On the far off golden shore,
Where an angel bright and beautiful
He will dwell forever more.

IS DABNEY A B1eAM1sT.
Some New and Sensational Features
In The Case.

In The Case.
The Sentinel recently gave an
account of case which came up
in the court of Squire Cunning
ham on the South Side in which
Mrs. Dabney. of Leon, W. Va,
came here and swore out warrant
for the arrest of her husband John
L. Dabney, on the charge of nom
support, which charge she with
drew on the promise of her recreant
husband that he would return
home and support the family. 1t
will also be remembered that Dab
ney was living with a woman on
South Side. to whom it was SUP.
posed he had bean married in
Marietta two or three days after
Christmas.
It was learned today that parties
residing in this city on Wednesday
received letter from friends in
Leon, stating that another interest
ing chapter has taken place in
connection with the affair 1t is
alleged that after returning to
Leon, that Dabney secured a pc.
sition on the railroad and appar
emily WAS endeavoring to earn q
living for his family, but that
several days ago he informed his
wife that he was going to see his
father who resides at small place
across the river from GallipoIie, to
get some money.
1t is also alleged that he told his
wife that he was going to get the
money and that he intended to To-
cate where he wasn't known and
would later send for the family.
The interesting feature in the mat
ter as alleged, is that since Dab
neys departure two letters came to
Leon in care of the railroad, ad-
dressed to him, and as he was
not there to receive them they
were given to his wife who read
them.
It is alleged that one of the let
ters was from the authorities al
Marietta who issue marriage licen.
ses asking him to return the mar.
rage license which was issued to
him in December, as the time had
elapsed in which a return should
have been made upon the same
and that unless the license was re-
turned, proceedings would be DOM,
manced against him, The Other
letter is alleged to have been writ
ten by a woman who agreed t.
meet him any place that might b,
named after he had secured tht
money from his father.
It is said that after reading tn,
letters Mrs Dabney vent to Poinr
Pleasant and swore ont another
warrant for her husband PARKS

Dabney was arrested here fol
the non-support of his family anc
was taken before squire BoggesI
and compromise was made where
