ELOPERS HOME
Beck Was Arrested for An
noying Miss Schmitt's
Father.

William Beck, ferty-eight years old, who
now has no home, was arraigned in the
First Criminal Court, charged with be-
ing a disorderly person. The complainant
was Jacob Schmitt of No. 531 Jersey ave-
nue.. Mr.. Schmitt is the father of Eva
Schmitt, twenty years old, the young
lady with whom Beck eloped few
months ago after a courtship of several
years.
When he left with the young lady Beck
deserted a wife and son. Shortly after
the eopement the son George died, and it
was believed that death was caused indi-
rectly by Beck's action. Mrs. Beck at the
time of her sons death became temporar-
lily insane, and she is now living with her
mother in Marion. Mrs. Beck knew of the
relations existing between her husband
and Miss Schmitt for three years.
On several occasions she saw them to-
