PORTUGUESE COUPLE WERE HERE
Chief Murphy Investigated but Found Girls Story was
Not True About Their Acknowledged at Hotel and
with Respectable Family.

Reading in The Bulletin of the story
told by Maria Albri, the 19-year- old
Portuguese girl, Of Newmarket, n H.,
to the Providence police of being held
prisoner In a house in Norwich this
week, Chief Murphy at once started an
investigation, resulting in establishing
the fact that the couple were here, but
there were many features of her story
which were exaggerated and others
untrue. Chief Murphy had received
no word from Providence about the
matter, but from the story In the pa
per got his men to work with the re-
suit that he soon had the local end Of
the affair. II the facts had been as
the girl described, some arrests might
have followed.
Policeman Henderson was sent out
on still hunt by the chief, and he Sc
cured much information and himself
had some facts, as he was at the sta
ton at the time, and recalled when
the couple left here for Providence.
The girl was not anxious 20 see a po-
liceman then and apparently had no
complaint to make.
1t was learned that they came here
Monday night and stayed at a local
hotel, registering as hubsand and
wife. The next day they inquired
about Portuguese families and were
referred to the one where they after
wards stayed. This was a very re-
spectacle family and boarders had
never been taken there. but there was
something about the couple which ap-
pealed to them and they were allowed
to stay. During the day brother Of
the man called at the house, also look
ing for work, and, like the others, he
was given something to eat, and 1t was
there the three met. They stayed at
the house that night, the brothers
sleeping together, and the girl occupy
ing another room. Her story Of the
assault was emphatieally denied, as
nothing of the kind took place there
1t was also said that she well knew
the house where she stayed, in con-
tradiction to the tale told in Provi-
dence that she didn't know where 1t
was, or whose house 1t was. They left
the day following for Providence.

Fled from Hoodoo Cat.

Deserted by her crew at the very
moment of sailing for the north. the
fishing schooner Edrie, due to leave at
two o'clock Friday afternoon, still lies
at her moorings and all because Of a
cross-eyed black cat. Friday the crew
was making final arrangements to sail,
when a yell resounded out Of the hold.
A sailor burst through the hatch,
scrambled over the side and made of
before anyone could stop him.
While the others were gazing after
his retreating form a yowl came from
the darkness below and a black cat
appeared upon the deck. One look at
the stub-tailed, green-eyed feline was
enough. Every man Of the crew
picked up his bundle and silently de-
parted, nor can the captain by any
means lure any OF them back on

Chief Murphy was satisfied from
this information that the girls story
was far from the facts
In Providence, the alleged abductor
was sent out of the state, as there was
no law in that state under which he
could be prosecuted. After holding
him at the Wichenden street station
all day. they took him to the railroad
station and had him buy ticket to
Boston and sent him away.
Mrs. Albri was given IN charge of
Mrs. Danahey, probation officer for
women. A despatch from Newmarket,
N. H, confirmed Mrs. Albri's statement
Of abduction. Her husband, Lorenzo
Albri, a mill employee there, on hear
ing that his girl wife had sought po-
lice protection in Providence, declared
It was true, that another man, whose
name as he understood it, was Ares
Tides Deveauz. had compelled his
wife by threats and display Of a revol-
yer to leave her home. Albri says he
wants his wife to come back. and she
is being held for him in Providence.
They have not been in this country
very long and went to Newmarket
from Lowell, Mass, a year ago. The
wife Is Is years old and he Is "a and
small of stature. Last Sunday, ae-
cording to the husband, a swarthy
stranger OF stocky build appeared at
his home and announced he was Mrs.
Albris brother-in-law, and by the law
Of their country her legal guardian.
Mrs. Albri objected that she had no
brother-in-law and that she had never
seen the man before, whereupon Albri
declares the stranger drew a revolver
and threatened to use 1t unless the
woman went away with him. The wo-
man became frightened, according to
her husband, and finally was forced to
consent to the arrangement.
Albri left the house when forced to
do so by the stranger. When he re-
turned, fearfully, he found his wife
missing He had heard nothing fur
Their from her until he was told she
had applied to the Providence police
for protection, and that the man with
her had been taken into custody.
