DRIVEN TO EXILE
BY GOD OF LOVE
LIFE OF KINGSLEY SPOILED BY
ANCIENT LAW.
Could Not Marry His Second Love, the
Sister of His Dead Wife, and Left in
Despair for America-His Dead Body
Found by the Railroad Track in Iowa.

g Shelby, Iowa, May 2Y.-strange and romantic
is the story revealed by a diary found on the
body of a man, horribly mutilated alongside the
track eight miles north of Shelby. According
to the diary the dead man was William Kings
ley grandson of Rev. Charles Kingsley, the
English author. He was apparently about 35 and
neatly but roughly clothed. Besides the diary
several letters bearing an English postmark
carried a valuable gold watch of ancient make
and bearing the monogram Of the man whose de-
scendant he claimed to be.
The diary--or rather journal, for the dates
the man had become practically an outcast be-
cause of an old English law which forbids man
to marry his deceased wife's sister. 1t seems
that Kingsley, if such was his name, married
ter Of a Scottish duke; that in the ensuing
year the wife died. leaving an infant daughter.
Gould Not Marry Second Love.
The daughter was taken in charge by Doro-
thy Hamilton, older sister Of Kingsley's wife,
who also took charge Of the establishment which
the married couple had maintained. Kingsley,
in the course Of time came to love Dorothy
Hamilton and wished to marry her.
Here the law against such alliances inter
yened and Kingsley sought, thru the assistance
Of powerful friends to have law passed by the
parliament which would permit him to wed the
woman he loved, and who returned his affection.
The bill was introduced in the house Of com.
trouble. But like numerous of its predecessors
for the question has been before the parliament
for numberless years-the house of lords reject
ed the measure passed by the popular body.
Proposed an Elopement. 49,.
Then. according to the diary, Kingsley sought
but failed to induce his sister-in-law to elopt
with him to America where they might BIZ
united in marriage.
After making other effort to overcome thu
| conditions which prevented his marriage, he lef
his child in charge of Dorothy Hamilton ant
came to the United States.
The journal for the next few years is a RECORD
| Of his wandcrngs.
The letters which were found on his deat
| body were in a feminine hand, and tho unsigned
| apparently were written by the woman he loved
They breathed the purest affection and counselet
| patience on his. part and held out the hope tina
eventually all things would be righted.
Had Worked in St. Paul.
According to the recent entries in the diary
| kingsley last worked In department store II
| st. Paul as a porter. He had been discharged
for drunkenness and had determined to 20 t
st. Louis The supposition is that while steal
| Ing ride on a freight train he was eitnc
thrown or fell from the cars and been crushe
| to death. ;
