| James Lattin and Ellen Lucas. (Daily Graphic, November 20, 1874.) |
Ellen Lucas of Bridgeport, Connecticut, was to be married on October 3, 1874. The typically happy 18-year-old was somewhat anxious on the evening of October 2, repeatedly looking at the clock as she hastily ate supper. Ellen changed her clothes and left the house at 7:00, telling her mother that she would not be gone long. Mrs. Lucas watched her daughter walk to the corner where she met her fiancé, James E. Lattin. Ellen never came home that night.

It rather sounds like James Lattin was (at best) a cad, but I’d be tempted to go with “b@5tard”. I trust this means the same in US English as it does here in jolly old England 😉
