ter-ln law, leaving his own wife. He has two
sons, George and Philip. both of whom are
married and reside in New York. George

about twenty-Seyen years of age. 1t would
appear that for this woman the elder Bucher

Teclpr0cated. Last Monday the wife of the
elder Butcher found that her husband had left
the house, taking with him clothing and other
