George P. Warner, OF Detroit, is q man who is
regretting the faithlessness Of the human fam
lily, especially his own share Of it. sex is no OBJ
iect. His wife is ono Of the faithless and her
paramour the other, 80 that both varieties Of the
human deceirer are represented Mr. Warneris
from Detroit At present he is in Chicago,
bunting for tho faithless. He would require no
lantern to aid him in his search for such people
generally, for most improper persons who have
discraced themselves elsewhere come to Chi
cago, to undergo whitewashing and fumignting
procesg, Eliza Warner and Hugh Snyder are
doubtless no exceptions to the general rule
The syztem is well tried, but is becoming
monotonous However, he may as we'll have his
story told for him, since be is an injured party,
and most injured parties ike to
get the worlds sympathy, even II it does come
handed to them with a emile OF contempt.
Warner is . laborer, an Industrious, hard-Work-
ing man, the possessor Of the faithleas Agnes
and one child: He mourns the latter, $50 in
gold. and SIS in currency. Ho lived with hia
wife in Detroit. About three weeks ago he took
the man Snyder into the bosom Of bis family
more literally than ho supposed. Snyder had
come from Fort Laramie, Kansas, and, while in
Detroit, worked in planning mill. On Jan. 2s
DR.. Akman came to Warner in the afternoon
and advised him to 60 home, as there was
trouble there. Snyder, be eaid. was villain;
aud had abused his confidence. He had drugged
o7i naoTement. Warner took his advice and
went home but found that portion OF the
house occupied BY him closed up, and
Mrs. Warner and Snyder missing. He
n,nde inquiries, and learned from Mrs. Thorne,
consolatory information: ~ saw that man put
ting medicine into Mrs. Warmers food aud drink.
He drugged everything she ate." Warner made
further inquiries, and learned that his wife and
Snyder left the house at o'clock on that after
across to Windsor. They returned On tho steamer
Union soon afterwards, and took the 5:l5 p. N.
express for Chicago.
This waa nice news for the bereaved husband.
some time to find out all he knew, but he found
I self wis. what % most he feared to BE-" Tue
result OF his inquiries and discoveries
was his determination to follow tue parties with
out further delay, to Chicago. He left On Tues
Day BY the midnight express train. From ". G,
Bains, brakeman on the Michigan Central HAIL
road, he learned that woman came through on
the evening Of Jan. %, whom he described as
follows: "Iarga black eyes, black hair cut mid
i've feet Ave inches in height, spare faced, very
pale, with q white cloud on her head, brown
barred dress, plaid shawl Of six co1ors, brown
gipsy hat" She had with her "a child q
months Old, with 0lacK eyes, DfOWn uAll, sL1za"-
berry mark behind the left ear, dressed in a
black and red checked dress and brown water
proof cloak, red stockings, slippers with band
over tho instep." The man who was With
the woman and child was as feet 1054 inchos,
weight about 1856 pounds, light complexion, blue
eyes, light hair, low forehead, fattened nose
small moustache, dyed blue suit, with .:jockey'
hat, CATERS, brown overcoat with red lining,
cotton-dotted shirt, and squint eyes,"
These amazingly minute descriptions we're
promptly recognized by Warner, who saw every
article OF his wifes clothing and every peculiar,
ity of the trio here photographed with wonderful
dist1nctness. Bains further informed his inter
rogator that the man {snyder) had the money.
They sat in opposite seats. He called her Sarah
Elza,-her maiden name being Eliza Gteaves
Baina states that Snyder left the woman in the
car near Twenty-ninth street.
Nothing further has been heard OF the missing
parties. Poor Warner may hare to go further
before he oyeztakes them.
It appears that Snyder and his lady-lore had
gone through the deserted husbands property
and carried away tho s60 in gold aud 915 in cur
rency above mentioned, to meet the expenses o.
the elopement. He had been drinking freely
for few days previous to the sudden depar
ture, probably out Of Warmers pocket money
There is an obvious moral to this story, which
ne fQrbear to print.
