BLIGHTED AFFECTIONS IN ILLINOIS. Remarkable and Racy Breach of Promise Case—The Fa3: Life of a School Girl and Her Epistolary Communications with a Gay Gambler—The Outfit for a Board- ing School Girl and How She Admitted the Gambler. The correspondent of the Chicago Times at De- catur, Il, supplies the details of a remarkable breach of promise case concluded in that city. whe vorrespondent says :— The plaintid® a prostitute, the defendant a gam- bier. e girl at one Lime one of the leading belles ‘of the city; beautiful, respected, admired, she has fallen te the level of the common street walker, and is now oniy the subject for pity! The man ‘wealthy; one of the most noted and successful ambiers in the country; the best dressed man in he city; can walk the streets and will be spoken to and addressed with as much respect as the man ‘of moral and religious lile! The contents o1 the letters written by her show f state of depravity astounding, That a girl of her talents, her beauty and attractiveness, could ever write such letters seems incredible, and that hafer, with his sagdcity and knowledge of human ature, could ever think of makimg this monster of sin his wife seems equally astounding. Many of the witnesses in the case were the young bloods of the city, the sons of good fathers and pious mothers, members of old and respected lamilies, welcomed in the best society; and yet these same youths were proved to have exnibiled indications of the most depraved Hatures and of the most infamous practices. THB PLAINTIFE in the case, a beautiful brunette of 18, in company with her sister Lou. a girl of 15, were brought to Decatur by their uncle, Dr. Shartel, from Colum- bus, Ohio (where they had been Fopeyeli in the summer of 1870. The parents of the girls were old and respected citizens of Columbus, and at the ceath of Mrs, La Rue and the disappearance of their father they were taken in charge by this old bachelor uncle, Who was quite ill at the time and subsequently died in Denver, Col. The doctor was a surgeon and dentist, lodging near his profes- sional rooms and taking rations at the St. Nicholas Hotel. Fully aware of the attractions of his nieces and the depravity of the young men of Decatur, and being of a cynical turn of mind, oiten saying that a “virtuous woman did not live,” and also wishing to keep an eye on their goings and comings, he fitted up a room adjoining his own for the accommodation of the girls, But the elder girl was entirely T00.SHARP FOR THE CYNICAL UNOLF, and soon found time to fall in love with the St. Nicholas ‘*’bus” runner—one William Downing. ‘The course of true love did not run smooth, the uncle declaring that he would kill Billy; but Billy kept ont of the reach of the doctor’s shooting irons, and in his absence found time to convey to Ida various boxes of cigars, bottles of port wine, and under the mat in the hall missives of love were daily placed. In order that the readers of the 7imes may better understand the character of this girl we will give a few extracts from the LETTERS FROM MISS IDA TO BILLY, which were introduced iu the triai of the case:— Decatur, Ill, Aug. 22, 1871. Faienp Birty—I would like to see you so well this even- ing, as I did not see you last night. Watch, and when |Yoti seo me go out walking follow. | I will go down Water ‘treet.

I will go or ust On September 21 she whiled away the time in writing the following missive :— Buay—Your note I re eived last night. I wish Sunday ‘was to-day, for I want to see youever so bad. I saw ie Bear yesterday. She throwed a kiss. I ‘other seaport. Billy, ‘cigars. Iam dying what that good thin stufing uncle up again. We was t use of me getting B good licking and scolding last Tuesday. Billy, be a ood boy. * * * Your Dba. : Sopher 26 she wrote him a long letter, and the following is an extract from the same :— We had the best-chance last night, for uncle wasn’t here. Ttried my best to get uncle to go and get me some peanuts. * * She swears that one day in September, 1871, she ve seated at the piano in the St. Nicholas Hotel, au 1 wish you would send me some for some. I will tell you Sunday Unele told me. Corman has been THE DEFENDANT, ‘Shafer, came in, introducing himself, and at the same time asked herif she had ever seen a $100 ‘bill. This commenced the acquaintance, and after ‘this they’ were fast triends, On the ees 4 of Sep- ember 11 they were out riding, and on this occa- lon he asked her to be his bride. She thought she as too young, but wanted a week in which to Consider the case. One week later they were out riding again, and wpon this occasion she accepted sis ofer of marriage, and, under this promise, she ‘Was seduced by the defendant, Shafer. The defendant, Frank Shafer, came to Decatur in | 1356 and since that time has made this city his Dicadquarters, radiating to all parts of the conti- ment. While on the witness stand he stated that ‘during tne last 17 years he had traded in real estate a little and played cards a good deal. bout 37 years of age, medium height, cool, col- lected, resolute, determined, a fine judge of human nature, he is well known as one of the most suc- ‘vessful gamblers in the United States. The following is acopy of the first letter passed | ‘between the parties alter their rather unique in- Aroduction :— Decatur, Ill., Sept. 7, 1871. Mr. Snarrer—You will no doubt think’ strange of me for writing to you, as we were not nequainted. Rut T ant to ask @ favor of you. and hope you will grant it Meet me this afternoon at Miller's ice cream saloon, at Bhree o'clock. Please say uothing about this and oblige IDA LA RUE, The case was characterized by an immense pmount of POINT-BLANK SWEARING, pnd, we might add, lying. Both parties swore that their letters jntroduced in the suit were forgeries. Bhe swears that he promised to marry her in Sep- tember, 1871, and that he also promised to marry her while in the parlors of the St. James Hotel tn eee Ti. He swore that he didn’t do any such hing. Indeed taere is hardly a point in the case in which the points of testimony of the parties to the suit do not clash, and are not in direct opposi- ‘tion. Dr. Shartel, in despair, determined to send the irl to St. Mary’s Convent, four milles irom Terie jaute, Ind. Accordingly she writes Dxcarur, Sept. 26, 1872. Mr. Suaren—I start Wednesday for boarding school. Af 1 could get away before that time you bet I would, She went to boarding schoo}, and six weeks after her arrival there she writes the following letter :. 81, Mary's Institute, Dec. 16, 1872.
