James Pezzillo Has Not
Yet Learned Her Where
aboutS.
A LETTER FROM ANNIE.
She Says She Won't Live With
James and Wants a
Separation.
A LETTER FROM ANNIE.

The exclusive publication in THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS last evening of the trouble of
James Pezzillo, of No. 81 Central avenue
with his fater- Jaw, and the mysterious dis
appearance of Pezzllo's wife, caused much
excitement throughout the city. It's some
thing unusual for mans wife to be taken
from him without his consent. Later
investigation by NEWS reporter adds
much mystery to the case. Papa
Lane has letter claiming to be from his
daughter, in which she says she doesn't want
to live with her husband. Pezzillo is satisfied
his wife is being forced to write these letters.
1t seems Pezzillo was acquainted with Annie
before he came North four months ago.
While in Florida he received from her the
following letter.
ANNIE'S LETTER.

me to put this note in with this.

ANNIE LANE.
Below are a lot of crosses, each cross
meaning kiss. Pezzillo has number of
other letters written in the same strain. He
says he can prove that the girl loved him,
and that if it wasn't for her father she
would be living with him today.
LETTER TO CONSTABLE LOCKE.
Constable Joseph Locke, it is said, knows
where Annie is, and has from her a number
of letters One of these letters Papa Lane
this morning showed a NEWS reporter. 1t is
as follows
Mr.. Locker

ANNIE LANE.
Mr.. Lane positively refuses to tell where
his daughter is. He declares he does not
know He fears that if Pezzillo discovers
her whereabouts he will take steps to bring
her back.
HIS WIFE CAN HAVE HER OWN WAY.
Pezzillo said this morning that if his wife
didn't want to live with him she needn't.
She could live with her father if she chose,
or he would furnish a house for her. He
said:-"I wanta noa trubl ina disa case.
Ifa shea coma back Ia nota touch her.
me threata to killa her isa ALA a DANA lie"
He went on to say that when he told Papa
Lane that he had married his daughter, Lane
told him never to speak to him again Lane
had promised his daughter to him for the
past three years.
When Mr. Lane was told that Pezzillo said
that he had promised to let Annie marry
him. he said:-
sWeIl, know that; but I never intended
to let her, though, but the d dago scared
her into it."
The neighbors think different, and Mrs
Murray, who lives in the rear says that
Annie often came into her house and told
her she loved him. A few days before they
were married, Annie went into Mrs. Muir
rays and showed her 500 bill which she
SAYS Jimmie DEAR gave her to buy clothes
with, and told her then that she was
going to marry him, for he was real nice,
and that she would probably never get an
other chance to marry SO good man.
