made as an act of friendly accommoda ion.
In one instance the cashier to whom he
made his request had heard about the
swindler and, asking him to wait min

the fellow out OF the office into the corri-

nue.. Brooklyn, asked Policeman BOYLE, of
Jersey City, yesterday to arrest young
couple who had just left an annex ferry
boat and were walking hurriedly a'ong
Exchange Place.
The girl is my daughter Sarah" he
said, and her companion is James
Roser."
Ford told the policeman that Roser had
abducted his daughter. who he sad is only
fifteen. The couple admitted they had
run away from Brooklyn. They had de-
termined to get married and, Ford OBJ
jecting, an elopement was planned. Roser
is twenty-onc years old, and he says he is
perfectly able to take care of a wife. Miss
Ford said she wanted to marry Roser
She denied that he abducted her. and as
there was no charge on which the coup e
could be held they were released.
Finally Ford consented to allow his
daughter TO marry Roser If she would go
TO Brooklyn TO have the ceremony per-
formed. Roser and Miss Ford accepted
the proposition. and father and daughter,
and prospective bridegroom took the first
boat back
The couple were married later In
