Dave A. Weis.
This advertisement, published in a
Brooklyn newspaper Friday, will be as
interesting to Savannahians as it is to
New Workers and Brooklynites.
Dave Weis is as we'll known in Sa-
vannah as he is in New York. His
wife was here and attracted atten-
ton about a year ago. She was first
known to Savannahians as the anna
teur champion swimmer who mar
ried the former manager of the Savan-
nah Theater. Then she came to Sa-
vanah with her husband and sprang
into the public gaze by figuring as the
victim of a holdup on one of the roads
west of the city. This was on April
Fools day. 1903.
Mrs. Weis is a particularly attractive
woman-just 1S-of radiant blond type.
She is a buxom young woman, and at
tracted good deal of attention around
the De Soto when she was here. She
was Eleanore Weber, a Flatbush school
girl, when she ran away from home,
January, a year ago, and married the
manager of the Columbia Theater.
Brooklyn. The fact that she was a
champion swimmer was exploited at
that time.
Mrs. Weis Was Surprised.
"The idea! The very idea! AS if
had been going around town buying
things on his credit"
With one accord the New York and
Brooklyn papers agree that this was
what Mrs. Weis said when she was
shown the notice published by her
husband. OF course she said other
things and the following Interview that
she gave to the Brooklyn Eagle will
prove interesting:
when 1 married Weis 1 was only
16 years old and 1 was as simple and
innocent as most girls OF that age He
knew that and he knew l had whole
lot to learn. At first he was kind and
&C siderate. He knew that 1 was of a
lively disposition and he did his
best to give me a good time. For six
months we got along all right.
Gradually, however. 1 began to find
out that he was selfish and brutal
When 1 talked back TO him or did
anything to displease him he would
strike me. 1 am not the sort of a girl
to stand that, and 1 told him so. When
he got over his anger he would cry
and apologize, and 1 would forgive
him.
"Once before he treated me so badly
that l left him and came home
told papa and mama 1 wouldn't go
back to him. but when he came out
and pleaded with me he seemed so
sorry that 1 thought I'd try it again.
For the last six months he has been
getting worse and worse. can't begin
to I'll you all the mean things he has
said and done. l could talk for week
and not be half through.
Had Frequent "Scenes."
"Why, only three weeks ago one
evening we were going to play cards
got the table and things ready, and
just as we were going to sit down
Dave went out. He said he would
be back in ten minutes. We waited
and waited for him, but he didn't
come back. Finally, Maudie, and 1
went to bed. L left a note on the
door, asking him not to wake us.
AT o'clock the next morning he
came in burst into our room, and
lighted the gas. He came to the bed
and shook me awake. Then he said:
You get UP out of that bed and
come in the other room! "
There was scene and afterward he
cried and said he was sorry and beg
ged me not to tell anyone.
Climbed on the Roof.
We'll, the reason 1 left him was
this.
Last Sunday evening went over to
the Grand Central Station to see a
friend of mine off. When I got back
home to our boarding house, at g.
Clark street, found he had bolted the
door and locked me out. We had two
rooms there. He had the key to one,
and l had the key to the other. He
had bolted my door and gone away
with the key to his own door. 1 tried
every way to get in. I took off my
hat and skirt, which / didn't wish to
ruin, for it was raining outside, and l
climbed out on the roof of the shed
and tried to get in the window. But
he had locked the window, and 1
couldn't get in.
II sat down on the stairs and Won
dered what 1 should do. l waited there
long time, until heard Molly, one
of the servants, coming down stairs
l told her the fix I was in, and told
her l didn't want to rouse the house
because most of the boarders had
heard us fussing and quarreling so
much they didn't like us much, any
way. Well, Molly was just as nice
as she could be. She took me up in
the attic and made a kind of bed
for me on the floor, and slept there
all night.
To Sue for Divorce.
Mr. Weis, if you please, didn't come
In at all that night. nor the next
morning. About noon on Monday
went to the theater to get the key
from him. He had a lawyer there
with him, and the lawyer said Weis
was through with me, and didn't want
anything more to do with me. He said
Weis was going to sue me for d.
Norce. l heard my husband tell him
that there was no difficulty about that.
Il came out and told papa how l
had been treated. All my clothes were
down there, and papa said he would
go down with me and get them. We
went down to the Adams street sta
ton on Wednesday, got a detective
and went over there. At first the land
lady wouldn't let us in, but when the
astive threatened to beat down the
door she decided to open 1t.
Took Pair of Socks.
IF he says I took his clothes. he is
telling what isn't true. The only thing
of his / took was pair Of socks, and
they We're mixed in with my things.
