ran away to New York city with Geo
L. Maser, has filed suit in the circuit

troubles since she left her husband
and went to New York with George L.
Maser, formerly head porter at the
Hotel Baltimore. Maser was brought
back by the detective after he and Mrs
hebard had spent few days at the

the affections of his wife. The climax
came yesterday when Mrs Hebard
sued Willis Wood who was Vicitimized
by Maser, for SANDER.
