Hin Evadc Claims OF His Former wife.
The wife Of James W. Stanley, manager
OF the Brown OF Harvard" show. got a
divorce from him six years Ago., and since
then Nrs. Stanley has been waiting for
years to find James 30 h~lcratively employed
that b could collect from him the alimony
awarded her by the divorce decree.
h guessed that the time had about
com when she heardrtha he was manager
OF the play 20 at the Majestic Theatre.
80 she got ron Justice Beta, In the Supreme
Court at Kingston, an order directing the
Sheriff OF Ulster county to lay n James
William Stanley by the heels forthwith
and lodge him In the Ulster county jail till
he had paid arrears Of alimony amounting
to 81, 4S5.
Isaac Carman, six feet tall and broad in
proportion, undertook the job az deputy
sheriff, and on Thursday evening he in
quired for Stanley at the Majestic. The
alimonist was rather taken aback when
Carman showed him Justice Betts's order,
but he went along ~peaceably enough after
explanations. As a matter Of fact, Stanley's
surprise was due to the fact that he had
suspected just such a move, and had got
his lawyers, May d Jacobson, to work to
defeat the ex-Mrs. Stanley's plans.
Lawyer Jacobson was on the track Of
Carman, and though he got an order from
Justice Chester In Albany staying the
alimony proceedings pending a reargu-
ment, he was many miles away from Column
bus Circle as Carlnan and his prize marched
down the broad white way.
But jacobson had a sleuth trailing Stan
ley, and when the lawyer jumped of the
Albany train and rushed to the telephone
he was appraised that Carman and Stan
ley were on their way to Weehawken, il
they had not already caught a train for
Kingston. jacobson hustled into an cleo
trio cab and sped for Meehawken. II was
two hours after midnight when he got
there, but he found Carman and the
theatrical manager, in no unfriendly mood,
waiting in the station.
Stanley had made Carman's enforced
absence from Ulster count comfortable
in the bare hope that jacobson might
arrive before the last possible train. But
when Jacobson told the deputy to release
his prisoner, pointing out that on Jersey
soil the order Of Justice Belts was useless.
Carman announced his determination to
carry the prisoner To Kingston regardless
of State rights or any other impediment.
Then, maybe yoU'll obey thisy" nsied
Jacobson, flashing the restraining order
VI JUSTICE CnthueT,
Carman studied the paper, upsides and
do~wnsides, n scratched his head a few
times.
Maybe I'll obey il, and maybe I won't"
he answered enigmatically, but | do know
this, that I'm going 10 stay with this here
actor fellow. though he's a good one at
that, till | hear from Kingston"
Stanley looked panied at being classed
with his employees, but reGained COmpos-
IRE a. he heard his hCspit Rlitv fnttcred.
Ell tell You what you do, DID boy" said
he. nudging the denuty's ribs, come on
up TO nv fiat and I'll put You up for The
night. Then We can settle things in the
morning"
Carman's face Frightened at this pros
pect, but before he agreed he remarked
that it would be his duty to sleep with his
prisoner.
Il can't take no chances on losing you,
Mr.. Stanley he explained apologetically.
That's all right, " ssid st nley cheer
fully. I've got a big double bed and
you're welcome to half of it,"
as il up against the WALL" asked Car
man,
-Hm-m-m. yes,-that is, ] think it is
replied Stanley. somewhat hesitatingIy.
WAL, minenl nave to be the outside
half" was the sheriT's final word.
You're on" said Stanley. and the three,
lawyer, client and sheriff, made their way
back to this side Of the river. Stanley and
CRrman showed up in Justice Davis's part
Of the Supreme Court yesterday morning,
in answer to a habeaS corpus writ sued out
by Jacobson while the two others slept
When Justice Davis ruled hat Carman had
no right TO hold the manager. under Justice
Chester's order, they shook hands regret
fully and expressed a mutual hope that
they would meet again sorne time.
