with her step father, Conner Hughes,
who was taking her to the wharf at
Secretary, from which sheexpected to
take the steamer for Baltimore. Colo
man was madly in love with'he woman
and bitterly opposed 10 her leaving
Dorchester. When about ahalf mile
from Hurlock Hughes and tic woman
came upon Coleman, who was handing
by the roadside holding breeIh load-
ing shotgun. Az they started b pass
