United Pre31 Dispatch by Special Wires.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 2G.--'Thc h,tc,- Ocean
has the following special from indianapolis:
o. Il. Miller OF Converse, Ind, appealed to
the police last night to assist him in find
ing his daughter. He tells remarkable
story.
Last December the daughter, who is II
years old, was married to w. 4. Lewis.
The young husband secured employment
at Greenfield Ind, where he and his wife
boarded at the Union Hotel.
All went well until Lewis wife, it is
said, developed an attachment for the wife
of the hotel clerk. which BY degrees
became an infatuation. In proportion as
the attachment for the wife OF the hotel
clerk increased her love for her husband
waned.
Recently Lewis returned to Converse and
laid the case before his father-in.law. The
latter went to Greenfield and prevailed
upon his daughter to return with him to
Converse. The father and daughter ar
rived in Indianapolis at 10 O'Clock last
night, on the way from Greenfield to Con-
verse. They went from the train to tho
sherman House While Miller went to
the desk to register Mrs. Lewis went to
the parlor. When Miller reached the par
Tor he found that the woman had lett the
hotel BY a side entrance.
The father after hurried search
placed the matter IN the hands of the
police, who have thus far been unsuccess-
full in finding the runaway. The suppose
ton is that Mrs. Lewis has either deter
mined to return to the wife Of the hotel
clerk at Greenfield, or else had an APP
pontnlent to meet her in this city.

STEVENS AND TILSoN.

Movement for the Relense of the Former
on Bail--A Report That Wilson Has
Retraoted His Confession.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
GEORGETOWN, April 25.--Churles W.
Cullen, Robert 9. White and William IL.
Boyce. counsel for solomon +. Stevens,
the alleged tire-bug, went to Dover yester.
day afternoon TO apply Tor writ Of habGas
corpus to the superior court now in session.
The court being in the midst Of the
Warren murder trial, il was decided not to
hear the argument on the application until
the present case has gone to the jury. 1t
is thought that the state will finish its last
argument Wednesday and then the court
will hear the argument in the case of
Stevens, who is trying to be released from
Jail on bail.
1t has been recently brought to light
that Mr. Stevens is not the owner of The
property, and that deed was to have been
made to him in about two weeks, when Il
minor, the present owner, shall have
attained the age of 81 years. If this be
true, il will only tend to strengthen the
case of the State, for it will come within
the reach of the statute, which says ]:
THAT if any person shall wilfully and
maliciously set on fire, or cause to be set
on fire, the property OF another, he shall
be guilty of arson and felony Ne Mr..
Stevens not yet having deed for the
property, it clearly comes under the above
statute.
The people are Just as determined as
they ever were. and they saw that if
Stevens is released from Jail, they will
forcibly set Wilson at liberty. Il is rumored
on the streets that Wilson says that his
confession was all lie, that solomon Il.
Stevens knew nothing OF the fire, and that
he (Wilsunl made the statement under the
promise that il he would turn states evil
dence that he would go free and the party
who hired him TO do the firing would be
punished.
