Eight years ago. it declares, man nam
ed Purrinton, with young and beauti-
ful wife, purchased a house on Erie
Street and mo7ed from Cleveland to oc-
cupy it. He was runner for Boston
House, and was much away. He met
in Toledo, a man named James Jami
son, with whom he had been on terms of
friendshipin Cleveland. He took him to
his house, introduced him to his wife,
and the friend soon became a frequent
visitor, both in the presence and absence
ofthe husband, who never suspected his
wiles. The friend was insiduous but
cautious and gradually usurped the hus-
bands place. Suddenly there was an
abandonment of home by the young wife
and the roue, and flood of misery for
the husband. Purrinton left the CITY,
returned after eight years to look after
his property, saw sign which read
James Jamison & Jones, Collectors,
and was rendered nearly powerless by
the sight. Recovering he went up
stairs, asked for Jamison, whose partner
said he was in the country. Purrinton
stated his business to some extent, and
was told that Jamison committed suicide
in 1872, and Jones handed him papers to
proveit. Said Jamison had lived with the
woman several years, then by false swear
ing had had her incarcerated in a mad |
house in Pennsylvania He roamed |
about a victim of remorse for several
years, then blew his brains out to end |
MS misery. Jones and Purrinton have
gone to hunt up the missing wife. Such
S the story in brief, but it reads SO like
he concoctions of Nasty that we have
but little faith in its truthfulness.
