edge or consent of her parents, has
an all-absorbing ambition to marry
the young lady he ruined after de-
serting her within "a hours OF the

er the later offense against her young
sister At all events, subpenaes were
issued yesterday for several OF the
leading witnesses in the former case
and among them the principal, Miss
Ethel Millard, who, it is claimed by
