DEAR GUSSIE COMES HIGH.
DR.. Jacob G. Towls Adjudged to Pay Toll
to the Extent of $4,000 for Prac-
ticing His Charms on Another
Mans Wife.

In the case of Jas. McG. Emerson
vs.. Jacob G. Towle, tried in circuit court
Saturday, the jury brought In a verdict
for $4,000 damages in favor OF plaintiff
and against defendant. The action will
also give defendant a divorce from his
wife, Augusta, for the alternating OF
whose affections from him he obtains
this judgment against Towle. Emerson
and wife were married in California in
1884, afterward removing to Canada and
again to Kingsbury county, buying a
farm three miles from Oldham, where
they settled down about twelve years
ago. They have two children. In 1895
Emerson was taken sick and the profess
slonal services Of DR.. Jacob G. Towle Of
Oldham, also a large real estate holder
10 the northwest part Of this county,
were called into requisition. 1t was
during DE-. Towle's visits to Emerson
thatlhe became enamored Of Emerson's
wife aud his attentions being %recirroca-
ted an alliance and secret correspond.
ence between the guilty pair ensued. In
the early months of 90, Emerson and
family having moved into the residence
OF Towle at Oldham in order TO give
their children schooling, Emerson dis
covered the secret correspondence and
obtained many Of their letters, which
confirmed their guilt and opened his
eyes to the situation. Emerson moved
back to the farm in the spring and tried
to win his wife back but all to no pur-
pose. She and Towle managed to keep
up a secret correspondence, he all the
time urging her to leave her husband
and he would care for her handsomely
and tenderly. Many of the letters were
read in evidence, his being full of en-
dearment, hattery, coaxlng and promi-
ses. 1t was "My Dear Gussie, I worship
you";"I would die for YOU; II will
stand by you whatever happens; "leave
him and go somewhere, anywhere, to get
away from him." The womau's letters
were also a recital Of love, doubt, hest
tancy, aft ection for her children, a strug.
gle between right and wrong, a terrible
conflict with sin, full Of pathos, tender
ness at times, and finally complete SUBJ
lection to Towle's desires. Several
times Mrs. Emerson ran away from her
husband ana came back again to see her
children, and then left for parts un-
known, writing back to her wronged
husband in tenderest strains in regard to
the children but not letting him know
where she was. Neither Towle nor the
woman appeared at the emit in defense
Of their unhallowed amour and 1t was an
easy matter for the jury to arrive at a
verdict. Anticipating the outcome,
Towle has lately decided two farms in
this county TO other parties but it is
thought they can still be reached, with
other property be has, under this judg-
! ment.
