St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1889-03-28

although unable to speak one word of
English, she was teeming with a furi-
GUS garrulity which she poured into the
attentive ear of her twelve-year-o son,
who in turn acted as interpreter. She
swears by all France that her re-
port to the GLOBE is as true as words
can paint it. She commanded her
bright little boy to tell the whole story
of her woe. The youngster told how,
many months back, Guibert called upon
his sister after she got through with her
singing at the concert hall, where she
acted and sang with her little brother
the young man telling the story. Gui-
bert was flute tooter'' in WHIPS Or
chestra, and met Miss Lebrun when
she made her appearance upon the To-
cal stage and while he ''fiuted" to her
warblings. Notwithstanding he had a
wife and three children living on Mar
ket, near Third street, Guibert kept
Miss Lebrun's company pretty
ago, when his attentions were
rather forced. His wife noticing
his conduct sent two policemen, one
night. to~the Lebrun quarters to arrest
GulDert on the charge OF criminal asSo-
Citations with Miss Lebrun. Mrs. Gui-
bert was unsuccessful in, this however.
for the officers found the pair sitting
near the door which is the only en-
trance to Miss Lebrun's home, eating
lunch. The officers informed Mrs.
Guibert that they had no authority to
arrest Guibert, so she engaged Mr..
kueffner as attorney to prosecute
suit for divorce, which, as Mrs. Lebrun
says. will be filed early in April. Just
i've weeks ago, On Monday morning,
Guibert called at Mrs. Lebrun's
rooms o,oIooly
the family before their usual
hour OF rising. Accompanying Mr..
Guibert was police officer minus even
a sign of star, and as Mrs. Lebrun be-
lieyes, and in fact asserts, the Off
Ger was tramp in disguise, who. she
believes, Guibert hired to help carry
out his plan of abducting Miss Lebrun.
The officer. entering, the kitchen told
Mrs. Lebrun that he had warrant for
Miss Lebrun'S arrest, and thereupon
took the young lady in charge, allowing
her no more than necessary time in
which to get up and dress. Neither the
young woman nor her mother could
account fer such a strange action. and
when forced to leave with the officer,
Miss Lebrun cried back to her mother
begging her to appear at the police
station and ascertain the cause of her
arrest. Mrs. Lebrun says from that day
to the present she has not laid her eyes
on her daughter and knows not where
she Is. Mrs, Guibert is a daily visitor
at the Lebrun domicile and tells Mrs.
LebOun that Guibert has not been home
since the day of the disappearance of
Miss Lebrun. Mrs. Gulbert is now
living with her sister, while Guibert is
still footing his flute in WHIPS orches-
TIA, totally ignoring the existence of his
third wife, the present Mrs. Guibert.
GuIbert is reported to be worth $4,000
and enjoying q large income from
teaching music. Mrs. Lebrun accounts
for the proposed precipitation of the di-
yyorce proceedings by stating that Mrs.

Mrs. Guibert will secure her
just portion of Guibert's property.
Miss Lebrun is seventeen years old.and
her mother fears that she cannot re-
cover her custody by any ordinary proc
eSS of law. Mrs. Lebrun was then in
formed that Guibert had exhibited a
letter purporting to have been written
by her, in which she offers to drop the
whole matter with Guibert if he would
pay her (Mrs. Lebrun) $500, with which
she would leave America. This, she
says, is canard, with not one scintilla

claims she never wrote such a latter,
but did write to Guibert, telling him
that she had suffered the loss of her
daughters salary and therefore wanted
him to pay her some nominal sum
in lieu of her girls income,
upon which, together with that of her
son, she is dependent for living.
She further states that Guibert had re-
ported to her that he had paid the man.
agement of the daily papers $500 to
keep this story out of the papers, and
that all she might now do would never
expose him to the contempt of the pub
lie.
Here Mrs. Lebrun set up a slight
wailing, interspersing enough intelligi-
bic words to her son to cause him to as
sure the reporter that his mother in
tended to apply to the municipal court
this morning and breathe in the good
advice of one of the judges on the
whole affair. The above statement be-

Lebrun through the medium of her very
intelligent son, she concurred in and
approved of every syllable.
