A WRONGED WOMAN. DETERMINED TO HAVE JUSTICE.
A good-looking young woman from Australia arrived in Chicago last night, says a despatch of October 11th, after a ten thousand miles journey in pursuit of a married man who had wedded her un \er the pretence tbab he was single. The fellow is now in gaol. He proves to be a noted American criminal, Julius Mailhouse, alias Julius M. House. The Australian girl is Miss Elizabeth Hackett, daughter of a well to-do carriage manufacturer in Melbourne. Not long after serving a term in Joliet prison Mailhouse went to Australia as a drummer for a Chicago meat firm, leaving a handsome wife in this city. His meeting with Mi-33 Hackett, a short but ardent courtship, marriage, a week's honeymoon, then a sudden business call to Sydney, preceded by the drummer borrowing §750 irom his new father in-law, tells the Australian end of the stoiy. Mailhouse was next heard of in San Francisco, in a letter telling Mi?s HacUett to expect him by the next steamer. She didn't wuit, but took the first vessel for the United States, investigating en route his lecord, of which she had somehow an inkling. Madhouse was at home with his first wife last night here when arrested. He had no notice of what was coming until confronted at police headquarters by the woman he suppoped to be at the antipodes. The px-convict's nerve did not desert him. He laughingly attempted to embrace her. She lepelled him .with uplifted chair, and declared that she would remain in Chicago and support herself till he was landed again in the penitentiary at Joliet.
