Won ARNOLD and His DUPE.
The Woman Reported to be Sick in
Wyoming.
But She Will Return The Bogus
Baron Said to be
Bigamist.

The plot of Won Arnold, the bogus
Baron, to get Jennie Shurtleff Young
away from Lawyer Delmas by taking
her to Europe or somewhere else and
abandon her and her child among
strangers appears to have miscarried,
so far as the full scope of the scheme
was concerned.
The woman was taken sick on the
train and at last accounts was laid up
in Wyoming. Won Arnold is supposed
to have left her and continued his jour-
ney eastward in his effort to get as far
away as possible from California.
Yesterday Chief of Police Drew was
requested to have requisition papers
sent to him from Louisville forwarded
to that city, from which it would APP
pear that the Kentucky authorities are
on the lookout for the fellow. In the
meantime his employer, c. J. Stilwell,
has flown to Wyoming, but just for
what purpose is not yet known.
Said Chief of Police Lees to a San
Francisco reporter on Monday night: Il
consider this one of the most Infamous
plots that has ever been called
to my attention. This woman.
Jennie Young, was induced to
marry one of the blacklist scroundrels
in this or any other country. / firmly
believe that the discovery of his iden-
tity has saved her life. l know that
she was very i'll when she took the
train to begin her trip East, and / also
know that she is now very i'll. l do
not believe Won Arnold ever intended
to take her to Germany
s.Tba whole ,,lot y,,oc+ 70 ~, o,, G
thing. The man that was employed to
carry it out is a bigamist twice over,
for / have information that he was
married to another woman before he
married Miss Paul in 1890. The record
of his crimes and confidence operations
would fill a volume and there is no act
that he would not commit We're he paid
to do so, or if the prospective profit was
in proportion to the enormity of the
crime.
This poor woman, Jennie Young, has
been led into the trap laid by the
scoundrel and she may have to pay
with her life the penalty of her mis-
take
| AS proof of the mans villainy Chief
Lees has in his possession a copy of the
certificate of marriage of Won Arnold to
Miss Emma Paul. The chief says
this woman is still living and has never
been legally separated from Won Ar
mold, and that the latter's act in marry
| ing Jennie Young rendered him guilty
/ of the crime of bigamy. Mrs. Won Ar
mold is living in San Francisco at pres
ent, and if she can be found she will be
asked to institute a criminal action
| a h9 nd no ic tn
have been seen in Won Arnold's COM
pany a day or two before he left San
Francisco.
Lawyer Hutton, the woman's friend
who says he tried to dissuade her from
marrying Won Arnold Ghe real Baron
Won Turkham, as she believed him to
be-, says he has received word from the
deluded woman that she will at once
return to San Francisco, having dis
covered the fraud that was practiced
on her. If she does she will probably
make that city uncomfortably hot for
Lawyer Delmas.
THE REAL WIFE.
A San Francisco dispatch last even
ing says: Mrs. Emma Won Arnold, the
first wife of the detective who, as a
bogus Baron, married Jeannine Young
and has arrived at Omaha, communi-
Gated with the Chief of Police here
to-day. She produced her marriage GER
tificate, showing that her marriage
with the alleged Count Won Turkheim
was genuine. 1t is expected by the
local police that Won Arnold will be
arrested on his eastward flight, as he
is wanted by the authorities of many
cities"
