The world is ricner than it used to be,

political tllievery il New York and

great American desert wiped from the

Revelations Result From Police
man Beek's Capture Of His
Truant Wife.

Joseph Nash, thirty-ive years old, of
No. AS Ann street, West Hobokan, and
Mrs. Emma Peek, tnirty-two years old,
of No. 200 Park avenue Hoboksn. were
arrested at the latter place early this
morning by Officer Young upon complaint
OF Charles Reck, the woElan's husband.
Reck is a West Hoboken patrolnaan, and
he lived until recently with his wife and
fifteerEyear-old daughter on Aagalique
street, tina town. His wife suddenly left
him, and took a considerable amount of
the household effects with her. Reck
lost all trace of her until Saturday night,
when he learned that she was living in
Hoboken as the wife Of Nash. Reck got
excused from duty at four O'Clock this
morning and went directly to the house
where his wife and Nash were. Knocking
on the door ne waited fifteen minutes for
an answer. Then it came in the shape
Of
Hello, who's Thereof from his wife.
Its me, Emma replied Reck in a
very pleasant tone, even if it was a little
ungrammatical.
"Oh, it is. is it? Well. my dear, you
can't come in here So you might as well
go home" she replied.
Reck, however. didn't take her advice
and hung around the house in the biting
cold until nearly eight O'clock. AT last
by strategy he gained an entrance into
the house and then a scene took place
which only those who participated in it
know about and they VIII not tell.
It must have been very exciting, for
Mrs. 1Reck raised the window and shout
ed for the police. Officer Young heard
her cries and running to the house opened
the front door and ran upstairs. When
he reached the room where they were
he saw no signs of a struggle or of there
having been one, and he knew not what
to do. Mrs. Reck asked him to eject her
husband, and Reck in turn ordered
Young to arrest his wife and Nash and
he would make a charge Of living in
open lewdness against them. The officer
decided to arrest the trio and accordingly
did so. At the station house no COM
plant was made against Reck and he was
not held, but upon his complaint both
his wife and Nash were locked up.
When arraigned later the couple did
not deny the charge and were held by
Recorder McDonough under $500 bail to
await the action of the Grand Jury.
Reck visited his wife in her cell with
their fffteen-year-old daughter just be-
fore the woman was sent to the County
Jail, and had a long talk with her. The
girl, who is a very pretty blonde, came
out crying bitterly. Reck started off at
once to get bail for his wife.
It is alleged that Reck's wife left him
because he neglected her for other wo-
men. He was mixed up in the Wurster
scandal, which was the chief sensation
in West Hoboken two months ago.
