A man named Walters, was arrested at Per-
rysburg, on Sunday the 10th, on the strength of
adispatch from Petersburg, Mich, stating that
manhad murdered his wife in Canada, and was
fleeing from justice, accompanied by his two
small children. The prisoner proved to be
the man, but not the murderer. Walters
claimed that his wife had been false, and upon |
going home one night, he had found her locked
in her room with man who had no right to |
be there; and in attempting to force open the
door his revolver was discharged. His story |
excited considerable interest in his behalf, |
and he was allowed to go free. He subse-
auently returned to Toledo, where he met his
wife, and when she was ready to return to
Sandwich he accompanied her to the cars.
When the train was ready to start she told
him to "come" and he evidently waiting only /
to be coaxed followed her, and they left for |
their home on such mutual promises as are |
generally abundant at such times. Their
children had been sent to Preble County.
