Shocking Details OF the Case.


About year ago, very respectable
young lady of this city went to Bruins
wick to teach school. She belonged to
respectable family, and was once a
teacher in one of the schools OF Cleve-
land, where many of her friends reside.


After remaining in Brunswick for


some time, she become connected with a


school in Strongsville, where she had


other friends and relatives living. In


giving the history of this case, it will


be necessary to omit names, for the rea


son that they have not become public


property, through legal tribunal, and
until they do, if such is the intention
of those most deeply interested, we
shall refrain from publishing them.
And moreover, the statement is some
what crude, having been obtained
shortly before going to press, from a
gentleman who knows something of the
history of the affair, as given by one OF
the parties.


At either Strongsville or Brunswick,
this lady became acquainted with
married man, who, as the acquaintance
progressed, became perfectly infatuated
with her, and in the course of time
criminal intimacy was the result. How
long that was secretly conducted has
not been discovered, but appearances
indicate that almost year, at least,
has elapsed since it began. In the
meantime, unknown to her friends,
and through false representations, to
some of them, she took trip to Wash
ington, New York, Philadelphia, and
other Eastern cities, with her paramour,
doubtless for the purpose of keeping up
their illicit intercourse with greater
secrecy, under circumstances tending to
lend the additional pleasure of travel.
Thus the time intervening between
the commencement of their guilt and
the indications thereof, passed pleas
antly. But trosble will come, sooner or
later, to all who infringe upon the we'll
defined rules of society. 1t came to her.
She, of course, as all others so situated
have done before her, applied to the
man for means to carry her away from
the scenes of her shame. He gave her
one hundred dollars, and promised to
meet her at the depot on Wednesday.
She was there, but he never came near
the place. Determined not 10 submit
calmly to such cruel neglect, she went
to his house in East Cleveland, to beard
the lion in his den. Having reached a
point near the house, between six and
seven O'Clock in the evening, she was
attacked by an unknown man, appar-
emily eighteen years of age, who kicked
and cuffed her in the most brutal man
ner. She cried "Murder~ plead with
fearful eyes, for him to desist, and even
reached the very threshold of her Sc
ducer's mansion, crying for help, but no
one came to her assistance. 1t is stated
that bright fires were burning in the
parlor, and all looked cheerful within.


The cause of this villainous conduct
on the part of the young man is &C
counted for upon the ground that he
was employed to drive the girl away.
Her condition is truly deplorable, as her
body bears the black and blue marks of
the beating. The scratches that were
given in return for her resistance, and
her clothing also indicates that she did
not give up the battle without strong
contest. For some reason he left her,
exhausted, almost broken-hearted, and
where either of them found refuge for
the night, we know not. More facts
will be brought to light ere the rising
of to.morrow's sun, and if they prove TO
be of darker hue than those already
given, where, in the name of all that is
good, will the end of these things be
