ig,
promnent figure around lieusall e
year ago, is in • the toile, in London,
being accused by her husband George.
Young, of marrying Cheeks. 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..
He was left- at Belleville.Cons-table,•
bruudry and Mr. Horton have returned
