Alleged Abortion in Grand Street—Her Re mains Conveyed to Peughkcepste—Great tx- elemont at that Piece Regarding the Affur —Post Mortem Examination on the Baty— Singvlur Result of the Examination—Flight of the Alleged Seducer—Arrest of the Al- leged Abortioniat—Coroner’s Inquest—Ver~ dt + of the Jury. The mysterious death of @ young lady, which wag no- ‘iced In the Hxxatp of last week, which occurred in an alleged house of {ll-fame on Grand street, has been under- going & rigid examication before the proper anthorities in Poughkeepsie, where the deceased resided and was buried, apd bas resulted in exposing one of the most diabolical ontri,es ever committed of the lke in this city. The unfortunate young girl who bas been the victim of her #e- ducer sud a neted abortionist, is Jemima Beneway, of most Teanectable parents, residing in Poaghkeepsie, Datéhess cu. aty, N. ¥., and highly esteomed by a large circle of friends. ‘The facts attending the case, as disclosed by her reiatiors, are as follows:—Within the past twalve months Miss Beneway bas been the suitor of » young mar named John Olmstesd, also a reaident of Pough- keepris. Up to within the last three months nothing was thougnt among her friends that their acquaintance had been of euch a naturo as to suppose that Olmstead had apy intention of marriage, About three or four months ago U'mated offered himself to Misa Beneway, who ac- cepted bis offer, and it was agreed that they should be married about the Ist of February. During this time Olmstead was a constant viviter of Miss Benoway, and about the above time be proposed that as bis foixs, who resided iy Norwslk, Conn., could not come on to Poughkeepsie, that they go ou there and be married. This was agreed Wo by Mise Beneway’s parenis, and on the 4th of February the couple bit home ia the half-past nine o'clock train for New York, wishing all a good bye, and wkh many wishes of happiness by all her friends and fond and doting parents. She bid alj adieu, and with one whom she had put all future trust in, jeft for her pew acquaintance in Norwalk. On their arri- ‘val in this city they put up at Floreace’s Hotel, and that night remained with a cousin of hers in Brooklyn. Oa her return to the city the next day, it appears abe was taken suddenly ill, and was carried into the office of an allezad abortionist named Milwon W. Gray, No, 486 Broad way. From the evidence produced before thé Coroner, it 18 sbown that here a! things were prepared for her receo- tion, and after a short time she was conveye4 by ber ‘over and Dr. Gray to an alleged howe of prostitution, No, 2\8 Grand street, wbere a most pefarious and bruval abortion was produced, resuitivg in her death one week from the time she catered this den. Ro quiet was the aifir conducted that it was not until two days after her death tbat hor friends were made aware of the fact, and then it was represented that abe bad breathed ber Inst in Norwalk Her remains were conveyed to Poughkeepsie, Wheu her friends became satiefid that ber death was a mystery, and immvaiwty after the burial made inquiries into the facts, whea they were fully convi that sll had not gone right. Tne matter was laid brfore Superintendent Tutimaige, war placed the case in the hands of his syecial aid, 4annal Brevoort, who instituted a most rigid investigation, and ¥» whom ia deserving much credit forthe maaner ia w ion he followed up tbe case, notwithstanding hor own frionda nat es up the idea, through the assurauces of Olmstead and is friends, that all was right Yet, being convinced thut the girl bad been the victim of some outrageous treatment, he beld @ preliminary examination by direction of General Superintendent Talimadge, at his effice, which fully eatiefled them of the importance of the body of the deceased being taken up and & post mortem examination held. Justice Welch was applied to in the cave, who said it must be taken before a Coroner. Mr. Brevoort then applied to Coroner Hills, and laid the matter before him, when it waa decided that be sbould go up to Poughkee: and bold a post mortem. In the meantime the particulars of the case publiahed in the Hxratp bad created intenge excitement in Pougbkeepsie, and Coroner Ed. ?. Taylor, of Poughkeepsie, by request of many citizens, comma- pi ted with Mr. Tallmadge, and desired to know what fac.a there were to warrant him to take stops in having the body taken up. Coroner Hille according'y went up on Wednesday morning, and arrived at bi apne mew about 10 o'clock. He immediately made known his errard to the deceased's brother, Peter Beneway, and they then went to Ovroner Tayloy’s office. He being out they w ry to wait hie return, and Progam serton of burying ground, Mr. : bad the body ‘Up ADd conveyed to the railroad depot, to be taken to the chy on Be 3.35 train from Aibany. Goroner Taylor he ving retarved, and being informed of the movements of Coroner Hilla, he immediately consulted the District At torpey in regard to the removal of the body, and was in- formed that Coroner Hills bad no right to convey away the body; that the inquest shonld be beld in Poughkeepsie. Coroner Taylor accordingly repaired to the railroad aepot and demanded possession of thecorps. Coroner tHils flad- ing be could not remove it, gave it up to Corover Tay lor and Jett im the same train for New York. The body was then conveyed to the residence of her fathers in Academy street, and on Thursday afternoon a post mortem examination was held by Drs James G. Hillis aud Joha R. Cooper, when the suspicions of all fully realized, aa will be seen by the physicians evidence. Olmstead, up to Thureday, was around, and from all appearance seemed to reek an investigation of the matter. As soon as It became known that an abortion bad been protnced, it increased the excitement tenfold, and Coroner Taylor immediately isaued @ warrant for Olmstead’s arrest. For some cause or other he was per- mitted to go at large that night, aod oo the following morning it was discovered that he had fled, having beea last seen about 12 o'clock at night. Ajl his clothing was found gone, and up to the time our reporter heft he bad not been arrested. It was stated by his friends that he had gone to a place called Beekmaa, about 18 miles, but when the officer got there be could not be found. Tho corpee was that evening again buried, and steps wore then taken to hold the inquest. Coroner Taylor took every moans to bring the mater aposdily befure a jury, and used his utmost endeavors to capture Olmstead. Miss Beneway was a very inteligent an’ well educated Zonas, lady, about twenty years of age, dark eyes and lack hair. and mest ladylike in all ber manoers. Hor = are very respectable, and havo resiiea rough. eopsie about iwo years.
