of the United States Circuit Court. and lodged In
the Ludlow-st jail by United States Marshai
Henke in default Of $40 900 bail.
The process used Is rarely invoked In this olS-
trict. 1t was obtained by Charles A Hess
counsel for the Canadian Pacific Railway Com
pany. While the principal allegations against
Wenham are criminal. the process under which
he was locked up is entirely civil.
While the amount Of bail. $4,000. Is UNUSUAL
ly high. It is because the amount alleged TO
have been embezzled is said TO be S54,4IS 30
The action is brought by the raiload company

cfc Instances OF sales are given in the COM
plant. in which 1t is said the defendant en-
bezZled.
Based on these allegations a civil action was

obtained on December s. 1905. It is to recover
this sum I'm the Chicago judgment that the

the other that he sought TO verify his suspicious
through the former servants OF Mrs. Duke. Mr..
Duke declares. however that he did not have re-
course TO detectives until he had himself made dis
coNerles graVely involving Mrs. Duke He also de-
niles that any improper Influences We're used 10

Specific denlals were made by Mr.. Duke to each
OF the charges OF cruelty made by his wife and
also 10 the allegation that any improper relations
