DOUBLE LIFE
AGED BANKER DISAPPEARS
WHEN SCANDAL ABOUT HIS
DOUBLE LIFE BECOMES
PUBLIC.
STORY READS LIKE A NOVEL

| NEW YORK, March 2S.-Banke
Thomas Kiley, who disappeared fo
lowing the publication of the scanda
concerning his double life, has no
been seen in public since. 1t was a
first feared that he had COMMITTEES
suicide, but announcement has beef
made that he is only in retirement.
A new feature of the Kiley bigam!
case is the statement that Thomas w
Kiley and William Kiley, nephew o
Banker Kiley, who have lived with hin
and their mother since the death o.
thir father, who was Kiley's brother
| fifteen years ago, had all along been il
complete ignorance of the fact thai
their uncle and mother were husband
and wife.
Sensational Story.
More like a lurid third-rate novel
than an episode of staid Brooklyn
are the matrimonial revelations OF
Banker Thomas Kiley, who, on &C
count of his many millions, his gen
erous philanthropy and his long life
among the residents at the end of the
bridge has been looked upon as a
model citizen.
The dual matrimonial existence of
this multi-millionaire is ended. His
days of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde are
over. The two women whom he mar
ried, without recourse to the divorce
courts, and who for years have lived
within a stones throw of each other,
know of the great wrong done them.
The law will take it's course.
Banker Kiley was boyishly roman
tic, The second woman he married
was the idol of his boyhood dreams.
He installed her in a fine house at
216 Brooklyn avenue.
Two blocks away lived his real
wife and her children The real wife

but she accepted the situation. That's

of the lads of her own social position
and as he grew older he loved the
dainty daughter of his employer. AS
money was the thing by which he
thought he might win her, Thomas
turned his entire attention to the
building of huge fortune. The girl
had in the meantime grown to wo-
manhood and made fashionable mar
riage with a man of the name of Colt
Twelve years ago Kiley married
his sister-in-law, his brother having
died few years previous. He bought
a magnificent house at POI Jefferson
avenue for his wife and her children,
who were his nephews and nieces.
The fortune of his former benefac-
tor in the meantime had waned. The
Brown, for whom he had
worked as boy, failed, and was glad
to secure employment with his for
mer clerk. Then the banker learned
that the sweetheart of his boyish
dream was dependent upon her faith
er and lived with him. The old ac-
quaintance was renewed, but the
banker made no mention of his wife.
Two years ago last October Banker
kiley was to participate in the Bank
er's Convention in California. His
wife was i'll at the time, i'll as he sup

February 9th next. We want to
impress on every citizen of the
county that the citizens Of the

stood then. We still propose to
build the court house without cost
to the county. We know what we
are talking about and mean Just

henovs were acting in bad faith
and were mean and dishonest
enough to mislead and deceive
the people into voting for the re-.
m oval, and then step down and
out and leave the cost of building
the court house for the taxpayers
to foot. Let us say to the Wayne
Citizen that resorting to such low
trickery in order to try to make
votes against the removal, will re.
act and show up the base deceiver
in due time; for we will convince
everyone that we mean what we
say by placing the funds, with
which the court house is to be
built, in the hands of the county
court long before the election.
Depend on this.

Bee Jay says it was some of the
removalists who burnt his bank
Does any man with an idea above a
raccoon believe that7 If il bad
been any one in favor of removal,
don't you believe he would have set
ire to tie court house? II could
have been burned just as easily.
Could be burned any time. They
never have water enough on the hill
to put fire out, and reason aud
common sense will tell you that if
1T had been a removalist he would
have stuck his torch to the court
house.
But that was not true. 1t might
have been that some warm, close
friend>of Bee jays used that torch,
without Bee jays knowledge, of
course. This friend may have found
out that Bee Jay carried a good in.
surance on the building and fixtures.
and he may have believed that the
banking busines at Wayne was not
very profitable. He may have rea
soned, too, that there were strong
indications that the court house
would be moved, and that the less
property Bee Jay had on the top oil
the mount, the better Bee Jay would
be off, and as long as Bee Jay
swims, everybody else may sink, so
far as Bee Jay cares.
Now we don't say this happened
this way, but we say the reasoning
is as good as Bee jays, that some
removalIst lit the torch.

But We teel sure that its wanton,

Wayne Citizen, the leading organ
against removal, resorts to this

"trickster" apply to it, rather
than any one else2 Now, every
body that wants the delightful
pleasure of climbing that hill and

thereby make themselves sick and

We are always friendly to pro.

Daniel Webster, maybe, or may

this confounded with Bee Jay, for
he talks, and talke, and talks all
the time, and never reaches a
point, or fact, either.
Well, the court house question
is on, and we do not know how all
of our people stand. We think it
safe to predict, however, that a
majority will be in favor of it.
Individually speaking, we have
studied the question we'll, and for
our lives we can't see any good
reason for it remaining where il

Then, everybody had to either
walk, or go horse back there were
no railroads and very few county
roads. But conditlons in this
county have changed. We have
two railroads running through the
entire length Of the county; modes
of travel have changed, people
have become accustomed to travel

calls the people in favor Of the
