Attending Circumstances
The Chicago Globe OF yesterday
had the following particulars relat-
ING to the sensational meeting on the
streets of Chicago of Mr.. and Mrs.
George +. Robenson, formerly OF this
city:
At the corner of Madison and Dear
born streets sensational domestic
scene was enacted Wednesday after
noon when George Robenson, con-
nected with the construction depart
ment of the Rock Island railroad,
found his wife in the company OF a
man named j. L. Talbot, who is
said to be the son of j. q. Talbot,
president of the Guarantee Invest
ment company. with an Office in the
Adams express building, and also
general manager for the company
and one of the board of directors.
On the circulars which the company
sends out Nevada is given as his resi-
dence.
The story is quite romantic one
in which it is alleged that a faithless
wife. a masher and an irate husband
are the factors. 1t is said that some
time ago Mr.. Robenson. who lives at
Rock Island. H., and owns some
mines in Arizona. sent his wife there
for her health. He had no reason to
believe that she was elsewhere, ac-
eording to the statements OF his at
tornev. Mr.. Clark. and when he had
occasion to come to Chicago yester-
day on some business, he nearly went
wild with rage on finding his wife
walking along Dearborn street at the
corner of Madison. with well
dressed Young man. His anger
knew no bounds and he created such
a disturbance that Officer Donohue
went up to find out what was the
trouble.
Mr.. Robenson asked the officer to
place the faithless woman and her
escort under arrest. The officer not
understanding the case. took all the
parties to the central detail police
station at the foot of Monroe street
When the station was reached the
woman denounced her husband in
the vileSt terms. She called him Il
brute and beast and said: why
should live with you9 You treat
me cruelty and | don't see why |
should love you. l love this man be-
cause he has treated me well. i
don't want anything to do with you.
Leave me alone
Admitted Her Faithlessness.
She admitted to the lieutenant in
charge that she had been false to her
husband because he had not treated
her right. and had been living with
Talbot at the Midland hotel on Mad
ison street for nearly month. Mr..
Robenson was eNasperated with his
wife's conduct. and would listen no
longer to her vile epithets. He went
out and secured warrants for the ar
rest of his wife and Mr.. Talbot and
returned to the station. After his
wife found out that she was to be
subjected to arrest and consequent
disgrace. she weakened and implored
her husband to forgive her. They
had several conferences in the cap
tain's office where hot words and
tears accompanied the arguments be-
tween the wife and husband.
In the meantime Mr.. Talbot pro

ton. of the firm of Burton N Nc
Lauphlin. at No. 179 Dearborn street
and was diligently engaged in prepar-
inc his defense. Mr.. Talbot would
say nothing of the affair and all the
information that could be secured
from his attorney was that MIR. Ial'
bolt had met Mrs. Robenson on the
street and a she had made advances
he had walked along with her.
Mr.. Talbot is nice looking young
man and is supposed to be here IL

west where his fathers headquarters
are. or whether in Chicago Is not
known.
Such Il turbulent scene the central
detail station has not witnessed IL
many Il dav. Attorney Clark had
been employed by Mr.. Robenson and
the lawyers had frequent conferences
irving to reach an amicable settle
ment of the trouble. After another
stormy interview between Mr.. Roben'
son and his wife. she consented tc
return home and be his dutiful wife
whereupon he forgave her and took
her once more into his loving en-
brace.
Kissed and Made Up.
After the conference was over Mr.
Robenson. who still cherished the
utmost wrath toward his wife's
friend, went up to him where he was
seated in the squad room talking to
his attorney. and said: Il am going
to send my wife home, but l want tc
have an understanding with you. Il
