she tossed her head one side. "I'll Just let

Mrs. Kate Silling said her husband had
been as kind and loving as possible during
the ten years of their married life till two
months ago. He had supplied her with all
she could ask and there had been no trouble
between them. HE was just as good TO me
as he could be, she exclaimed in tears. He
wasn't like other travelling men to leave their
wives at home, but when he went anywhere
he always took me with him. He took me TO

the reporter.
"They told me at Edinboro," was the
younger woman's reply, that he had been

said: You've got to take me for ride He

''We are told,' said the mother, that she
keeps him drinking all she can. When he got
away from her at Edinboro first his friends
laughed at him, but he felt wretchedly and
begged them to keep him away from her, but
she got him to drinking again and so con-
trolled him.

Glennan and Arthur Silling is easy. Mrs.
Glennan started out yesterday morning to

went to Clarence A. Brandenburg. but he,
too, declined. 1t is not known that she has

In the afternoon she and Silling went
around to the Twelfth street clearinghouse
and put their baggage into an old wagon.
Silling paid his bill, 81, but Mrs. Glennan
said she had no money and told them to send
the bill TO her brother-in-law John Glennan.

tured about noon and taken 10 the Fourth
precinct station-house by Policemen Espey

of his arrest, was accosting every person on
the bridge whom he thought was in the
