WHERE IS MRS. W.D. WASHBURN?
Said to Have
Left Home with Ed COONS.
CLYDE, June 2. W.D. WASHBURN of Fairview,
Wayne county, came to Clyde yesterday in quest of his wife, who, he alleges,
left home May 2d in company with a man named Ed COONS. Mr. WASHBURN's
business of selling perfumes, extracts and essences, takes him from home much
of the time, and it was during his absence that the man COONS, according to
the neighbors, came and stole, not only the wife, but about everything
else portable in the house, hiring a man to cart the goods to Lyons.
Mr. WASHBURN states that he received a letter from his wife, dated May
1st, which expressed the hope that he would soon return home, as she was so
lonesome without him and missed him so. The letter was so pathetic that he
cut his trip short and hastened home. When he arrived the next day after
receiving the letter he found his home deserted, and quite largely denuded.
By the aid of a detective he traced the guilty pair to Clyde, but at this
point last trace of them again.
Mr. WASHBURN is not so anxious to
secure the return of his wife, but does want the property she carried away
with her.
THAT ABANDONED CHILD.
Identification of Mother and Father
Former a Young Girl.
PENN YAN, June 2. The investigation into the
matter of the girl infant which was left on the premises of Mrs. E.G. FOLSOM,
on the Dresden road, on the morning of Wednesday last, have progressed
rapidly for the intervening time, under the direction of Overseer of the
Poor DENNISTON and Constable WADLE, and have resulted in the finding of
its mother and a definite idea also of its father. The mother is
a 17-year-old daughter of Mrs. James COOK, who lives on Sheppard street. Her name is Florence COLEGROVE. The family have resided until lately
in different parts of the country, on different farms. The father is
a young married man living in this village. The girl has made
an affidavit in regard to the matter, and it is more than probably that
the father will be arrested for the crime of rape. No evidence has yet
been taken in regard to who took the child to the place where it
was abandoned, but that will be brought out at an examination into the
case which will shortly be held.
