Nearly everybody in Newport is more or
less acquainted with the Davis scandal
affair. 1t will be remembered that Abel
became jealous of his brother Charles init
macy with his (Abels) wife. Mrs. Davis
acknowledged that she was dead in love
with Charley, in fact that she loved him
much more than she loved her husband.
This, to say the least was
more than an ordinary man could bear; but
Abel, being above the average man, gave
his wife $3.50 and bought her a ticket to
Pittsburg He also furnished his brother
with ticket, and after getting the wife to
sign the deed to his property, procured a
buggy week ago last Tuesday night and
had her conveyed to the Little Miami
Depot, where, according to previous en-
gagement, Charley was to meet her.
Abel returned to his now desolate home
and the next day sold out his furniture; in
fact he gave most of it away, and shortly
afterwards he left for parts unknown.
Various reports were put in circulation as
to his and her whereabouts, but nothing of
definite shape reached here until
last night, when it was learned
the three were together at small town in
Pennsylvania called Ducansville, and that
they had created quite sensation among
the natives. From the report it seems that
Abel accompanied his wife to a magis-
trate's Office, and with revolver in hand he
made her swear, while her hand was placed
on the Bible, which she loved BEST himself
or Charles. She pointed to Charles as her
choice, and there and then the
knot was tied by the magistrate.
Mr.. Abel Davis reached Cincinnati last
evening and stopped over night at the
Burnet House. In conversation with the
gentleman this morning he stated that he
had seen his wife and brother in Pennsyl-
vania; that they were well and appeared
happy; that she was anxious for di-
vorce; and Mr.. Davis says he is just as
anxious for separation, and that before
many days he will ask for adivorce. We will
here state that Mr. Davis never looked bet
ter in his life. He was neatly attired in the
very latest Eastern fashion and did not ap-
pear like man who had gone through the
trouble he has experienced within the past
few days. Abel owns fine residence in
Newport, and the parties are not of the
lowest classes by any means
