SHE MARRIED. A CRAZY MAN.
An English Girls Sudden Rise from
Kitchen TO Parlor.

Kitchen TO Parlor.
From, the New YORK. sun.
Tears filled the big brown ewes of pretty
lS-year-old Sarah AUna Mayltn as she sat
in the parlor of her brother-in Jaws resi-
denceE in Brooklyn last night, and told
how she CHANGED to marry an elderly man
who has Just been identified as an escaped
lunatic from Denver, Col. The Young
woman is plump, fresh-lOoking English
country girl, of graceful form and refined,
! intelligent appearance. She speaks rap
idly and with a faint trace of English ac-
cent, which rather adds to her attractive
| ness.
Miss Maylin landed at Castle Garden
Just one year ago, and at once went to
| the residence OF her brOther-in-law,
! Frederick Kemp, on Atlantic avenue,
! Brooklyn. She decided to go out to SER
vice, and in April last she answered an
/ advertisement IN one of the papers from
| James Hanson Learned, living at No. %
Garfield place. Mr.. Learned's house
! proved to be brown stone and brick
| front, furnished in much taste and with
| evident indifference to cost. Anna, as
she was called by her family. was at once
| accepted as a servant by Mr.. Learned,
who said that he was awldOwer without
| children. The young Englishwoman
was accordingly established in the house
/
! Kemp. She had not been long in the
house before she noticed that MIR.
| Learned's gray eyes had funny habit OF
| swapping when he talked, and "A week had
| not passed ere Anna shrewdly perceived
that her employer was interested in her,
as she mOdestly puts it. As a matter OF
fact, Mr.. Learned fell in love with his
pretty maid, and only her severe sense of
| propriety kept her elderly aumirer from
paying her devoted attentions. Finally
Learned made formal proposal of mar
riage, saying, without any startling de-
| gree of originality, that he loved her and
couldn't live without her. 5.-1
hen he offered TO marry me.n said
pretty Anna, with tTemulOus lips, II told
him tnRtf was too young. But he in
| sisted that [ should consult my sister,
and this | agreed TODD. Mr.. Learned was
very rich, he told us, and | knew that he
had plenty of money to spend. After
some time my sister agreed that should
marry hun, as he seemed to be good and
kind and was able to support me-"
Anna and her elderly employer were
married'two weeks ago by RevdGeorge
V szl tie Water, and as part Of the agree
menb Learned presented his bride with
| what purpOrted TO be tine deed of the house
No. 60 Garfield place. 1t has since been
learned that he paid only 81, 800 on the
house, which as mortgaged for the remain
| ing $500 of the purchase money. 1t was
not many DAYS before Anna regretted her
step, as her husband at first grew indiffer-
ent, and finally began to i'll treat her.
Last Sunday week the aged bridegroom
grew angry with the girl and chased
her around her bedroom, finally
! kicking and beating her. Anna gathered
up few articles of clothing that night
and fled to her sisters residence on Allan
| tic avenue. She told her sad story, eX-
hibited her bruised limbs and was ten
derby cared for. Learned made no effort
TO follow her, although he must have
known where she was. In a few days he
transferred bis affectionate advances to
Bridget Cusick. a rosy checked Irish maid
who had been engaged for the Garfield
place house after Anna was promoted
! from the kitchen 70 the parlor.
Last Sunday night Learned made i'm
| proper proposals to Bridget, who promptly
''cutfed" MIN. This induced Learned 10
assault her. and she fed from the house
| On Tuesday she told her friends what had
occurred, and acting on their advice she
| swOre out a warrant at the Tenth pre-
| cinct station house, charging her en-
plOyer with assault. Detectives Ourran
and Reynolds went to the house Tuesday
night, and, having heard that Learned
was DESPERATE man, they took along two
good pistols apiece. They found their
man lying on the big damask-cOvered sofa
in the paFlor and arrested him.
When learned was arraIgned yester-
day, Lawyer Thomas Malloy appeared
and made some startling revelations. He
had been engaged by Mrs. Learned nee
| Maylin, to prosecute a suit for divorce,
| and In investigating Learned's career he
had written and telegraphed 30 Denver.
! lie received replies which told hIm that
| Annals husband was lunatic who had
| escaped from an asylum there, and had
| succeeded in convincing some people that
| ne was restored TO reason. Then he had
! slipped away East to Brooklyn, when he
| had written TO a Denver lawyer, who had
| been acting az administrator for his prop
erty under orders Of the Denver court.
! Learned had lett wife, daughter OF a
prominent citizen, and several children
| behind. He was worth about $I50,000
| which he made in mining speculations,
| and this property is in the hands OF the
administrator, who has allowed Learned
| $3.50 per month since his residence In
! Brooklyn.
When these facts were made known to
| Justice Walsh he postponed the hearing
| until next Monday 20 await the coming of
| Mrs. Learned No. /, for whom LAWYER
Malloy has telegraphed. Learned simply
pleaded not guilty and was remanded.
| lie is nervOus-loOking man Of decidedly
wild appearance, and when IN court yes
Jerday was attired in shabby suit Of
black. Mrs. Learned No. will press her
suit Tor divorce.
