Unfortunate Alice Delowery Prevented From Taking a Dose of Morphine by Detective Egan.
 Miss Alice Delowsry, the story of whose troubles with James E. Martin has been a topic of conversation for weeks past, was arrested last night, charged with forgery. Last October Miss Delowery was stopping at the residence of Mrs Mary A. Coer, g Walnut street. While there she formed the acquaintance of Mrs Eunice Kent. This lady had bank book on the Waterbury Savings bank showing some S1 POO to her credit. One day in the month of October Miss Delowery, at the request of Mrs Kent, drewup aD order on the bank for S10O. the latter mak- ing her mark. instead of signing her name as she could not write. This order Miss Delowery took to the bank and received the money. Since that time. it Is orders, payable to herself. on various oc- casions, always signing Mrs Rents name and mark. The discovery of the forgeries came like a thunder clap from clear sky and no one was more astonished than the woman whose money had been taken. Although the exact amount obtained can- not be told it is variously estimated at from $500 to s1 900.
 When the discovery was made a writ was issued for Miss Delowy's arrest. Yesterday afternoon in order not to make the arrest too public a note was sent to her in her room in Dougherty's block telling her that she was wanted in place near the center. Detective Egan saw her leave the block and enter kilbride's drug store where she purchased something. She again went to her room. where she was followed by the detective. He stepped inside the room and found the unfortunate girl there with two small pill boxes in her hand. As soon as she saw who her visitor was she emptied one box into her hand and immediately swallowed the pills She was about to take the contents of the other box when the dett ctive knocked it from her hand. He took both boxes and Miss Delowery preceded him to the station house. There | it was found that the empty box was marked quinine and the other in which were some pills. was marked morphine. l Miss Delowery went into hystericaI fits and Dr Axtelle was summoned. He found she had not taken morphine enough to do any injury. She went from one hysterical fit into another until relieved by Dr AK. telle.
 | When she became rational Miss De lowery asked that James F.. Martin be sent for. note was sent to Martin telling him that he was wanted at the station. He went there and was taken to the women prisoners room where he found the woman whose name had been linked SC strongly with his within the past few months. She went down on her knees tC him. groyelled at his feet. and begged him for Gods sake to take her out of the sta ton house. Martin refused to assist heI and immediately left the station. Sympa thetic friends. however, heard of Miss De lowery's plight and immediately came tc hev relief Suitable bonds were furnished and the woman. who presented an appear ance sufficient to soften the most callous heart. was taken away. This morning thu case was not heard and it is probable ths
 it will be settled out of court.
