SPECIAL Dispatch to The EVENING STAR:
WOODBRIDGE, VA, June 49, 1889.
Lieutenant James Smith, of the Alexandria
police force, arrived here this morning and
arrested John NJ. Houster and Maggie
fancy, OF Shenanville, Pa, on the charge Of
criminal intimacy preferred by the father
of the girl. Mr.. Geo. W. fancy, the father
of the girl, arrived at Alexandria several days
ago in search Of his erring daughter, a young
girl about eighteen years of age, who had fed
with her lover from her home in Pennsylvania.
He had traced them as far as Washington, and
there learned that they had taken cars for
Alexandria. Inquiries in Alexandria failed
to find them, and Mr.. fancy was about
to give up the sad search when Capt Webster,
Lieut.. Smith and ex-Officer Bernard Cline re-
ceived intelligence that the couple had located
at Woodbridge, which is q small station on the
Alexandria and fredericksburg railroad. some
70 miles below Washington. Lieut.. Smith
came here this morning with the father and
made the arrest, and the parties will start
north this afternoon.
WHAT THE MAN LOOKS LIKE.
The prisoner is short thick-set man with
light moustache. He is apparently twenty-five
or twenty-eight years old. His suspicious &C.
tons we're noticed by persons about
Woodbridge station. He always avoided
conversation, particularly when it concerned
himself All he would say was that he was
from PhGnixville, Pa. He claimed to have
money in a Phenixville bank No one about
Woodbridge could ever understand why he
came there or what business he was
engaged in. During his short stay
he paid frequent visits to the railroad station
and was learning how to manipulate the tele-
graphic instruments. During the last day or
two the young girl has shown signs of nervous
ness and seemed to lose her appetite. The pris-
oner has been known at Woodbridge as Mr..
Halves and the young girl was supposed to be
his wife: They occupied the same room, and
seldom left the room at the same time except
when at the dining table.
