Editor Rkcojid: In voor paper of this
vening, in referring te tbe disposition marie
l tbe two persons scorned of bigbwuy rob
bery, you do an iojastice to officer llcHugb
ia charging him with allowing them to es.
cape. There was no escape a beat it. Mr.
llcnugb ws inrormed by the gentlemen
who were robbed that they did not intend
to appear against the prisoners, and fur
thermore directed him, in the presence of a
uimeer of our citizens, to let them go. As
be was holding these prisoners, pot by a
warrant or by personal kuawledge of their
guilt, but simply on tbe previously express
ad suspicious of the injured gentlemen, be
bad or course no alternative but to let them
depart, aud be lemaved the band cuffs in
tbe presence of a large crowd and nude the
statement at tbe same llirie ''that as au Hi
ceroe uuu notniag to do Iu the matter but
perform his duty" which ao longer required
r authorised him to cold the prisoners as
there was uo charge against them.

la connection with the above we learn
that tbe priaouers were afterwards re-arrest

while being brought beck broke away from

From tht EUenville Journal.
Allusion has befrire been mtde to a some
what curious lawsuit to come on trial at
the next term of the Circuit Court in this
county.. 'I be principal thereto are women,
the complainant Mrs. Susan Crawford, and
the defendant Mi Christine Russell.
Mrs. Crawford, tbe couiplaimint, is about
45 or 60 years of age, rather inclined to
obesity, .widow with four children. She
is .school teacher In Saugertlei, and ber
sctiena. style of speakiog, and deportment
generally, show ber to be a strong minded
women, Jbrewd, smart, and calculating.
Previous to her husband' death tbe family
were in affluent circumstances, but owing to
some financial trouble during bis last days,
much money wa lost, and to-day the wid
ow, though not really wanting tbe neces
sities of life, is comparatively poor. '
Christina Ruasel, the defendant, is about
70 year of age, surrounded by all tbe com.
forts of a good borne, and has money enough
to keep ber safe from poverty's intrusion.
Both of tbe ladle 'are respected in the hut
circles, and are member of tbe Rev. Mr
Rsrnuin's Methodist Chnrsh, in 3augfrlies
Mrs. Russet' b'iisband,;jererniab Rnssel, b
ban dead nearly three years; In 1836 be
was a Van Buren Presidential Elector fro m
this State. In 1842.be wa sent to Congress
from the Thirteenth District j Democrats
He was renyminated in 184, but defeated.
He posseasad a good physical frame, and
to this day it is said of him that he worked
more hours out of the twenty-tour than any
one in bis district. In June, 18415, bis first
wife died and be became a widower. And
new cemes a curious story.
Tne next month, July, Mrs. Christine
Crawford '(nteatiooed above as Christine
Russell) who was a sister to the husbadn of
Susan Crawford, approached tbe latter'and
conversed with ber upon the ul jnct of se
curing tbe Hon. Jeremiah RuMell as ber
husband. he then being about 70 years of
age, and reputed te be worth $400,000. and
she abent 40 year ef as and worth conaid-
able less. At the ' interview with Susan
Crawford, Christina Raid to ber if she
would bring about a marriage between her
and Jeremiah Russell, and she eh .Mild sur
vive him, she weald give her $2,000, a pi-
ano. and a gold watcb, and educate ber
child. Susan listened attentively t ethe of
fer, and finally accepted it, when a written
contract to that effect was drawn nn and
signed by both" parties, and that contract
is ssld to be still In existence.
Soon alter this Christine met Jeremiah at
Susan's house by previous arrangement,
when an Introduction fallowed. Then visit
after vists wss msde Mrs. Susan Crswfotd
finding light and fuel for the pair Thus
matters progressed happily until October
1847. when the two were united in msrri 'ge
and lived together happily and much re
spected until 1867, when the Hon. Jeremiah
Russell died without making a will. A
short time previous to bis death he seemed
desirous ol drawing up and finishing such a
document, and often consulted Counsellor
Winans, of Sangerties, In relation to it, but
tbe will wss never completed.
After waiting a proper length of time the
widow Russell claimed the portion of ber
deceased husband's property allowed her by
law, claiming also that there waa an ante
nuptial agreement between them in relation
to the disposition of it. Seeing that ther
were prospects of considerable litigation
growing out ol the complication of the af
fair, tbe executor finally compromise'! with
the widow by paying over to her the snug
sum of $35,000. when she "signed off" any
fun ber claim on the properly.
As soon as this settlement was effected,
Mis. Susan Cawford demanded tbe $2,000,
piano, gold watch, and the education of ber
child as tbe contract price agreed upon in
writing for services rendered the widow In
ebtalaing the Hon. Jeremiah Russell for
ber as a husband. She asserted that the
contract ha been fulfilled on ber part to
the letter, and as Mrs. Christina Russel
had survived tbe Hon. Jeremiah Juselt, as
especially referred to in tbe contract, there
was nothing (or the widow Russell to do
but pay over the price. The plaintiff,
through counsel, puts in a general denial,
aud also pleads the Statute of Limitation.
