ence and What 1t Reads Like.
The Romance Of Trunk would be a
very appropriate title for the story of the
experiences of Henry Adams, alias Henry
Anderson, and Miss Maggie Duffy, alias
Miss Blanche Anderson, alias Mrs. j. B.
Nye, alias Mrs. Blanche Anderson, alias
Miss Grace Lee, alias Grace Anderson. In
fact, the woman in the case has so many
aliases that she gets them sadly mixed up
and thereby hangs tail.
During the latter part of last July a
fashily dressed young man with a Roman
nose, the face of an Adonis, wearing his
hair pompadour fashion, a blonde who vas
much admired by silly maidens and envied
by the sterner SEX arrived IN Savannah
and stopped at the Marshall house, where
he registered as Henry Adams He seemed
to have plenty of money, but
pers and carriage drives with boon
companions soon brought his finances to a
very low ebb, so low in fact that when his
alleged wife came along about the first
week in September with a trunk full of
aliases on which there were express charges
amounting to $33 80, her dear husband was
unable to furnish the wherewithal to take it
ADAMS wIFE's TRUNK.
It came from Memphis The woman sue
ceeded, however, in getting the trunk
through some very shrewd fineSse with the
promise that she would call the next day,
pay the party who took 1t out of the express
Office and take her trunk 10 the Marshall
house. Instead she sent first one excuse
and then another, all the time trying to get
the trunk, which she had agreed to leave in
the possession of the party until reimbursed
When She found she could not recover her
property she threatened suit, and then an
attachment was levied upon the
property. While this little by
play was going on her husband suddenly
left town between two days. He seemed to
have got d stake. A week later the woman
was gone. She gave out that she was going
to Chicago, but went to Philadelphia, and
is now, or was day or two ago, at 1908
Race street, whore letters coming from her
show that she is undecided whether her
name is Grace Anderson or Grace Lee, as
she has directed her trunk sent G. o. D.
WANTED IN KANSAS CITY.
Having waited a reasonable length of
time, the trunk was sold, and the great fear
now of Grace is that some one will have
seen letters in the trunk which show that
Henry Anderson, alias Henry Adams,
is refugee from Justice, and is
wanted at Kansas City, Mo-, for
larceny. The trunk and content; hav-
ing been sold, the letters were shown the
MORNING NEWS, and they show that while
the woman may have many aliases, she has
been most devoted to her Henry" so much
so that her zeal has been criticised by a
mutual friend, who kept them part, as the
sequel will show. The correspondence does

A CHICAGoAN I'M THE CASE.
In Anderson's fight Will Kelley of Chi
cago seems to have been kept well posted, and
it is through him that blanche learned
that Henry" came to Savannah. Kelley's
letter seems to indicate that Anderson was
led into the commission of the crime, for
under date of July Is. in acknowledging
the letter from Blanche, he says: II will
bet it was that McCloud that just put him
up to it so he could squeeze out of it him

money back, and when and what day did he
get into the troubled"
On the 18th "Will" wrote to Blanche,
addressing the envelope to Mrs. j. B. Nye.
His first letter was addressed to Mrs. II.

second letter ne writes to Mrs. Nye that he

Evidently Blanche began to be impatient
because Will would not tell where Henry

which are worth reproducing. He says:
