now occupies aroUm at the Hoffman House.
Mrs. Dheirry, until last evening, was still
at 1863 Third avenue, in room over res
taurant where her husband discovered her.
Under threat OF instant death Edward q.
Morse, who elOped with Mrs. Dheirry. led
Mr.. Dheirrys and a friend to the house
where he had been living with the woman
and then disappeared.
Dnelrry two years ago secured the serv-
Ices OF Edward G. Morse as a muslc-teaeher
for his wife. The wife became infatu ated
with the musician, but the husband had
no reason 10 doubt her until two weeks
after the elopement.
Through the efforts of Dheirry the must
clan secured many scholars among the
weathiest people Of Seattle, and when his
income had sufficiently increased Morse
sent to San Francisco for his wife and
daughter. Morse's child died about year
ago, and Mr.. Dheirry paid the expenses
OF the little girls Illness and funeral
When Mrs. Dheirry asked her husband
last November for permission to come
East and visit relatives in this
city he readily consented. Without
his knowledge Mrs. Dheirry sold
two cottages in Seattle belonging to
her, on which she realized $4,000. and Mr..
Dheirry gave her $500 more in cash before
she left and gave her tickets over the North
ern Pacific for herself and daughter, Orba,
who Is years old
Accom- panied by Morse and her daughter
she went to San Francisco, where they
stopped at the Palace Hotel as e. G. Morse
ard wife. While there Morse got all of
Mrs Dheirry'S money and spent it lavishly.
On December the guilty pair went to Chi
cago and thence to Washington and Phla-
delphia.
1t was nearly three weeks after Mrs.
Dheirry's departure that her husband sus-
pected the truth. What at first seemed the
coincidence of Morse's disappearance gave
him the first hint that something was
wrong, and when he could secure
no clew to his wife's whereabouts,
by telegraphing or writing, with his warm
friend, John Carson, a lawyer of Seattle.
he set out TO discover the woman. After
long and tedious journey the pursuers
arrived in New York last Sum
day. They first ascertained that
Morse and Mrs. Dheirry had taken
apartments in an East Twenty-frst street
boarding house, where they remained until
January 10. Mr.. Dheirry. accompanied by
Carson, went TO this boarding house last
Wednesday, and it was through the land
lady, kind-hearted French woman, that
the father finally recovered his child the
next day.
The landIady said that during the stay of
the couple at the boarding house Mrs.
Dheirry had been detected. and Oh one oc-
casion had tried to kill herself. They left
the house last Friday. leaving their trunks
as security.
When Mr. Dheirry called she sent word
to Morse TO come aud get the trunks.
He was confronted by the wTonged hus-
band. who demanded and obtained his
child. Then Morse fed, leaving the erring
woman behind to shift for herself.
