Morrison, A London paper describes the woman and records the case asfollowse-Sarah JohnsYoung-Morrison, has figured in the court before. Her habit was more preseutablethan When she last appeared, but not all that a society belle would desire. Her face betrayed a troubled mind, quite 1:ecoming one so much married. A small jockey cap covered her bead, held in place by a huge hat -pin, and Meek veil. Her jacket was fawn -colored, open in front. exposing a blue silk tie. Her skirt was somewhat threadbare, and her shoes net at all the thing for a wet day.. She was called before the justice bar, and the magistrate read. in deliberate tones: "Sarah Young, you are changed, upon the complaint of George Young, of Brucefield, that you, being aIreany married, and his wife, did unlawfully go through the form of marriage with another person Charles Morrison. • Are you guilty, or not guilty i" "1'm guilty," sobbed the woman." Her maiden name was Sarah Johns, and... in 1882 she was married by Rev. J. S. Armstrong, of the township. of Grey, to Geo. Young, and again neder the same name she had been married to Charles Morrison, at Stratford, on Nov. 30, 1890, by Rev. James Hamm. The magistrate ad- journed the case for a week. FAREWELL. - The following ad- ditional particulars have been given of Farewell's escape,as contained in a despatch : Melh•iarty, Govern- ment plumber, a.; (14-11. LimtP, emu- mercial traveller, both of Toronto, came from the Queen City lest night on the train from which the convict Farewell jumped in his attempt to re- gain his freedom. Both were eye- witnesses of the occurrence, and both state that to all who watched Farewell attentively it was clearly apparent that he was watching for a chance to escape. He first went to the toilet room at one end of the car. A few -minutes later he went to the other. He asked several times of passengers "How for are we from Kingston now?" and at Coboueg, where he was given a lunch, he complained that the manacles that bound hie lees at the knees were hurting him, and induced the guard to remove them. He also removed an extra ovetcoat he waswearing on the ground that he was too warm,. though to the other passengers the temperature Was comfortable. He tried to appear at ease and sang hymns at intervals. Mr. McBriarty is confi- dent that Farewell had accomplices �n the train. Two men got aboard at Toronto and • repeatedly asked the conductor as the journey progressed "How far are we from Kingston? "How long will it be till we readl Kingston? When the train backed to the spot at which Farewell jumped off these men got off, and when the trip to Kingston was recommenced they were not on board. Mr. Mc- Briarty believes they had arranged the pier) with the convict, and after . the train started again, they by 'means of prearranged signals, joined Farewell and assisted him to escape. • The con v.ict ran a terrible risk in jumping off the train, which was going at the rate of forty miles an hour.. He was forced by the efforts of those who .had .seized him to detain him to jump straight from. the car and not in the direction in which the train was going. It was a Kingston man who seized Farewell by his coattail, and had not the mater- ial of which.the garirien t was made been shoddy he would not have got away.. As it was quite a large 'portion of it remained in the hands of the Kinge stonian. The keeper syho plueleilyjumps ed after Farewell was seriously hurt..
