Mrs. George w. Crane, of this city,
WAS an old friend of her mother, aud

Mrs Crane did so, but in the mean

the Sunday papers. The young woman
came into Mr.. Cranes Office yesterday
morning, and he frankly told her the
great mistake she was making. Miss
Davenport admitted that she had run

made She agreed TO leave him for the
time being until she decides what she
wants to do next. She says Sackett
agreed to marry her, but she has only
his word.
The officers think Sackett has another
wife, and if he had not he would have
married his victim before this for the
