A STRANGE STORY
Alleged Intimidation of a Young Man
Who Il Forced TO MnrrN.

Who Is Forced to Marry.
There has been considerable talk in West
Point, Va, for some days about very
peculiar case. The indictment on Monday
of Mr.. Walter Ball and his son by the grand
jury of King William county brings the
whole matter before the public. 1t is al.
legged that last Wednesday morning Mr..
Ball and his son came over from their home
in New Kent county, and as soon as they
reached town went to the room of Mr.. B. r.
Barham who is also from New Kent that
the men entered Barhsn's room with
drawn pistols that Barham was still in
bed; that the Balls told Barham that he
must go with them and warned him that
they would shoot him If he offered resis-
tance; that they told him that he should
marry Miss Ball, the daughter OF Mr..
Ball. This IL alleged to have happened
about o'clock. Report says that Barham
offered no resistance and did not romon-
drate with them; that hc accompa-
MED them down to the train, and one
guarded him while the other got tickets (;
that the party LETT on the o'clock train
without any one having any idea that Bar
ham was under arrest; that the party pro-
cecded to Washington, being Joined in
Richmond, some say, by the Young lady.
Upon reaching Washington the couple were
married. II is said that Barham spoke not
word III answer To the questions put hy
the minister, and that he did not speak aftcr
that nc had been forced to marry. Barham
returned to New Kent and reported the
case to his father and then returned to
West Point. Saturday Constable Spencer
went over TO New Kent with warrants for
the Balls. lie succeeded in bringing the
father back. Mr.. Ball appeared before the
magistrates court and was bound over TO
keep the peace for six months in the sum
ofxsW and 10 appear Thursday. Monday
both OF the Balls were indicted. There is
great deal of talk about the case. and il is
hard to gather the truth. II is said that
Barham promised To marry Miss Ball last
spring, and then again in July, and that the
marriage was postponed indefinitely. Miss
Ball finally told her father all that had
happened. Her father and brother started
at once to find Barham. Mr.. Ball and Mr..
barhams father live near each other aud
have long been very intimate friends
Young Bar ham is iavorably known there,
aud is said 10 have been engaged to young
