CONSTABLE BRISSEL'S FIND.
He Receivers the Child Of Lyons, the
Bigamist.
Found in the Orphan Asylum Here
A Despairing Mother Made
Happy-Lyons' Predicament.

The story of Louis Lyons escapades in
this city and in Stockton and ofhis arrest
for bigamy in the latter city was pub
Eshed in the RECORD UNION last week
Lyons, it viii be remembered, called
upon Justice of the Peace Starr Of this
city several weeks ago, accompanied by a
comely young lady named Stella Della
mont, and asked that they be married for
one year by contract. 1t was preposter-
Gus proposition and the Justice very
properly declined to have anything to do
with the matter. The young lady wept,
and finally Lyons agreed TO be married
in the regulation manner-"for keeps''
The couple then went to Stockton and
nothing more was heard of them until
Lyons was arrested there for attempting
to place his new wife into house of pros
titution. He was held to answer before
the Superior Court on this charge.
Then it developed that Lyons had an
other wife.
She went to Stockton from San Fran
cisco and faced Lyons in prison. Lyons
pretended that he did not know her, but
it was no use. She was not particularly
anxious to prosecute him for bigamy,
saying that all she wanted was her baby
boy, whom the faithless husband had
stolen from her when he left her some
seven months ago. She begged him to
tell her where the child was.
Hes a thousand miles from here"
said Lyons cruelty, 'and I'd rot in Jail
before I'd tell you where he is."
Nothing could induce Lyons to divulge
the whereabouts of the child, and the
poor wife was heartbroken. In her de-
spair she appealed to Stella Delamont, the
unfortunate girl who was married to
Lyons by Justice Starr. This lady stated
that from conversations she had h adwith
Lyons she believed that the child was
secreted somewhere in Sacramento.
Constable Brissel of this city was in
Stockton when this Interview took place,
and Voluntarily rendered his services to
the despairing mother. He declared if
the child was in Sacramento he would
find him.
This was rather a heavy undertaking.
but, it appears, was none too heavy for
this indeiatigable officer. Upon his re-
turn to this city he began searching for
the boy, and on yesterday he found him
in the orphan asylum. The child had
been spirited about from place to place
before being placed in the asylum, and it
took the officer several days to locate
him.
The ladies of the orphan asylum stated
that Lyons had placed the boy there sew
eral months ago, giving the child's name
as Willie Bateman. The child's real
name, however, is Leland Lyons. Con-
stable Brissel telegraphed Immediately to
the mother.
Lyons still languishes in the Stockton
Jail under two felony charges, and it is
quite probable that he will have to put in
a long vacation at one of the peniten-
tiaries.
