The Missing Orange Woman Stfl
 Alfve-Her Husbands Story.

The Missing Orange Woman Still
 Alive-Her Husbands Story.
 The friends of Mrs. Margaret Brehm, wife of Emil Brehm, the missing woman belonging ill Orange, are still very busy in looking up her whereabouts. Grand Jurors Peck, of West Haven, has begun an official investiga- ton of the case. On the day she left home two weeks ago her husband was at work blowing i'm a lot near the house. After his wife asked him for the keys to the bureau as she was going to New Haven. A dispute arose between the couple as to the propriety of the wife's frequent visits to the city. She was bound to have her way and was told that he was not wanted about the place. That was the last her husband saw of her. His brother saw her walking toward New Haven with satehel in her hand when he was going home after delivering milk to his customers. By some this story is doubted as none of the neighbors saw the woman leave the house. MT. Brehm's father is reported to have told old MT. Oberkehr, the lady's fath- CT. wheh asked if he could tell anything about the matter, that if he wanted to know they could find her Grand Juror Peck is inclined to believe that the woman is being kept somewhere in durance.
 On Sunday MT. Brehm, hearing that his wife was in Southington, went up there to ascertain if the report was correct. He did not converse with her, but is satisfied that she is living in the Oriental Hotel there. The story told for him, and which he agrees is true, is to the effect that his wife had an unpleasant custom of going away from home and remaining away at unreasonable hours, often being brought home in carriages by gentlemen who were strangers to the rest of the family. For this conduct he frequently remonstrated with her and they had mum Der of difficulties over these things, which were generally settled by forgiveness on the part of the husband and injunctions that there should be no more similar offences. Mir. Peck did not know what to think of the SouthingtOn story.
