A vivid account recalls Oliver Curtis Perry’s daring move into a moving express car on the New York Central. He evaded pursuit, escaped on an engine, and was later captured.

The piece also sketches other sensational cases involving Deacon and a Boston hotel proprietor amid marriages, accusations, and libel actions.

A witty observation notes that when a woman chooses to marry a man there is no escape for him and he must wed another. The quip adds that a sixteen year old with a sharp nose looks down on others and has limited perceived use for her features.
Public figures have long faced misprinted obituaries. Frederic Villiers recalls two times his death was announced, once in Sudan and again at a London club, where friends mistook him for the dead.
