ROMANTIC VILLAINY.
A Father-in-Law Bent Upon Redressing Wrong.

George W. Kaylor, formerly of Brooklyn, N. Y., aged 24, alleged ingrate, confidence operator, robber, burglar, seducer and procurer, is under arrest in Montreal and will be brought to Trenton on requisition. The story of this man's crimes forms a romance of the veriest yellow-covered character, with a text as black as night. Born in Brooklyn, Kaylor was adopted by a distant relative living in the province of Quebec. This relative whose name is Whitfield, is a very honorable gentleman, and is possessed of great wealth owning considerable estates in the West Indies. Kaylor having shown himself to be a scoundrel, Mr. Whitfield cast him forth and the young man then threatened him with death. So great was Mr. Whitfield's fear of him that he recently, in passing through New York, was attended by a private bodyguard.

Kaylor came to Trenton some time ago and married a Miss Allen, the daughter of a prominent lawyer, by whom he has one child. It is alleged that in deserting his young wife he stole $500 from his father-in-law, and certain other crimes he committed so enraged the family that the old lawyer determined to pursue, capture, and punish him at any cost. He sent his law partner, Mr. D. C. Allinson, in pursuit, and so faithful has been Allinson that after a chase of over 2,000 miles he has captured the villain. During this time he has pursued him in many cities and under various names, now as Kaylor, then as Palmer, and again as Marmaduke, Villiers, or Lawrence.

After leaving Trenton, where he abandoned his wife, he fled with the proceeds of his crime to St. John, N. B. There he met a beautiful young lady, the daughter of a respectable physician of Henryville, in the province of Quebec, and induced her to accompany him to Montreal, under the promise of marriage. He kept her three days at the Hotel Richelieu, awaiting a clergyman, and then took her with him from place to place in Canada and across the border in the United States, while he was eluding her pursuers on one side, and Allinson and his detectives on the other. He finally abandoned her, and came on a flying visit to Trenton on Christmas. Thence he was pursued through New England, and his final capture at Montreal.
