Ruined and Driven From Home BY
Threats of Her Betrayer.
Orlando Fla, Sept. "a story of wrong
doing comes from Gabrlla, about ten miles
east of this place.
1t seems that young woman had been
living in family near that place for some
time. A young man of the family wrought
her ruin and threatened her life if she ex-
posed him. Finally her condition ap-
preaching a crisis. she was turned out of
doors by the family, and gave birth to
child in the woods. The child died from
neglect. The mother, in fear of the threats
of her betrayer, concealed the body and
finally reached the home of friends who
took her in and cared for her.
The body of the child was subsequently
found, and on being questioned, the moth
er told her story. This substantially is the
. story as 1t has been reported to the au-
thorities, An Investigation is to be made
