MIS-. oiOcliuScf HUSBAND saw
Her in New York Court Room
and Fell in Love Wi h Her.
Mrs. Sadie R. Sidelinger, who at
tempted suicide on Washington street,
Boston, few days ago, proves to be the
Miss Olive Sutton who created quite
sensation in New York about the end of
last May.
The story of her marriage is substan-
TALLY this:
On June 2 last Olive Sutton appeared
as complainant in the Jefferson Market
police court, New York, against the pro-
prietress of house on RiVington street.
Olive was pretty girl of twenty-six.
Her parents were wealthy and lived in
Canada. She had been educated at the
convent of the Sacred Heart in Montreal.
A few weeks after leaving this institu-
ton she became fascinated by a young
fellow who represented himself as being
a wealthy ranch owner out West. I'm
der promise of marriage he BETRAYED
her. In Boston his money gave out,
and leaving her to her own resources,
he deserted her.
After two years. struggle as a
schoolteacher, Olive came to New York
and hired rooms in house that had
been recommended to her, in Rivington
street. AS soon as she discovered what
sort of house it was the young girl left
it. On the following day she returned
for her trunk and was tiercely attacked
by the landlady. This was Olives story
to the court and to Agent Young, of the
Children's society, in whom she trusted.
MIR. Sidelinger was big-hearted man
and gullible one. His susceptibilities
were moved by what most New York
people considered a ghost story of the
shadiest type. Day and night, always,
everywhere, the fair young martyrs
face haunted him like a vision of judr
ment; he would help the fOrSaken one:
he would be her savior.
AS matter of fact the artless Side
linger forwarded money tc Olive. A
letter accompanied it, in which he
promised that if she came to Boston he
would befriend her and help her find a
suitable situation.
Sidelinger had not long to wait for a
reply. Olive thanked him profusely for
his Kindness, accepted the money las
CRATE to Boston. Her benefactor at once
sent her a ticket via the Fall River line.
This she pawned for $1.5O and came by
rail. Sidelinger met her at the depot,
brought her to his boarding house, and
gave up his own quarters to accommo-
date her.
AS time went on acquaintance ripened
into friendship and friendship into love.
Sidelinger was already engaged. Miss
Sutton knew it. One day she wept cd
piouSly, and when pressed to give a
reason, declared that life without Side
linger for a partner was blank. The
other girl was forthwith Tilted and Side
linger married Olive.
The good mans cOnnubial experience
was by no means a rosy one. The
honeymoon foreShadowed the future.
Olive proved careless, thriftless, high
tempered and Willful. To pOorsSidelin-
ger any place was better than home
when she was there.
Little by little the unhappy husband
learned good deal of his Wife's past
history. She had been the travelling
companion of Snowman. She had
bowed before the Boston public as the
wife of dime museum cowboy. She
had jumped through gilded hoops for
cheap circus companies. She was not
the angelic eX-cOnvent girl Mr.. Sidelin-
ger imagined, but an adventures of the
most questionable character.
"Oilie," as she now called herself.
suddenly became stage-struck. After
lengthy negotiations with the proprie-
tor of the Bijou theater, she was offered,
and of course accepted, an engagement
at Providence. She left Boston, and
this is all her husband knows or wants
to know about her.
