this life he has forgotten q wife that re-
quires his help. Her anne is MoIie, and
yesterday, feeling it was her bounden duty,
she had Mrs. DR.. McGraw arrested for living
in a state of fornication with her husband.
1t appears that the couple met at the home
of Samuel Krebs, near Powhattan, about the
first Of last October, wherethey remained for
some time. Mollie Brooks, the deserted wife,
became cognizant of the fun her husband
was having and brought matters to a sudden
end. Mrs. McGraw, when arraigned before
the Mayor, plead mot guilty" but import.
ant witnesses we're present, and Flora was
held in a bond of 500 for her appearance
at Court. No bond was furnished. The
Independent of last night said: George
Brooks, the truant husband in this case, at
one time worked in the Bellaire mill, and is
well known here. He has a wife and three
children, but he deserted her for the life Of

what he calls "a good time" His wife is

foiled. According to Mrs. Brooks. afida-

Graw took up lodging as man aud wife at
Mr.. Kre6bs about the first of October last.
What ended the matter does not appear,
but Mrs. McGraw came home here and
Mrs. Brooks says her husband has gone to
the New Orleans Exposition, but that she
has stood all she can, and means to prose-
| cute Mrs. McGraw to the end for alternating
the affections of her husband and the father
of her children. 1t is not likely, however,
that Mrs. McGraw is at all to blame, for
Brooks is rather a dashing young man. and
if be has gone TO the New Orleans Exposi-
ton il is possible that he will make other
"mashes."
