PROVES WIFE.
IN NAME ONLY
Strange Phase of Woman's
Life Revealed When Her
Daughter Is Taken Away
SHE IGNORES CEREMONY
Disappearance of Fifteen
Year Old Girl Followed
by a Sensational Sequel

BERKELEY, Aug. S.-"Mrs." Joel
Agee mas determined to fight for pos
session of her pretty 15-year- -old
daughter, Esther. who disappeared last
Saturday, even though the mothers
contest may bring upon her the re-
proach attaching to those who have not
the sanction OF church or state for
their marital relations.
Mother love in the case of Mrs"
Agee has triumphed over personal
pride and she is determined that the
search for her missing girl. now sup
posed to be in the custody of her faith
er, Jesse Van Velsor, shall be contin-
ued even at the cost of an expose Of
the mothers relations during the last
few years with the man who has posed
as her husband. but to whom she has
never been married.
1t developed to-day, as a sequel to
the mothers attempt to recover Esther,
her daughter, that although she has
resided with Joel Agee at 1240 AJlston
way for years as his wife the only GER
emony that united them was a hand
shake, given by each at a time when
Agee had interfered to prevent Van
VelsOr from abusing the woman At
that time Mrs" Agee admits,
Van Velsor left her and she
and Agee decided that fate had
thrown them together and they
would not be separated, even though the
Divorce Court had not freed the woman
from her husband. Jesse Van Velsor.
Esther Van Velsor, the little girl, was
at that time given TO Mrs. E. Steele of
Peralta Park to care for and it was
from Mrs. Steeles home that the girl
disappeared last week. The mother at
once asked the police to help her find
Miss Esther and declared her belief
that Van Velsor, the father. had kid
naped the girl.
The aftermath of this accusation was
the revelation to-day of Mrs. Van Vel
sor's life as mother and wife, which is
understood to be the ground upon
which Mrs. Steele, who admits sending
the child away to keep it from the
mother, iustifies her action.
