Decoyed to'an Immoral Resort, and Kept There With a Strange Man. Mrs. J. A. Elliott, of South Ninth street, who disappeared from home morning last, went before the grand jury yesterday and told a remarkable story of being locked in and detained against her will, She started to market to purchase a hogs head, and up to yesterday had not shown up.

Not finding what she wanted was directed to some place on South Tenth street, and thither directed her footsteps, She turned up on South »blin’s brick yard, and claims she was there imprisoned for a cou- ple of days with some raw-boned, iantern-jawed river man. When she first went there, accord- ing to her story, several of the in- matesjcaught her and held her while her hair was shingled., They kept her locked) up with the man until yester- day, when she was released and returned home to ber husband, who keeps a repair shop on Ninth street, near Court.
