attempt 10 shield him from the law, will
immediately go West 10 join tim, if she
has not already started. II is quite pos
hible Tat lhe same train viii carry young
Earrg FEEDER.
What FEEDER intentions are may only
be surnlised 1t is said that he still be-
heyt.s Ia his wife innocence Of anything
more than indisoregioE In this case, he
probably hopes 70 prove II, and 10 punish
thC people who circulated the slanderous
statements about her. If he finds the
story Jrge Ia every particular, there may
be as startling and sensational sn ending
70 the drama a. its beginning has been.
Cross ias iDeen living with his mother for
soIue tlrre at 3I6 Indiana avenue, where
the Feders reside He IS an only son
and Ms cross H. very much attached TO
hin. She was shocked and almost over
come by the publication OF the story frorl
Cinclnnapi of her sons wayNvardness and

that he had had with him in his iniquity

have incurred, and to Do anything else that
As possible 10 save him Mrs Cross made
the statement yesterday that her son is
not entirely responsible and that his mind
has never quite recovered from recent
severe aftack Of typhoid fever.
Tire conduct OF Cross shows up in more
and more unpleasant light az the circum-
stances develop. IL is now learned that
when ne was arrested At the Palace Hotel
on "Wednesday he boasted that the woman
VINO had stayed with him al the hotel one
and that he gave her name and that of her
husband and his address in this city.
The ciIcumstantial evidence that this
story OF MS is true is very strong, al
though Mrs FEEDER stin Indignantly denies
it and her husband stin believes her.
Mrs FEEDER left this city three weeks ago
TO 60 TO Dayton. o. on the night of that
day Cross went 10 Ohio also, and appeared
at Dayton soon after she did, although
he tod Mr.. Feder before he left that he
was gong TO Marietta Gross went TO
visit in the same house where Mrs. FEEDER

but was soon after seen frequently with

washington signed Il. F. and reading
They have discovered all. Wait fH
Ic.aer." This telegram was sent sooT
after Mrs FEEDER reached WaSh hingtOn
though it has not yet been traced to he
directly.
Il is asserted in Cincinnati that Mr.. and
Mrs Davis. with whom Mrs. FEEDER stayed
had learned Of her frequent visits to CroS
and advised her 80 leave the city. Il
is supnnseh that it was this advice whicl
decided her and which also caused tn
