The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1893-09-23


ever an unpleasant sequel to the happy
event finds its way into the same columns by
reason Of the sudden disappearance of the
groom under circumstances which have
created quite a stir in the community. The
case is a most peculiar one and unlike any
other that has yet come before the people of
the town.
No secret is made of the facts by any Of
the parties Immediately interested. In fact
there seems to be disposition that all the
circumstances shall be made as public as
possible so that the truthful version of the
affair may counteract the many ridiculous
stories that have already gained circulation.
One of these distorted stories is that the
groom left suddenly because he had misap
propriated SiOO belonging to the Shenandoah
Manufacturing Company. This story one of
the firm emphatically denied to-day and
stated that Mr. Sincock's accounts with the
company are correct.
Sincock was employed by the company as
travelling salesman and general assistant at
the factory. He and Miss Millichap were
married on the 18th inst and on the same
day they started on their bridal tour. On
Saturday last they went housekeeping on
South Jardin street, near the residence Of the
brides parents. Yesterday afternoon Sincocl1
disappeared without telling his wife or any
Of his friends where ne was going. He mas
not been heard from since and some of his
intimate friends say it is not likely that he
will return. During his wiEe's absence he
entered the house by way of window,
put on a reserve suit Of clothes and then hur-
ried to the Pennsylvania railroad depot. 1t
is supposed that he left on the I1l5 "a. m. train
for Philadelphia,
A reporter called on Mrs. lSincock to-day at
The residence Of her mother, Mrs Eliza Afilh-
chap, POI South Jardiu street. The young
woman was evidently much distressed, yet
seemed willing that her position in the mat
ter should be fully explained to the public.
She said that before the wedding Sincocll as
surld her that he had more than sufficient
funds in the Merchants National Bank to
furnish a home but it was decided to only
furnish a kitchen and bed room before the
wedding and make the balance Of the pur-
chases after the bridal tour, when the bride
would have ample time to select and arrange
all that mightb be needed What things were
purchased Mrs Sincock says she understood
had been paid for before they started on their
trip, but upon their return Mrs. Sincock
learned that many Of the things had not been
paid. She also learned that her husband had
no money in bank. The latter discovery was
ding day Sincock gave his mother
a cheek for delivery to Beddall
Bros in payment for a range. The check
was returned as mo good" and Mrs. sincock
demanded an explanation. The husband
made a plausible statement and said he
would make matters right within few days.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Sincock called at
her husbands place of business and de-
manded money to pay for all the goods that
had been purchased and for other things
needed for the house. Sincock asked for
time and said he would meet her at their
home at 10 a. m. He failed to keep the en-
gagement and the wife again called at the
factory. This time he asked that the matter
be delayed until noon and the wife con-
sented The interview at which this ar
rangement was made was the last straw.
Mrs. Sincock declared that if she did not
receive the money she would not live with
Sincock any more. Before the time for the
second appointment expired Sincock had
disappeared To-day the wife was engaged
in returning the unpaid for articles to the
dealers They are as good as new, having
been in use only four days The paid for
articles and the personal effects the wife had
removed to her mothers residence.
81 know l am the cause of the breaking up
and l regret that my action has occasioned so
much public discussion" said Mrs. Sincock to
the reporter, "but he deceived me so COM
pletely that lost all confdencein in him and /
was determined that he should make things
right at once, or l would not live with him
any longer lie told me he had plenty money
iu the bank for our wants and 1 left good
home and good position to marry him
When / discovered the true state Of affairs
lost all my faith and could see no other couHC
than the one I took Reapeatad promi' O.
