EMPLOYED A DETECTIVE.
Mr.. Bagaiey says that thus deserted lie
employed Mr.. James A. McDevitt, the de-
tective, to look after him in his helpless
condition. Mr.. McDevitt had him taken
to Providence Hospital. After he had been
there two weeks his money was gone and
his wife was notified 10 pay his board or
remove him.
Thereupon Mrs. Williams, with two or
three doctors who had never examined
him, went before a jury and swore that he
was OF unsuund mind He was removed TO
st. EliZabeth's oil Christmas eve. There
he remained till April last.
The day after he went To Mrs. Stones he
was served with notice OF divorce pro-
ccedinys, but when he was placed in the
asylum action in this line was stopped.
His wife visited him there and deceitfully
manifested great affection toward him. On
April . last she made formal applica ton
for his discharge from the asylum.
She told DIR. Stack, one of the physicians,
that she would come and take him and
they would go TO housekeeping. AT this
time Mr.. c. e. Lancaster had S6T2, sup
posed to be the last payment he was to re-
ceive from his mothers estate. His wife
said She was without funds, and he must
give her this money, and they would take
house.
He complied and they went around to the
real estate offices. He was still staying
at the asylum. After she got the IN oney she
began 10 break her engagements with him
and finally the day he was discharged, in
stead of coming after him, as agreed, she
sent her servant with 500 and left him
to take care of himself. She wrote TO him
at the same time that she would have
nothing more to do with him. He was thus
left with no friend, no home and nobody
TO offer him advice, deserted like dog
in the street"
HIS DIVORCE IRREGULAR.
Mr.. Bagaley says he discovered soon after
his arrival in this country that his divorce
from his first wife was irregular, and
proposed To have a new marriage ceremony
after proper legal steps so as 10 protect
the name OF their children. This he could
not get done. Mrs. Williams he says,
has exerted herself on every occasion to
prevent a reconciliation. She has shown
great vindictiveness.
Up to June Is last his children were
allowed TO visit him almost daily. and on
Sunday went to mass with him. On that
date he received a letter from his daughter
Lizzie, saying they could not visit him
any more, and from that time he has not
seen them.
Last summer his wife moved with his
aunt from this city to Gaithersburg, Nd,
beyond the jurisdiction of this court. She
thus took all their furniture. jewelry,
&c, out of his reach. There, on October 25,
he charges, she gave birth TO a child, which
it is impossible should be his. He, there
fore, charges her with adultery, and asks
that he be given a divorce and custody OF
the three children, Elizabeth, Olga and
John.
Mr.. Bagaley, in spite of his severe ex-
perience, is still handsome, well in
formed and interesting man on the sunny
side of forty. His wife is beautiful and
vivacious daughter of the sunny skies of
Italy, ten years younger. He believes
reconciliation could be made but for his
auDts interference.
