NEW YORK. May 20.-Lizzie Golden, a
very pretty young married woman, eloped
with boarder from her home at Pacific
and johnson avenues, Jersey City, on
March 80. She and the boarder were az
rested in Albany, and yesterday were pro-
duced at police headquarters. Three years
ago James r. Golden, a prosperous liquor
dealer, met Lizzie Belt. The great beauty,
light brown hair and large, expressive eyes
at once captured the heart of Golden, and
after courtShip of few months they
were married. Golden is well known in
Jersey City. He is about 3S years old and
has been mixed up in politics to a
certain extent for ten years. His wife was
taken to his hotel and very comfortable
home was provided for her. Until the
latter part of January last the home Of the
GOlden's was perfect one. The husband
was completely infatuated with his charm
ing wife and she appeared to reciprocate
his devotion. Almost everything that a
woman could desire in the way of luxuries
her husband provided and in consequence
Mrs. Golden's bright smiling face could be
seen out driving in her phaeton and on
matinee days at the theater. 1t was near
the first of February that man, who said
HE w AS WILLIAM FAHEH,
an employee in Cobb's Laundry. applied for
board at the hotel. Fahey's occupation
was that of shirt ironer. He was accom-
modated with room. Fahey is fine
looking fellow of 25, quick-wltted and
good conversationalist. His work was
finished at 6 O'Clock. The balance of the
time was his. He appeared to take great
fancy to Golden and his wife, and seldom
left the hotel at night. He usually spent
the evening with the pretty hostess in the
sitting-room. So constant was his attend
ance Oh her, and so apparent her gratifi-
cation at it, that the boarders
in the hotel soon made COM
mentS on it. Then whispers reached
the ears of Mr.. Golden. who, although he
did not doubt his wife, determined to keep
his eye on the boarder. His vigilance was
unrewarded. The night of March 80 was
passed by Golden alone. 1t was the first
time since his marriage. The morning of
that day his wife had Informed him she was
going to New York to do some shopping.
She failed to return. The boarder was
also missed from the hotel. All night the
couple were away, and Golden the next
day in alarm reported the facts to the po-
lice. Chief Murray told him to go home
and see if
ANY GOODS WE'RE MISSING.
A short investigation showed that $500
was gone beside gold watch and his best
suit OF clothes. This loss was reported to
the chief, who detailed Detective DOYLE on
the case. Two weeks of active search and
Detective Doyle learned that Mrs. Golden
and Fahey were in Syracuse. He told the
husband this and received the response: Il
don't care for the money, only bring back
my wife to me-" Doyle and Golden went
to Syracuse. They learned that the couple
had been there for few days, and
had left for Montreal. In that city
the clipping couple were traced to
the house of q Mrs. Moodhouse. No. 60,
sided for some time in good style. They
were gone when the diSconsolate husband
and detective arrived. From there they
were traced to Boston, where all clue to
their whereabouts ceased. The detective
continued his search, and learned that they
had gone to Albany. He gave the husband
some instructions as to the course he should
pursue, and returned to jersey City.
| Golden went direct to Albany and hired
apartments in a house opposite the post
Office. Day after day he sat at the win
| dow and
WATCHED FOR HIS MISSING WIFE.
His vigilance was rewarded Monday morn
! ing. With FACILITATING heart he saw her
enter the postoffice. When she returned to
| the street he called bootblack and en-
ployed him to follow her. The urchin
obeyed his instructions faithfully and traced
the runaway wife to the house of Mrs. Tag
CART, No. 43 Madison street. Golden, as
soon as he received this information, tele-
| graphed Chief Murphy and asked that De-
tective Doyle be sent ON at once. When
| the detective and Golden visited Mrs. Tag
CARTS house together they found Fahey and
Mrs. Golden occupying a room on
down, I've run you down. and
1 would have done so il | had gone to San
Francisco, was the greeting Golden gave
his wife. She curled her lip in contempt
and asked: ''Well, what of it?" ''Oh,
Lizzie, Lizzie, why did you leave me so?''
he murmered and the tears coursed down
| his cheeks as she drew away from him
when he approached her. Leave me- I
don't want to see you again. Do your
worst" she said drawing away from Golden
and placing her arm tenderly on the shout
der of Fahey. The detective produced
warrant charging Fahey with grand larceny
and he was
PLACED UNDER ARREST
and his captors took passage for this city on
the New York Central and Mrs. Golden
did the same on the West Shore road.
Yesterday all the parties were produced in
Chief Murphy's office in Jersey City. Mrs.
Golden said to him:
'sThey can't take Billy from me. Tomorrow
will swear before the justice that I took the
money and things. A lawyer said wife
| could not be held for larceny from the
husband 1 will swear that took the goods
and Bill will be free. We will then live to-
ANIMAL
Chief Murphy said that he has received
information that William Fahey is known
| by the aliases Of Billy Melay and Billy
| Smith; that he has a wife and child at
Spuyten Duyvil. and is wanted by the New
York authorities. Fahey was locked up.
