ward boy returned to his home in thi
city.
Learning that the woman was In Cleve
land, Mr.. Jones went there for the pur
pose Of learning how she was conducting
herself. Harry could not be convinced
that she was untrue 10 him. he said shl
was leading virtuous life with q sister, {
Mrs. Grierson, who had removed to Cleve
land from this city.
1t Is said that Grierson, the husband o.
this woman, is himself Of at least doubtful
character. He formerly lived In this city.
The house he occupied with his wife and
the girl Jennie Dean. was furnished with
Harry Jones's' money, and We were last
evening given an opportunity TO examine
proofs OF this fact. Harry supported the
woman as his mistress probably two years
before their marriage, which, asshown by
the record transcribed above, took place
only last December. Before this time Harry
had visited the girl at Cleveland, and
maintained the same relations there at
Grierson's, as in this city. E
Upon arriving In Cleveland, Mr.. Jones
put bis case into the hands OF Chief OF
Police Schmidt, who was very accommo-
dating and gentlemanly. His force, how
ever, seemed to be altogether unable to
obtain any information concerning Jen-
nie's doings, or to do anything else but
10 present bills for Mr.. Jones to pay.
After a time he became tired OF this, and
was hesitating what to do, when he hap
pened to meet ia Cleveland, an acquain.
lance, TO whom he told his perplexity.
The friend volunteered to find him de-
tective who would find out all about the
case speedily, and by his aid an arrange
ment was made with third person, who
agreed TO discover II the girl was living q
yirtuous life, or otherwise. Mr.. Jones
never made any proposition which would
have encouraged this man to make case
against her. He said II she was really q
pure and virtuous girl, and common
rumor TO the contrary had wronged her,
he would take her home. and defend her
reputation.
On the 18th OF this month, at three
o'clock in the morning, Mr.. Jones, who
had returned to Wheeling, received dis
patch from Cleveland calling him there at
once. He took Harry and went, and was
met by his friend, who said he had found
indubitable proofs that the girl was guilty
Of olfenses against her marriage vows.
Harry demanded the evidences, and the
two proceed to place Of resort forsport-
ing characters called "0ur House." Here
the young husband was confronted by
his vile and another man in bed, the wo-
man wearing only a very brief under gar
ment. Harry at once flew into rage,
ousted the interloper and struck his wife,
at the the same time denouncing her
angrily.
He Immediately returned to the hotel,
and in answer to q query by his father,
said he was satisfied, and would at once
get divorce. After breakfast, the next
morning, however, Harry disappeared,
and suspecting his whereabouts his father
sought the Grierson residence. and there
found the boy. He asked him, in very
gentle tones, to return with him, saying
that that was not proper place for him.
The Young man responded that he could
not leave Just then, but would join him
shortly. Thinking perhaps Harry desired
TO reclaim soma OF his property, or trans
act some similar business, Mr.. Jones said,
tsAll right; but ifyou are not at the hotelin
fifteen minutes I will have the whole
caboodle here arrested" He says that
the story that he used pistol, or threat
ened to use one, or had one, is entirely
false.
When the boy returned he asked him
II he had had intercourse with his vile,
and he said no. When, however, the
father desired an affidavit to this effect, he
refused TO swear to 1t. He did, though,
make an affidavit, in conjunction with his
fathers friend, who accompanied him on
that occasion, to finding his wife in bed
with another man.
This is the entire truth, SO far as Mr..
Jones is possessed OF 1t. The reputation
OF the girl here, as we have said, Is bad.
She has been imprisoned for prostitution,
and was always, since coming to this city,
oil low character. She lived for time
with another woman, who passed as her
sister, on South Huron street. The isis.
ter aiterward married an actor, and Is
now on the Pacific Coast. Jennie, or
Mary, is said to have come here from
Marshal County, where, 1t Is also alleged,
she now has another husband.
The boy seems strangely infatuated, and
Mr.. Jones has notified him that he will
have nothing further to do with him. To
one who knows anything OF the boys
home surroundings, who has seen the
elegant and comfortable residence OF the
father, the attractive sisters and the man
Iy brother, 1t seems astounding that the
boy should have been so ungrateful and
perverse.
As 10 the ''Mrs. SADIE Hallam," or
"Helm," mentioned in the accounts print
ed in Cleveland, the following letter may
be Of interest. 1t was received by Mr..
Jones through the Bridgeport postottice
a few days ago:
Harry Jones:
viii you meet me some place till 1 can
have talk with you? / don't like to lay
under all the dirt, and was not there to
take my part. know that ! was put clear
under the dirt tss
But, Harry, don't blame me altogether,
for never knew thst girl was your wife
till she told me when we were coming
home in the hack that night. l know Mrs.
Grierson blamed 1t all on me, but she
had no right to, for she knew Jennie was
your wife and l did not. II you will
grant me this favor, please answer and tell
me when and where can see you, and
oblge sADE HALLAM,
63 Alley 10.
The following extract from let
ter from the same woman to
Harry's wife is also OF interest
here. The Bob Baker referred to is the
colored white washer, who was formerly
cook and waiter in several restaurants.
1t will be seen that the words italiclsed
confirm the statement that II the girl had
not been proven guilty Mr.. Jones pro-
posed TO allow his son to bring her
