RAN AFTER AN. OFFICER.
San Francisco Bankers Wife Came
All the Way to Brooklyn.

New York. Nov. 19.-The story of u
San Francisco elopemcnt came TO light in
the Butler street police court, Brooklyn,
this morning, when Mrs. Annie Murdoch
was arraigned there on a charge of dis
orderly conduct. She is rather cookbook
ing woman and was very stylishly dressed
and wore diamond earrings said to be
worth 81 800, large diamond ring and
gold watch with diamond settings, and u
fashionable dress.
Her misfortune was due to having drunk
too much wine at dinner last night. The re-
suit of that was that she had a dispute
with Mrs. Mellen, the wife of the pro-
prietor OF Mellen's Hotel. at Fifty -eighthh
street and Third avenue. Brooklyn, where
she was temporarily stopping.
She went out there, She admitted, to be
near an officer of the First Regiment, U. s.
A E, which is now located ut Fort Hamilton.
These soldiers were till recently sta
TONED at San FRANCISCO. While living there
she met the officer, she said. She gave his
name. A the time she was the respected
wife of San Francisco banker named
Murdock.
Her husband learned of her infatuation for
the army officer, SO he left her. When the
soldiers were sent here she came along.
The banker got divorce.
She was very penitent in the police
court this morning and Police Justice Tighe
let her go.
