Mrs. Wilkinson for four years before
her marriage was employed by her hus-
band private detective. They were
married In July 1897. A few months ar
terward, she says, she noticed a decided
change in his treatment OF her, amount
ing 10 Indifference.
When she asked for an explanation he
told her 10 be content as time would tell
what the trouble was. Later he told her
that he was making an investigation
Of her past conduct, and when he had
finished it he would explain.
on Oct. Mr. Wilkinson his wife says,
told her he had discovered that she had
had six husbands, and that he had
copy OF four marriage certificates in
