Henry Lattin, of Farmingdale, L.I., testified that the deceased, Susannah Lattin, was his daughter; saw her alive last in the middle of the month of April; when she left his home as she intended, as she said, going to his son's place at Glen Cove, L.I.; heard no more of her till the 8th of June when his son informed him that she had been at his house, but had left, and on inquiry no trace could be found of her whereabouts; His son's wife called about the 8th of June and said she had heard that Susannah was in New-York, and that somebody had been paying her board, but that she was in debt for two weeks' lodging and the landlady threatened to turn her out; he also learned she was in a delicate way at the time; could not say by whom she was put in that condition, but supposed it was done by a young man in a Brooklyn shoe store, who was keeping her company; heard nothing more about deceased until the receipt of the letter from young Daun, at No. 6 Amity-place; he (witness) and his wife came to town yesterday morning, and went to No. 6 Amity-place; was told there, after a while, by the servant girl, that his daughter had been delivered of a child a day or so after she came to the house; his daughter had no misunderstanding with him before she left, but was always well treated, and her condition rendered comfortable; when first informed of his daughter's condition his wife sent word that she was welcome to come home, but she declined to do so on account of the state she was in.
