■uKi»« Chaney Recovered—Chadd Fled/j®1Fridaj afternoon the Deputy Sheriff of ry Clinton county put in an appearance at the Court House in this place, with Ann Chaney, the abducted girl, in charge. McCam-)n mack and Chadd both happened to be pres-ent, and it was something like a good,D» sized bomb s hell had suddenly alighted in their midst They fled. McCammack wasa little slow, and was soon in custody again. But 44 Squire ” Chadd left in ahurry, and although pursuit was made bythe Sheriff and deputies as soon as he was missing, he could not be found. We pre-ill I sume he is going yet. McCammack’sis-tswtilththa)hlt;hlt;niofscinlaor bail was increased to $1,000, and he was tto- kept in custody until the next day when te I a brother went on his bond and be was released.►0 Miss Chaney states that she was offered IV a new dress and $200 or $300 in money if she would leave and stay away until after the present session of Court. Henry McCammack and wife came for her in amisa-trc*idiea-bihiaitoofi*4VarelfaPet—ttrhifitieg | bugy to James Newman's, where she lived, and, against Mrs. Newman’s advice, she went with them. They took her to Samuel Chadd’s. From there Henry McCammack and Mrs. Chadd took her, still in the buggy, to Clinton county, to the bouse of a widow Kinsler. After two days 8he was taken to the house of a man named Morrison, who agreed to keep her until after Court for $50 and payment for her board in addition. McCammack left the horse and buggy as security, with the y understanding that they should be given n to her when the money was paid to Morri-- son. Ho then returned home. She stayed at Morrison’s two weeks, and while there r was seen by a young man named William e Hampton, of Putnam county. He reported the fact to her uncle, William Chaney,and was by him sent back after her. Morrison objected to her leaving, alleging that Hampton was an improper character, and she declined. A few days afterwardex-Sheriff Sherrill, of this county, was sent, as a special bailiff, after her, but on arriving in Clinton county found that both Mrs. Kinsler and Morrison bad disappeared, and nothing could be found of Anna.He placed a writ for her in the hands of the Deputy Sheriff of that county, and came home. It seems that on Monday eyening Morrison took the girl to a place he calledSlab town, and kept her at the bouse of a%daguerrean artist, until Sherrill left the county. He then returned home with her, and Friday morning, bright and early before breakfast, the Deputy Sheriff of Clinton county dropped down on him and took possession of the girl. As fast as the cars could do it, she was brought back to Putnam with the result we baye stated.She was taken by her uncle to bis home near Cataract the same evening, and is now there under a bond of $1,000 for her appearance at Court We are told that her appearance is not very prepossessing, but, however that may be, the action of McCammack and Chadd—first in abducting her, and afterwards running themselves when she was brought to face them—fully confirms all that she has stated regarding them. It now remains to be seen whether the law will afford them adequate punish* ment, or whether it will let them off with a fine of only $5, as was done last week in Augusta Briederick’s case. McCammack told Miss Chaney that he had fooled her, and intended to fool another girl before he died. Chadd, at the time of his escape, was under a bond of $100 for disturbing a religious meeting, and was present at Court awaiting his trial. Of course the $100 is forfeited.y aCHEJP B 12R1piitT1 le; tuJoi or an ve a !caipaexvethlt;digwothedietisiwowiJleyit.rigpaidremothesasOnaconflnlt;LoichiRaisaflt;si, i propierailMifOV€maAc.tenFoi»we*ii
