This appeal undoubtedly came from the
bottom OF the lady's heart and the marshal
will do all in his power toward relieving
her of ner anxiety, though what she can
want with a man who is so depraved OF all
sense of honor as to desert her In time OF
need, is mystery that cannot be solved.
Deep and sincere, indeed, must be the
love In that woman, who would take unto
herself again The man who had cast her
adritt upon the charity of this cold, cold
world. Occurrences Of this kind are quite
frequent of late, and below are given the
dOings of another wretch In human form
who lett the women he swore TO love and
cherish to shift for herself:
Maggie Gacquet, rather good looking
lady, arrived In the city Monday, and i'm
mediately instituted inquiries about one
Chas. Chrisman, whom she said was her
husband and had deserted her in ST. Louis.
Her home was in Jefferson CITY and
there she had been married, removing
shortly aflerward to st. Louis. Here
they lived comparatively happy
life for some time but grad
ually the man began to tire of the com
panion whom he mad chosen for better or
for worse, and his dissatisfaction finally
eliminated in his leaving her and coming
TO this city. He afIerward returned TO ST.
Louis and was seen by the lady, but sue
ceeded in making his escape before she had
a chance to do anything.
She came here In quest Of him, and
wanted 10 20 further, but being out Of
money and not knowing any one to whom
she could appeal for aid she was compelled
10 remsin In the city. The says she will
remain in the city until Monday, and viii
look for work. Here is a chance for some
Of the kind-hearted ladies Of the city TO do
an act of kindness.
And still another, though on the
other side. Mr.. James Mcdonald arrived
10 the city yesterday morning in quest of
his iruant wife. He was interviewed by a
BAzooITE and the following facts ascer-
tanned:
His wife's maiden name was Minnie
Summers, and she had resided at Pitts
burg, Pa. She was quite handsome and of
very pretty build, her parents were quite
we'll of and she was belle in society. MIR.
Mcdonald had been her fathers con6den-
tial clerk in hardware store, and it was
there he first met the woman who after
wards became his wife. In the same store
was young man named Frank LangdOn,
who was not in the least backward In
showing his love for the young LADY, and
Mcdonald, himself, says that she looked |
upon him with eyes which |
plainly betokened her love for him. FL !
nally Langdon got into some trouble and |
was compelled to leave the city.
After this the coast was clear for Nc |
Donpld. He began paying his attentions
TO Miss Summers. and the father encour-
aged him. Finally they were married and
il seemed as though naught but bliss was
TO be theirs. They remained in PitIsburg
for about four months and then removed
10 Kansas, where Mr.. Mcdonald went into /
the hardware business for himself. For
over a year all went we'll, but the sunshine
which had so short time since reigned su
preme in that home was suddenly turned |
to clouds.
On the Fourth of July
Langdon put in an appearance
at McDonald's home. He was there on
three different occasions afterward when |
Mr.. McDousld returned home. Finally he
forbade him the house and informed his
wife that he did not want to find him there
any more.
At this she became enraged and said she /
would have what company she wished or
she would 60 where she could have it.
Nothing more was said about the matter
and Langdon quit going to the house.
Last Sunday he went down town and was
gone all day, not returning until late at |
night. When he arrived bis wife vas not |
in, but he supposed she was at some of the |.
neighbor's houses, and laid down on the
lounge to wait her coming.
Ten o'clock came and still she did |
not come. He then arose, went
across the street and inquired if his wife
