YOUNG WOMAN DESERTED
Resident of Charlottesville Abandons
Woman in Alexandria
Man Arrested

A young woman who gave her name
as Nora Bergett, her aye as IS years
and who said she resided near Kes-
wick, Albemarle county, appeared at
the station house in this city this
morning in bedraggled condition and
told pitiful story of treat.
ment she had received from Ed
Cashen, aged 36 years of Charlottes-
vile. According to the young wom-
ans story, Cashen had induced hei' to
leave her country home with him on
Tuesday, the 18th instant. The couple
came to Alexandria, but soon left
here for Washington. She said they
went to house on Fourteenth street,
where they lived as man and wife until
yesterday when the couple returned to
Alexandria. She was walking with
Cashen near Prince and st. Asaph
streets, when she told her companion
shhe would enter the postoffice to see
if letter had been sent to her. Casher
said he would remain outside. When
Miss Bergett reappeared Cashen had
vanished. She sought him throug-
out the remainder Of the day and part
of the night, but being unable to To-
cate him, she concluded to go to the
station house and invoke the aid OF
the police.
The abandoned woman alleged that
Cashen is married, but he promised
if she would accompany him to Wash
ington to obtain q. divorce and marry
her. Miss Bergett has no money with
which to pay her way to her home.
Sergeant Wilkinson and Officer Bel
got on the trail Of Cashen, and found
him at the Union passenger station
He was conducted to the station house
and upon arriving there ne said ms
correct name was Cassidy. He al
legged that Miss Rergett is q years
old, and that he did not lead her as,
tray. Cassidy also alleges that he die
not desert the young woman. When
she entered the postoffice he went tc
a saloon for the purpose of procuring
a drink. When he returned he couic
not find her.
Chief Goods communicated WICll tii'
Department of Justice in Washington
and an agent will be sent to this city
to investigate the case. The alleged
offense having been committed II
Washington, Cassidy will doubtless bt
turned over to the government au'
thorities.
Since the above was written an ag,
ent of the Department Of Justice came
here from Washington and after III
vestigating the case, alleged that the
department could do nothing with it
The man and woman will be brought
before the Police Court in this city
tomorrow.
Cassidy after having been placed
in custody alleged he was not mar
ried man, and asserted that his Wit;
was dead. Letters, found in his pos
session, however, show that his wife
is living and that she is an inmate O.
Manhattan, N. Y, Asylum. One let
ter is addressed to him by the author
tiles of the institution and another
to his mother-in-law. Both are in
reference to Cassidy's wife.

succeeded in doing so. The bill intro
duced by Mr.. Colgate will give us more

Marion Brown, the beautiful 19-year-
old Yonkers girl, who, grief-stricken
because of a lovers quarrel, was taken
to the City Hospital January 4, has
entirely from her hysteria.
She will in all probability return to
Yonkers in a few days.
When h was taken to the City Hos
pital she was gowned in an evening
dress. She could not tell the physicians
who she was, however. They imagined
she had experienced some shock or
was d~eranged through grief.
The Evening STAR solved the mys-
terry of her identity and brought about
her reunion with her sweetheart, Frank
f. Nee, of GA Livingston avenue, Yon.
kers. She had disappeared after a
quarrel with him in her home, 1876 Elm
street. Yonkers, the Sunday before.
When he appeared at her bedside in
the City Hospital she revived wonder
fully, and since then she has rapidly
regained her health and menta equi-
poise.
A telegram has been sent to Mr.. Nee
by the City Hospital authorities telling
him of the girls recovery.
