giving his name as Harry Ham, with a half
dozen aliases, was married to n young lady in
Philadelphia. Some two years subsequent tothe
marriage the couple moved to this section of
the State and took up their residence in White
township, Cambria county, the husband being
employed by lumberman in that locality
Some months after they had made White town
ship their home, Mrs. Ham was taken sick and
was sent to Philadelphia for medical treatment.

former refusing TO support a wife who had been

chase and soon succeeded in the re-capuure of
the prisoner, who was taken before Alderman
Durbin, of the Fifth ward, for hearing. At
