phia on the charge Of living with Georgia
Parker, who was married to Silcox about

INFLATED money with ease.
In 1870 he married Miss Clara Groil,
daughter Of John Croft Of this city. In
1874 Silcox received an appointment as
honorary committee commissioner 10 tne
Vienna exposition and went TO Europe,

Lake George. II would seem that Silcox
had become tired Of this easy manner of
living and yearned for new fields To con-
quor, as during his wife's absence at Lake
George last July he caused valuable brio
a-brac 10 be removed from his Brooklyn
residence 10 a storage warehouse. and
rented IA house at ionkers 10 which he
transferred the bulk Of his furniture.
ALI this was preparatory To an Euro
pean trip, which he had prc-arranged
without the knowledge of his wife. He
laid siege TO the heart OF "A young woman
well known in Brooklyn society circles as
Miss Georgia Parker. They went To
Europe on the same vessel.
As they were ascending the gang-plank
Siicox mailed a letter TO his wife, at Lake
George. notifying her that by the time she
received his cpistle he would he ON the

once. after hearing Of her husbands es-
capade. and sought the advice Of an at

set aside the deed aud also for absolute
divorce on the usual grounds.
