A Wealthy Man Deserts a Hand
some Wife and Runs Away
With a Pale Faced
School Marin.

D., says. Probably what is the
strangest elOpement on record is the
talk aud excitement of this section OF
southern New Jersey. Theodore F.
Sperry is one of the wealfhiest and
mos: prominent citizens of Harris
Station. and largely interested in the
lumber business. His residence is the
most stylish one in that neighborhood,
and Mrs. Sperry is more than an or.
binary handsome lady, % years old.
Mr.. Sperry is 80 wears of age. and the
father of a bright boy of 4 years.
About six months ago a vacancy
took place in the village school, and
among the applicants for The position
was frail. slim girl OF 10. with a
pretty, white. child-like face. through
Mr.. Sperry's influence the Girl, who
gave her name as Ella Mrllicent DE
Haven, secured the position. At frs,
the new schoO'-teacher was boarded
alb ut" free, as is tn, custom in country
villages. when Mrs. Sperrv becsm
much interested in the little schoul-
mistress. and asked her to be a COM
panion to her and except permanent
home, which she did. The school,
teacher had not been long an inmate
1T the Sperry mansion when the neigh
bOrs noticed that on her way home
:om school Miss De Haven inevitably
spent all hour or 50 in Mr.. Sperry's
business Office, and the gossips began
to talk. But the talk rever reached
Mrs. Sperr,'s ears.
On Friday last Miss De Haven lef,
the Sperry cottage, saying she was 60
ing to spend Sunday at Brindletown
and would return in time to reopen
the school session on Monday morning.
Mr.. SpeTry left home on Saturday. os-
tens:bly for Atlantic City or PhiIadel-
phia, informing his wife that he would
return on Monday morning. This
was the last seen Of Mr.. Sperrv and
Miss De Haven at Harris Station.
The schoolmistress not returning on
M,nday, coupled with the non-return
of Mr.. Sperry. aroused suspicion. 1t
was then learned that Mr.. Sperrv,
accompanied by woman answering
the description of Miss De Haven. had
driven through Davisville and Brind-
letOwn on Saturday, and had stopped
over night a. Z town further Oh.
Investigation showed that before
his flight Mr.. Sperrv had taken all
the vaIuables on; of us safe. but,
strange to say. did not draw on his
bank account. Another strange par,
of the affair is that few days before
his disappearance he voluntarily
decided his residence and business
property over to his wife, explaining
to her at the time that all business
enterprises were precarious and he
wan:ed tn see her safely provided or.
Mrs Sperry is much shocked over the
conduct of her husband but says that
the truant can never enter her home
again. The business of Mr. Sperry is
said to be in excellent condition. 1t
is not known where Miss De Haven
came from or anything about her an
tecedents, but she is in 10 way related
to the De Ravens residing in this Vi
cinity. The couple are supposed to
be in New York or Philadelphia. The
friends of Mrs. Sperry say that no eff
forts will be made to hnnt up Ter
husband. Should he return Mr..
Sperry will find the community a very
warm one.
