1--WE had vacant room and though we
had no doubt he was d detective we let him
have it. Mrs. Young was perfectly willing
to board her husbands detectives while
they behaved themselves like gentlemen.
During the first two weeks Richardt acted
like an overgrown boy, playing with the
children and romping all over the place.
Then he suddenly provided himself with
fine wardrobe and developed into an agree
able and gentlemanly fellow as ever was
seen. We grew to like him very much.
Twice day he took long rides about the
country and almost always had some OF the
children with them. The last vestlgcs OF
suspicion had disappeared. Last Saturday
he said suddenly his visit had come to a
close and he would leave Sunday evening,
but would give US all q farewell ride hrst:
And YOU he said to Mrs. Young, shall
have the best dinner you ever saw. Gong
away Sunday he said they would drive to
Hackensack and be back by 6. AT we be-
gan to grow uneasy. AT midnight Pierre
went to his room and at am. Monday, as
we all waited in deep anxiety, there came
series of rings at the door bell. l opened
the door and there stood Mrs. Young pale
as death. Where's Pierre" she said, 1
want Pierre, Pierre Pierre ran down IN
his night clothes and his mother pointed to
a carriage at the door, in which was seated
her husband and a friend. There, Pierre,
she said wildly, is your brother. Look at
him.
"Then she went to her room and all night
we were afraid she would die, she was in
such agony In the morning she told US
what happened. Richardt pretended to
lose the road and drove on and on, finally
stopping at hotel. 1t was the Hamilton
house in Paterson. He insisted on her
going in for supper. They went into the
restaurant and he ordered oysters. The
waiter must have been his tool, for the SER
vice was so wretched they lce+ the table
and went to the parlor, where Richardt
ordered bottle of champagne. They re
fused to serve it in the parlor. My daugh-
ter begged to be taken home, but Richardt
said she should not so a step until the
wine had been drunk, so they must
go to sitting room upstairs.
Mrs. Young was unwilling to create
scene and so went up. He opened the
door and she started back. There was
bed in the room. Richardt explained tha5
it was country hotel and things were not
arranged as in the city. Behind them was
a waiter with the champagne. They en-
tered The wires of the bottle were al
ready cut and the cork came out without a
noise Mrs. Young drank glassful of the
stuff, when Richardt put his feet on the

is the happiest day of my life Mrs.
Young became suddenly i'll, and Richardt
induced her to lie down. Before she
was aware of his intentions he
turned out the gas. At that in
slant Young and his friend entered,
Young exclai1ning exultingly: Now, at
last I've caught you Mrs. Young saw
through the plot. Her strength returned,
and there was a terrible scene. Richardt
disappeared, and she forced her husband to
drive her home to Montclair, though at
first he insisted on holding her prisoner.
Before going he paid Richardt's bill"
Yesterday said Mrs. Bushnell, Mrs.
Young told a lawyer the whole story. He
said it was the best thing that could have
happened in her interest"
Mr. Young was also in Paterson yester-
day with his attorney. He admitted to
reporter that the incident of the Hamilton
house was the result OF u plot to entrap his
wife He said the instrument was named
DAILY Richardt was not to be at the drug
store in Harlem nor at his fathers house
in Jersey City. Our lips are all sealed, "
said the man in charge of Young's office in
William street.
