A story that reads like a page from some
bizarre romance found its elimination in
Savannah yesterday. Figuring as the
principal characters are young dentist OF
Atlanta, and his young and beautiful, but
hayward and erratic wife From the rank
and file OF the police and from other
sources the rest of the roles are filled. The
story lacks a moral. for in it vice trIumphs
and indignant virtue meets with defeat.
The young woman left her home and
husband in Atlanta last Wednesday and
became an inmate of house in that city.
Friday she came ~ Savannah and enter
ed the house kept by Madame Minnie Clay,
wronged and deserted husband reached
the city upon a search for his erring wife
He enlisted the services of the police and
she was located in the house in which she
was living, and at her husbands request
was arrested by Detective Scully and car
ried to the office CT the superintendent of
police. There her husband met her and
an affecting scene ensued, he implor.ng her
to return and she constantly and stead
lastly refusing to do so, upon any terms
She told him that If he took her to Atlanta
by force, she would run away from him
as soon as The train reached there. Prayers
and entreaties availed nothing; threats
were equally futile. She declared thai she
dld not love her husband and would not
live with him.
The woman was kept at the barracks
until her attorney was notified. When he
heard of her arrest he demanded her re-
lease This was after she had been de-
tanned for an hour or two As the police
ofhclals, OF course, had no right to keep
ner, the demand was at once complied
with, and she was given her liberty She
returned then to the house in which she
had been living, giving up a virtuous and
comfortable home and a husbands love
IOf dnOtner life.
In the meantime, Madame Clay had
sworn out a warrant for the husband. re-
curing him to give bond to keep the
peace. As he was leaving the office of
the superintendent at o clock he was ar
rested on this warrant, and carried before
Justice Naughtin, to whom he told the
story. This recital evidently touched the
magistrate, for he was released without
giving bond. He left the magistrates Of
flee and since that time has made no
further effort to induce his wife TO return
. to him. Whether he left at night for
Atlanta IS not known. Evidently he is
madly in love with the woman TO whom
he has pledged his troth, and he seemed
to be broken in spirit and in heart
1t is said that the young man comes of
a good family, and has been successful
in the practice of his profession His
mad infatuation for his wife has caused
him much trouble and this is not the first
time she has left him. She is child Of
II, with all of a child's Maynard caprice
and with an added taste for vice that
makes prosaic life at home distasteful
and unbearable. The police authorities re-
fused to make the story public or to dis
cuss the matter at all.
