That was the last seen of him. A
few minutes previous he had left his
young wife with whom he YVES united
by q secret marriage ceremony at
Warsaw, Mo-, last June. He said
nothing to her of his intended depart

in bis general manner to indicate that

THE TRUTH WILL OUT.
He, however, with the abundant facul-
ty for making promises. only to be bro
ken, with which those of his ilk are usu-
ally gifted, soon managed to ingratiate
himself into the good graces of the
girl. This was kept up until January
last, when the young woman's condi.

and Hill was smoked from a hole
where he had imagined himselfsecure.
He faced the popular cIamor, and said
he was secretly married to the girl at
Warsaw the June previous, notwith-

same roof with her. After making
this declaration Hill rented Q house,
and he and the Warsaw bride began
life under new regime.

pending between Mrs. Kate Reese and
her husband, Robert Reese. 1t was
during this trial that Mr.. Reese is said
to have pointed to Hill IS a man to
whom his wife was more devoted than
to himself.

When Hill finally left Mrs. Reese's
abode to share house with the wo-

Several weeks ago Mrs. Reese, having
obtained divorce from her husband,
moved with her children to Joplin,
