"We have never had any quarrel since
we were married at Spotswood, near Old
Bridge, IN 1S99,'' said Mr.. Kirschman,
sand if we were separated for twenty
four hours we always communicated with
each other by wire or letter. My busi-
ness takes me to differeny places and my
wife went with me. Three weeks ago
we came to Newark from Boston, where
/ was for four months installing an el&c
tric power plant. We boarded at a hotel
and made only three or four acduaint-
ances there, and my wife has very few
friends in Newark.
She had a woman friend in Harrison.
but / have learned that the latter has
moved to some place near Paterson.
shall make inquiries in Harrison first I
do not know what to make of my wife,s
disappearance. for We never quarreled:
We both worshipped Emma, our little
girl and my wife appeared to be very
happy.
"She has not been i'll and has not had
any trouble with her head
Il am nearly insane from worry about
her and the child. My wife had SO with
her when she started for Old Bridge. and
she had some money in bank here. She
drew small amount from the bank yes
