. . . has been arrested at Chicago for a most revolting outrage on
his daughter, a girl sixteen or seventeen years of age. Avery deserted his wife and children about
nine years ago at Buffalo, and the daughter only recently hearing of his
whereabouts wrote him a tender letter to which he responded by asking her to
come to Chicago and keep house for him and cheer his loneliness. The dutiful girl joyfully complied, but no
sooner hand she placed herself in the power of her unnatural enemy, than the
outrage was committed.
