THE ACCOUNT.
A blacle-eyed wife with hair the
color Of jet, a brown eyed wife with
chesnut hair, and wife blue eyed
and tiaxen- haired, all living in
Chicago, have just commenced pro-
ceedings in the justice courts and
secured the assistance of the States
Attorney to capture one fugitive
husband. Three is not the full
number of his wives, and the publi-
cation of the thrilling marital ro-
nance will bring TO the front GER
tain and divers others who are be-
lieved to dwell in distant States and
foreign lands. When in Chicago,
the man of many wives was known
as Chas. j. Loring. He will be well
remembered by host besides those
most directly interested, for he held
positions of considerable response
bility, and was reputed to be man
of some wealth. Everywhere he
made friends, being intelligent, well
educated, of good appearance and
very suave His mnstache was
dark in color and Away neatly
trimmed, his eyes dark and very
sharp and piercing, his features well
formed aud his movement graceful.
In word he was beauty.
His conversation was marked by
an English accent and his dress was
always essentially British. The
city of his nativity seems to have
been London. When he came to
this country about FIVE years ago he
brought the dark eyed wife with
him, Her name was Esther, and at
that time she looked enough like
him to be his sister. How many
wives lie had had before is not
known, but the mother of another
of the wives says that Esther told
her that when she married him in
England he was divorced man.
He must have gone into the mar
riage business at an extremely early
age, for he is now not more than
thirty years old.
In this .ity Loring went to work
for a firm engaged in putting in
electric light plants. His work
took him out of the city great deal
and consequently give him a splen-
did opportunity to pay court freely
to tender hearts. There were other
advantages for he made a good
salesman and acquired large rofits.
He severed his connection with the
downtown firm to accept position
in Lake View.
The story of Loring's exciting
experiences in that town makes an
interesting chapter of the romance.
The suave Englishman is known to
have wrecked but one home in the
late suburb, but he passed success
fully through adventures that would
have finished man of smaller nerve.
The Lake View Electric Light Com.
papy, concern which will be we'll
remembered by newspaper readers,
canbe blamed for bringing the young
man north of Fullerton avenue.
When the plant was put into the
building back of Diversity Street
School House, and the machinery
was started up in September, 1887,
Loring was put in command as
superintendent. After he had been
with the company short time he
purchased block of stock and be-
came director, thus making his
position as near a permancy as pos
sible. When the final fire-up came
and receiver was appointed to un-
ravel Secretary Vogel's figures, it
was found that all the assests of the
corporation had disappeared. Sew
eral of the stockholders are now
hoping that when Loring gets ready
to explain things he will talk lit
tie about the defunct electric light
company When he accepted the
position of superintendent Loring
moved into the fat over the store
at 1881 North Halstead street. The
grocer at Wrightwood avenue and
Halstead street remembers that the
newcomer was accompanied by a.
"Mrs. Loring," a rather tall, sweet
faced young woman with dark hair
and large brown eyes. This wife
