Detroirs Mysterious Negro.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov 22.-George Harris,
colored under arrest for petty thieving, is &C
cused of more serious crime. Mrs. Markle, the
white woman with whom he has been living
since Aug. 30, declaring that he administered to
her drug, and by this means obtained COM
plete mastery of her will. Mrs. Markle aban-
doned pleasant home and faithful husband
who has since removed to distant part of the
State. The woman bears every evidence of
having been the negrois victim. She becomes
almost frantic when his name is mentioned
in her hearing: her eyes have wild insane look.
She has nervous chills that leave her in weak
condition. Refinement is indicated in her every
movement. She says that Harris WAS employed
by her husband to do some trifiing job, and that
one day while at work, hearing her complain of
headache, he prevailed on her to take a dose of
medicine. a sure cure. since which time she main
tains that she has not been morally responsible
for her acts. Another peculiar feature of the
case is that lady calling at the police station to
identify some stolen property. went into hys-
terics when she discovered Harris behind the
bars, and howled like a maniac declaring that
she would have him out at all hazards.
