LEWISTON, Aug. 26.-The sequel of the
elopement of Mamie johnson seems to be
that both the officers and the girls mother
were misled and that she did not marry her
Lechinvar but that he and her girl friend
protected her from the clutches of an angry
parent who wanted to force her to do things
distasteful to her. The facts of the story
are as then related. There is rumor. be-
side. that the girl, Mamie johnson, is heir to
a portion of quite little legacy left her by
an uncle several years ago and that the
course of her mother is actuated by unholy
lust for the money. The mother had threat
ened to take the girl back to Rangeley and
she said she had rather die than go there.
The cruise of the mother after the daughter
led to the elopement, if such it may be called
and the development of the complaint at the
police station. The young man in the case
is named Burbank. The girl has returned
to Lewiston and is living with her room
mate. She has escaped out of it with no i'm
putation of wrong whatever
