PrTTsBuRa, April 11.-Lieut. Ryan, OF the
United States Navy, who has for some time
been stationed in this city as an inspector OF
armor plate, and ]. H. Meade, a well-known
young man, were last night arrested on a
charge of abduction.
The young lady whom they are charged
with having persuaded to leave her home is
Minnie Rose Parsons, who lived with her
parents, in Allegheny, and is only seventeen
years of age.
On the evening of the 91st of last January
she left her home, telling her mother that
she was going to see her uncle who lives in
Pittsburg and that she would return home
before bedtime.
She did not come home that night, but no
particular anxiety was felt by her parents,
who supposed that she had been persuaded
to stay at her uncle's.
But when she did not return the next day
they became anxious. and when they learned
that she had not been at her uncle's house
the night before they became seriously
alarmed.
after considerable time and by the assistance
of Inspector Byrnes, of New York, Minnie
wns traced to Trenton. Here IL is alleged
that she met Ryan, who registered at the
American House as Lieut.. Marshall.
From this point the detectives traced the
couple to New York, where they stopped at
the Windsor Hotel, registering as MIR. and
Mrs. Marshall"
There all traces of the young lady. were
lost. The detectives kept Ryan aud Meade
in view. and followed them back to this city,
where they were arrested.
At the magistrates Office they were con-
fronted by the father and mother Of the girl
who nave been making such persistent efforts
to find their missing daughter.
When accused by the indignant father,
both men at first denied their guilt.
They were both held in default of $1o,O 900
bail.
Ryan afterwards said the girl is now in
New York.
kilograms are flying thick and fast be-
tween Washington and Pittsburg about the
arrest of Ryan.
Lieut.. Eaton, Ryan's superior has suspended
him and says that If the charges are sustained
his dismissal from the service must follow.
Ryan has not yet secured bail.
