Romance Ended Sadly.

Mr.. Lot Tecumseh Albrook, of St.
Louis, was led to believe through a
matrimonial agency that a widow by
the name of Portwood at Upper Glade,
w. Va, would marry him and that she
was worth 100000 The poor fellow
having no money started good many
weeks ago and walked through, fully
believing that he would be rewarded
for his devotion and faithfulness by
the widows hand when he reached his
destination. When he arrived in
Parkersburg he was completely broke,
and was given nighCs lodging at the
police headquarters. But alas, when
he finally reached the place he found
the girl as poor as himself and what
was even worse than that, she would
not marry him.
The poor fellow, finding that his
hopes had been raised in vain, brooded
over the matter and wanted to have
Mrs. Portwood sued for breach of
promise. Failing to get lawyer to
take his case, he finally concluded to
revenge himself by killing her. When
he had expressed this intention, the
authorities interferred and upon exam
ination found that he was denanged
The Sheriff and Clerk of the Circuit
Court took him back to st. Louis,
where he was found to be man of
good character and hard worker, but
had been led astray by the horrible
matrimonial fraud
