soon, and to convince those whom he had
previously deceived about his being an
unmarried man requested the town clerk
TO write to Chicago for a certificate of
his marriage. On Friday night the 10Th
inst, he met at the train from Atlanta
woman with a little boy and took them
over to his boarding place, and introduced
them as his wife and child. The public

inst. the husband of the woman followed
in pursuit of his child, and after going
before an officer and swearing out q
warrant. sent the sheriff and had La
