p New YORK, Jan. 9Th elopement
of the wife of prominent official of
the state of Washington with her music
teacher, who had deserted his wife;
the flight of the guilty couple across
the continent with the erring woman's
daughter; the pursuit of the husband
and his capture of the child, following
close upon the attempt of the mother to
destroy herself and little one, is the
romance of real life that ended in an
East side lodging house last Thursday
morning. Assistant Attorney General
Paul d'Aeirry, the injured husband,
with his daughter Orba. now occupies
Room No. IS at the Hoffman house.
Mrs. d'Heirry, until last evening, was
still at No. 1853 Third avenue, in room
over the restaurant of George Breiser,
where her husband discovered her.
Under
Threat of Instant Death.
Edward G. Morse, who had eloped
with Mrs. d'Heirry, led Mr.. d'Herry
and friend to the house where he had
been living with Mrs. d Henry and then
disappeared. Morse's desertion Of the
woman who had given up everything
she had in the world for him is the most
despicable feature of the unfortunate
affair. Beside this, Morse's treatment
of the husband, who had befriended
him, seems almost noble. Assis
tant Attorney General d'Heirry IS
known along the whole Pacific
coast as a lawyer and politician.
His wife is thirty-two years old, about
eight years younger than her husband.
Mr.. d Henry two years ago secured the
services of Edward G. Morse as music
teacher for his wife. The wife became
infatuated with the musician. The hus-
band had no.reason to doubt her until
weeks after the elopement. Through
the efforts of Mr.. d'Heirry, with whom
Morse established himself on the best
of terms, the musician secured many
scholars
Among the VeaIthfest People
of Seattle. When his income had suf-
ticently increased, Morse sent to San
Francisco for his wife and daughter.
Morse's child died about year ago, and
Mr.. d'Helrry paid the expense Of the
little girls illness and funeral. When
Mrs. d'Heirry asked her husband last
November for permission to come East
to visit relatives in this city, he readily
consented. Without. his knowledge,
Mrs. d. Henry sold two cottages which
belonged to her, on which she received
$4,000. Accompanied by Morse and
her daughter she went to San Fran
cisco, where they stopped at the Palace
R %ss as fbsI E. G & Morse set and y Mfs
d'Heirry's money and spent it lavishly.
Dec. the guilty pair went to Chicago.
thence to Washington. D'Heirry and
friend named Carson, lawyer of
Seattle. set out to discover the formers
wife. After long and tedious journey,
they located the pair in a boarding
house at East TWenty-frst street, New
York. Mrs. d'Heirry had left the
house. and, through the kind-hearted
landlady, Mr.. d'Heifry secured an inter-
view with his daughter. Later Mrs.
d'H eirry sent Morse to the house for
tn cir trunks, where he was confronted
by the wronged husband, who demand
ed and obtained his child. Morse has
fled, leaving the terrified woman behind
to shift for herself.
Her Health Broken.
Mrs. d'Heirry's health is broken, and
once in the past two weeks she at
tempted to kill herself and child. When
face to face with her husband the wom-
an was calm
"My wife, said d'Heirry. "seemed
almost to have expected me. She did
not cry. She said l could take the
child, who was in the next room. but
she begged to be allowed to see her and
kiss her once more. She told me she
thought the child would be better off
with me than with her, but she
said that as far as she was con-
cerned she did not care to come
