Bitter Honeymoon of Anna Kennedy,
Married Last Wednesday to JO-
seph De TrOuilIy.

The following Associated Press tele-
gram was received from st. Louis last
night:
Mrs. Joseph De Trouilly, until last Wednes-
day Miss Anna B. Kennedy, a seamstress, liv-
ing with her married sister at 294 Aurora
avenue, ST. Paul. is stranded here minus hus-
band and money. Joseph de Trouilly, who
claimed to be the credit agent for a large
wholesale tobacco firm in Kansas City, and
to whom Miss Kennedy trusted her future
happiness and savings last Wednesday, is the
missing man.
According to the story of the deserted wo-
man, she and De Trouilly, whom she met first
at Chicago suburb, came here directly after
their marriage at st. Paul. On Thursday the
husband took $1,500 belonging to Mrs. de
Irou1lly to change into larger bills and since
then has not been seen by the latter. The de-
serted woman today requested the police to
look for the missing man.
Mrs. De Trouilly's brother-in-law
substantiated last night the statements
contained in the foregoing telegram
and added
eve received this afternoon a mes
sage from Anna, telling us that her
husband had disappeared with the
money, but giving no details It was
big surprise for us. De Trouilly was
an entire gentleman in his appearance,
man about thirty-five years old.
Anna was down to Chicago some
months ago on a visit to friends and
they introduced her to this De Trouilly.
They said that he had an excellent
reputation in Kansas City, and always
spoke of him to her in the highest
terms. Anna was SO pleased with him
that they corresponded after she came
back home, and last week De Trouilly
arrived himself, SO that they would be
married here at Annals home. The
wedding took place Wednesday. 1t
was a quiet affair. They started off
the same night on a trip which was
intended to take in st. Louis, New Or
leans and the South generally. Then
they were to go to housekeeping at
Kansas City, where De Trouilly
business is located. That was the rea-
son Anna drew her money out of the
bank. She had been a dressmaker for
a number of years and had, besides
lot or two, this 81 800 of ready money.
1t was suggested that Anna had bet
ter leave the money here until she
got settled, when it could be sent to
her by express. But she said it
couldn't be any safer than when she
had it in her own possession, and so
she took it along. l can't say whether
De Trouilly advised her to draw the
money out, but it might have been so.
I'm sure I can't understand it.
There's possibility, although surely
not very strong one, that the affair
understanding. and that De Trouilly
is as good a fellow as he appeared to
be. For my part, I thought him a most
respectable, intelligent, sensible man.
He said that he had lived in Kansas
City for number of years, and that
he had come originally from Canada
He showed me incidentally cards and
other advertising matter of his firm in
Kansas City which appeared to be do
ing an extensive business. The fact,
If true, as he claimed, that he was
the credit man for the house looked
like he was trusted by his employers.
Anna has been living with US. She
is an excellent woman, and no doubt
had as much confidence in her hus-
band as every one else has in her. L
haven't made up my mind yet as to
what course 1 shall advise Anna to
take, but 1 presume that all she can
do, for the present at least, is to place
the matter in the hands of the police"
