Lucas was arrested this morning on two warrants charging him with the seduction of his wife's sister at Ladner's Landing on the 1st of February last, and with administering a noxious drug to the girl two months later when it was found she was enceinte. The unfortunate girl is under 16 years of age. Her name is Katie Bushby and she resides with her parents in Blaine, but was on a visit to her sister at Ladner's when the alleged offence occurred, Mrs. Lucas at the time being close upon her accouchement. The case will be heard on Monday, bail being refused. Lucas is the of the fairly clever drama "Cleared" and claims aristocratic connections in England. At the preliminary hearing on Monday Lucas pleaded not guilty, but was committed for trial on both charges.
