an attack upon the latter
with a wire horsewhlp in the hands
of Mrs. Gould. DR.. Colvin, who is
much ofa gentleman and physician
of excellent repute, has been the FAM
lily physician of the Goulds until
lately, when for some Cause or other,
his services ceased, and since then
there has existed in the mind of Mrs.
Gould an imagination that tn doctor
had not treated her fairly, or that he
had made remarks about her. This
afternoon, armed with the whip
aforesaid, she stood guard, ac-
companied by her husband, in front
of the DOCTORS office, and when the
latter appeared she made the attack.
The doctor was surprised, but rallied
and pushed her from the sidewalk.
Her husband here made his presence
known, and getting behind the doc
tor, held his arms, while his wife
struck the disciple of Esculapius
few weak blows. The assaulted party
finally freed himself from the grasp
of Gould, took the whip from the
hands of the enraged woman, and
flung it into the street. The battle
was over,
