WhitYam'S Troubles
Aired For The Public
The Young Husband Openly
charges his wife with InfideIi-
ty. Highly Sensational
Story.

The martial relations between Mr..
and Mrs. Wallace A. Whitman have
ended forever. She has gone to the
home Of her father at.Jayeen and he
has gone to Central America. They
played quits week ago. Mr.. Whit
wan announces that he will sue for
absolute divorce, upon the grounds of
infdelity, naming Dick Marsh, a w.
Va, and Pittsburg fireman. as cores
pendent.
Mrs. Whitman was Miss Pearl
Honaker, of Weston, before her mar
riage. Their wedding tinged somewhat
of romance. They were married at
Oakland, Nd, May 9th last, although,
it is understood, there was no parental
objection. Mrs. Whitman is a beauti-
full and vivacious young woman, and
all was lovely for while. Each APP
peared very fond of the other, but Mr..
Whitwam's bride, he claims, was pos
sessed Of considerable duplicity, and
was sharing her affections without his
knowledge or consent with the person,
whom he will name as correspondent
in his divorce suit. This man, itseems,
paid Mrs. Whitman some attention
before her marriage, and shortly after
ward they bega a correspondence,
which was kept up until thu startling
discovery was made. Mr.. WHITMAN
YVES first appraised of his wife'S intideli-
ty by railroad men, and his suspicion
was aroused. He .discredited the re-
ports, but later Investigated them.
According to his story, his wife had
appointments to meet her lover at
Grafton, Parksrsburg, Weston, Buck
harmon and Salem at various times,
and few days before the sensational
attempt of Mr.. Whitman to take his
life few weeks ago, she asked him
for mouey to 60 TO. Salem TO visit
friends. He consented to her going
and gave her the money. Instead of
going to Salem, however, she went to
Weston, where she met Marsh at the
Bailey hotal and stopped there under
an assumed name. She was compelled
by the proprietor to leave the hotel.
Marsh and the woman left the hotel
together. Mr.. WHITMAN went in
search of her and found her at Weston.
They returned home and he pursued
the destroyer of his home and happi-
ness so closely that the latter surren-
dered letters TO Mr.. Whitwam'S
mother, which Mrs. Whitman had
written to her clandestine lover.
These letters compromised Mrs. Whit
wan and their contents are said to be
somewhat sensational. Among other
things contained in them were de-
mands for money to pay expenses in
meeting Marsh in other towns, rail
4jad fare, etc. She received letters
Pom Marsh under an assumed name
and, 1t is said, had private box at
the post bfice. The name assumed by
her was Irene Russell" This scheme
prevented Mr.. Whitman from getting
hold of any Of her mail.
After the attempt to take his life,
reconciliation was effected. She prom
ised to behave and be loyal after that.
But day or so after that she wrote
TO Marsh asking him for means for
them to go away together, Marsh,
however, gave this letter to Mr.. Whit
wants mother and her designs were
