arrived IN the city yesterday III
search of his erring wife and child.
1t will be remembered that the GLOBE
published a few weeks ago an account
OF the circumstances, which caused
sensation in Winnipeg; and the wrathy
husband proposed to institute libel
suit against the GLOBE and Manitoba
Free Press. which copied the article. A
man named Behan, who was then tray
cling under the name of Moore. was ar
rested for completely in the Hoffman
highway robbery. A rather pretty
blonde woman, who, acting upon the
advice OF time-hon ored ballad, had
recently "got her hair cut" who also
wore silk dresses and an expensive fur
cloak, had been seen with Behan. alias
Moore, and was frequent attendant in
court at his trial. 1t was usually be-
lieved that she was his wife, but in

Clerk of the Court Moore, of Winnipeg
Behan, alias Moore, had been arrested
for numbering man In saloon at Win
nipeg, hitting him over the head with
bottle. He was acquitted on the
ground of self-defense, but Mrs. Moore
got mashed Oh him in the court room.
Behan, alias Moore, was not
st. Anthony, and jumped at
liaison with pretty and high
toned woman. He left for st. Paul,
and had scarcely arrived here when he
received telegram from Mrs. Moore,
saying that she was coming down. She
expected to find him at the st. Denis
hotel and drove there in cab. Not
finding him and having only s. III her
pocket, after looking for him in the
depot. she went down to brothel on
Washington street, where Behan. alias
Moore. found her. After living there
for while they were fired out, and re-
sided at 420 Jackson street. Shortly
after Behan. alias Moore, was acquitted
Of the Hoffman robbery the loving
couple disappeared. 1t was learned
that Mrs. Moore paWned herfur sacque,
and, taking her baby with her, went to
Chicago, where she has since been in

end of last week ''-
BEHAN AND HIS PARAAEoUR
arrived from Chicago and took up their
quarters at 1872 East Seventh street.
Chief of Police Clark's eagle eye in
stantly discovered the fact. and he tele-
graphed the woman's husband, who in
stantly packed his grip and came to st.
Paul, determined to secure the child.
At an early hour yesterday morning, in
company with Lieut.. Cook, lie went up
to 1872 East Seventh street. The front
back stairway. After discovering the
room they knocked. Mr.. Behan ap-
peared, attired in almost primitive sim
plicity. Hello, JIM" he said. Moore
said scarcely anything, but, entering the
room, found his wife in bed. He asked
for the child, which was produced, and
seemed delighted to see its father
again.
PUT on your clothes and come with
me-" said MI. Moore to his wife.
1T is of no use. Jim. / will never
live with you again." replied Mrs.
Moore, ''but you can take the child
But Mr.. Moore insisted, and throwing
Behan his clothes, waited till his wife
had dressed and took her down to the
Sherman house to breakfast, register
ing as -. B. Moore and wife, Winni-
peg.''
Mr.. Moore was seen at the hotel in the
afternoon. He is q fne-Iooking man.

eyes as he spoke. The little girl
laughed and, seemed supremacy happy,
anything was wrong. mo" continued
Mr.. Moore, Il cannot take my wife back
to Winnipeg, as l know she has gone
wrong and it does not appear as il she
would reform. l shall leave her in the
East, as there will be more good influ-
ences brought to bear on there than
with me-" Mr.. Moore seemed. very
much cut up over the affair. and w as
disinclined to talk about it. Just about
the time Moore was being interviewed
his wife was out walking on the street
| with Behan, as unconccfDed as posi-
BILE, apparently glad that the child was
off her hands. but happy in the company
of Behan. At the time the GLOBE first
published the account of the elopement
and the Manitoba Free Press copied the
article. Mr.. Moore denied the whole story,
saying his wife was away visiting
friends in OriIlia. Ont, and threatening
to bring action for libel against the
GLOBE and Free Press. Before doing so
it was suggested TO him that it might be
well for him TO ascertain whether his
wife was really in 0riiia. Telegraphic
communication showed him that she
had not been near there. and subse-
ouently he learned that the whole story
was absolutely correct. 1t was pre-
Sumed that he intended TO take his wife
to Orillia-last night.
A lady who has known Mrs. Moore
ever since she has been in the city said
last evening that she frequently eX-
pressed her hatred for her husband,
and was evidently in love with Behan.
Il would never have lived II year with
him had il not been for my mother"
she frequently said. The Moores were

that that is where they went. Mrs.
