The San Antonio Light

Abducted By Her Husband.

A telegram from St. John, New Brunswick, to The Toronto Globe says: A great sensation has been caused here by a case of wife-abduction. About three years ago Miss Lena Robinson, a handsome young lady whose father occupies a prominent position in connection with the Government Savings bank in that city, was secretly married at Amherst, New York, to De Blavier Carritte, a son of Dr. Carritte, of that place, contrary to the wishes of her parents, who had a more eligible partner in view. The couple separated immediately after the ceremony, the lady returning to her parents and Carritte going to New York. When the secret leaked out there was great indignation in the Robinson household, and it was determined that a divorce should be procured. For this purpose, it is said, the young lady resided in one of the Eastern States for some time, but Carritte was determinedly opposed to any such proceeding, and the lady was brought home. Carritte returned to St. John this year and established himself in business. He was not allowed to approach his wife. About 10 o'clock on Saturday night, accompanied by friends, he followed Mr. Robinson and his daughter toward their home, and when in a dark street assaulted Mr. Robinson and seized the young lady, and, putting her in a coach on hand for the purpose, drove off. This morning Carritte and his wife were found in a city hotel, where they had arrived about 2 a.m., after a drive around some country roads. Carritte was arrested on a warrant for assault, information having been laid against him by Mr. Robinson. The young husband acted on legal advice, and it is believed that the young lady was privy to the abduction. The parties move in the best social circles.
