Last night a sad and peculiar case of
domestic infelicity was brought to
light at the police station. 1t was the
outcome of warrant of arrest served
upon c. E. Sabin, who lives near the
corner of Tenth South and Eleventh
East streets. The warrant charges Sa-
bin with adultery, and was SwJrn out
by his wife. The woman in the case is
Mrs. ]. c. Montgomery, who is also
charged with the same offence, but She
has SO far evaded arrest.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sabin are past their
youthful days, and the hair of both
has already turned to gray. They have
been married for % years, and Mrs.
Sabin said that never before has any
thing occurred to mar their peace and
happiness. She said that her husband
had always been a true, honest, honor
able and indulgent husband They had
lived for IL years at Colorado Springs,
where they were we'll known.
During the session of ,la LAST legis-
lature in Denver Mr.. Sabin had been
employed as stenographer. After that
he left Denver and came 10 Salt Lake,
but could obtain no employment in his
been employed as a paperhanger by
Midgely Bros, on East First South
street. While living here, Mr.. Sabin
said, Mrs. Montgomery, Denver
woman, followed him, and it is charged
that he was living with her.
WIFE, HUNTS HIM UP.
Mrs. Eta Sabin, his legal wife, said
that she was told by friends that her
husband had come to Salt Lake, and
was with another woman. Upon hear
ing this, she came here TO fin,i her err
ring spouse. Arriving in the citv she
obtained rooms with Mrs. Charles
Pitcher at 351 State street. Sce d. !. Il
know Eer husbands address, but set
diligently to work 10 find him. The
results of her Investigations were that
she appeared before Judge Wenger and
swore to a complaint charging both Sa-
bin and the woman, Mrs. Montgomery
with adultery. Sabin was arrested last
night, but the woman evidently heard
of the affair and cou'd nct ts found.
A FEARFUL INTERVIEW.
Mrs. Sabin visited her husband last
night at the police station and the IN
terview which followed was a sad ald
fearful one. Both Mr.. Sabin and his
wife appear to be a refined, well edu-
Gated couple. AS they sat together on
the divan in the chiefs Office last night
it was pitiful sight. AS Mrs. Sabin,
her arms around her husbands mech,
sat by his side and pleaded with him,
nothing could more plainly show the
true wifely devotion that she gave
him.
Charlie. Charlie" she cried "Oh.
my God, why did you do it? 1 must
save you, Charlie. 1 cannot let you go
on in this path of sin. Oh. Charlie, my
husbandr' Her voice broke and she
wept as if her heart would break.
With her arms about his neck, her
head on his shoulder, she cried Bit
terly, while her erring husband sat
with his arm about her waist his
head bowed and the tears in his eyes.
With words filled with tenderest feel
ing and shaken with the violence of
her emotion, she spoke to him of his
sin, and pleaded with him for his ref
Looking up from her husband she
said: 1T will all come out right. There
is no sin so great that it cannot be for
given. God, our Heavenly Father, says
that our sins shall be forgiven. l shall
not let my husband be doomed to eter
nal punishment"
AS she left him in the custody of the
police she exclaimed, between her sobS:
For Gods sake don't mistreat him.
Put him where it's clean. oh, Charliel"
And she left the station, supported by
Acting Chief Eslinger. She was
hearthroken woman.
Sabin was held and will await a hear
ing on the charge preferred against
him. He is evidently very repentant,
and bears no i'll feelings against his
wife for causing his arrest
