LEGAL MATTERS

Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Feb. 12. -- Mahala Saucer vs. Alfred H. Haymond. Complaint for slander. Demand, $10,000. The foregoing is the title of a complaint filed in the County Clerk's office. The plaintiff is the adopted daughter of Marcus Chapman, a well-to-do farmer. Quite recently, in a breech of promise suit for $5,000 against Henry Haymond, the jury awarded her $2,000 damages. The defendant, Alfred H. Haymond, is a wealthy resident of Waldron. Miss Saucer sets forth in her complaint that on the 1st day of May, 1878, a contract of marriage was entered into between herself and Henry Haymond, who is the nephew of the present defendant. She claims that the defendant knew of the existense of this promise, and in order to break it off he circulated malicious reports in regard to her; that the mind of Henry Haymond, to whom she was engaged, was poisoned against her, and he failed to fulfill his agreement.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
SHELBYVILLE, IND., OCT. 9. -- The arrest of Henry Haymond, of Waldron, last night, furnishes a striking example of man's unfaithfulness and woman's weakness, and what the two combined ill sometimes lead to. In November, 1878, Haymond and Miss Mehala Saucer, of the same village, were to be married. The night arrived on which the happy event was to occur, the feast was spread, the guests assembled, the bride arrayed, and apparently all was well. But as the moments flew by no Henry came, and all wondered at his tardiness. Soon it was announced that the young man had run away, and did not intend to fulfill his sacred obligations. The sad intelligence sent woe to the hearts of all present, and created considerable excitement and indignation, especially on the part of the young lady's personal friends.
Time passed on and in about three months Haymond returned to his native heath, where in a short time he was confronted by an affidavit, charging him with seduction and bringing suit against him for $5,000. This occasioned more than a ripple of comment again, but it, like all other things, had its day and then died. The latest phase of the affair culminated last night, in the arrest of Haymond, charged with procuring an abortion on the 14th of October, 1879. He waived an examination and was released to $500 bail. The trial will in all probability come up for hearing during the present term of court. The parties are both of families of good standing, the lady being a foster daughter of Marcut Chapman.

Social Sensation in the Village of Waldron,
Indiana -- The Contemptible
Part Played by Henry Haymond.
----------
Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
SHELBYVILLE, IND., November 15. -- The village of Waldron, eight miles southeast of here, is today enjoying the luxury of a decided social sensation. Last night at six o'clock there was to have been a fashionable wedding at the house of Mr. Marcus Chapman, a wealthy and influential farmer, the bride being Miss Mehala Saucer, his adopted daughter. She was engaged to wed Mr. Henry Haymond, a dashing young gentleman about twenty-five years of age, and also member of a family of wealth and social prominence. This couple had been lovers for two years or more, and the announcement of their approaching nuptials created quite a stir in the tony society of Waldron.
At the appointed hour last night the wedding guests assembled. An elegant supper had been prepared, and the lovely Miss Saucer awaited, in full bridal array, the consummation of her happiness. About eight i'clock a messagner arrived, and, after some mysterious consultation, the dreadful information was whispered around that the bridegroom would not make his appearance, as he had fled to parts unknown. It was a horrible blow to the bride, who is a very pretty and highly-esteemed young lady, a favorite with all her acquaintances, and the darling of her foster parents. She is nearly heart broken over the heartless desertion of her chosen lover, while the Chapmans exress great indignation toward the false Henry Haymond and his parents, the latter being charged with aiding and abetting in his escape. It seems that yound Haymond was willing to fulfill his part of the contract, but that his parents, for some reason or other, were bitterly opposed to his marrying Miss Saucer.
Your correspondent visited Waldron this afternoon, and found considerable excitement existing over the affair. The runaway bridegroom is bitterly condemned, and it would not be healthy for him to return home at present. Owing to the prominence and high social posiiton of all the parties, the unfortunate termination of the anticipated wedding has attracted wide-spread attention.
