About nine years ago Mr.. James Underhill
OF this city went to Europe with his mother
and together they travelled through most OF
the countries OF tho Continent. They finally
got back to Paris. and Underhill. who was at
that time 70 years Of age. started In to see the
capital.
While in Paris. Underhill made the ac1uaint-
ance OF a widow several years his senior. by
name Nine. Roux whom In 1884 he married in
spite Of the objections made by his mother
and other relatives. Mme Roux had seven
year-old daughter. Elise. by her first husband.
Shortly after his marriage underhills moth
or died. leaving u considerable fortune in trust
for her son. She appointed her brother. Mr..
Mordaunt Bodine OF az Nassau street. Now

stcpdaughter then went to live at koyau. a

and was disinclined to talk about the affair
yesterday. She said. however:
My only reason for coming to New York
was to get back my daughter. don't know
how he persuaded her to run away with him."
She says she could proceed against Under:
hill for abduction. as Elise Is but 10 years Of
age. hut she does not care to resort to such
measures. She hopes her letters will bring
about some understanding between them.
Mr.. Bodine was unable to SEQ any one last
night but member OF the family said
Mrs. Underhills story was correct as
far .as was known. .Underhill arrived
in this city some three weeks ago
and applied to Mr.. iodine. for money:
Elise was with him. and Underhill explained
her presence to Mr.. Bodine BY saying that his
wife had ilI,treated the girl. and she prei:rred
manning in Royau. All concerned have writ
ton to Underhill to urge him to return from
Jack sonville. and it is believed that he and
Elise will soon come back to this city.
