Dublin, Texas.
The attention of Mr.. H. G. Dempf,
depot agent of the L. and n. Il. r.,
was called to this, who, after ma
king some inquiries, came to the
conclusion that the said music
teacher answered the description,
and so telegraphed the passenger
agent of Morgan hallway. While
waiting for a reply lie also tele-
graphed Mr.. Creekmore, and re-
ceived n reply from the deputy
sheriff at Dublin, Tex, requesting
that the character suspicioued be
in custody, aud he would
come after him. Accordingly, on
last Monday morning Sheriff j. Il.
of this comfy, arrested the
So-called Miller aud put HIM in the
county Jail. He submitted to the
arrest without any trouble, made
no protest of innocence, aud only
requested that "Mrs. Miller" be al
lowed to go with him, which she
also requested with very slight
emotion or manifestation OF feel
or even surprise. Capt. Clark
advised against such a course, but
agreed to let her 90 in at night,
which she did. On Tuesday morn
ing we took occasion to interview
the prisoner at the Jail aud found
him quite communicative and more
interesting in some respects than
we expected. He confessed the
charge made in the above
from Mr.. CreekmOre, but said that
the girl came with her own consent
aud without any name OF com
pulsion on his part TO play the piano
for him. That he had only seen
his wife once in six months, aud
that his only reaso tor leaving
her was that he didn't love her,
but intended to marry Miss
CreekmOre as soon as he should
get "A divorce, but not before. He
said he was a native of this State,
aud was born aud reared IN Jasper
county, where he o has relatives,
aud that he also has relatives IN
this county by the name Of Perry,

We asked him ii he would
like TO have them come down TO
see him. He said "No, / would
not sec them just now"

at the idea of returning
home than anything else, aud there
