BROKE UP HIS
HAPPY HOME
Supposed Priest, il is CIaimet
is Cause of GaIIOWay'S
UnhappineSS
HUSBAND CAUGHT
PAIR In His ROOM

A domestic tragedy Of no mean proper
tlons was enacted in the furnished apart
ments Of Mr. and Mrs w. L. Galloway, at
No. sos King street yesterday afternoon.
The principals in the drama were a
priest, supposedly Of the Roman Catholic
faith, an errlng wife, her two-year-old
child and irate husband angered beyond
measure at the shame which stains his
honor.
The husband had started for his work
as conductor for the Peoples Railway
Company as was his custom when on that
turn. He left behind an apparently loving
wife and their child. He went to a barber
shop to get some work done, missed his
trip car and returned home to find sight
which upset his conjugal faith and turned
TO hate the love for his wife, for in Their
he'd room on their bed he saw what be-
token his and his child's dishonor and his
U,fe's disgrace. She preferred the en-
braces of another man stolen in her hus-
bands absence. to those Of her hardworN-
ing husband.
Locking the door behind him and plac-
ing the key in his pocket Galloway tooh
nart as principal actor in a scene to make
angels weep. The alleged priest was per
mitter to go after a time. The Wlle
penitentiai tears were of no avail TOT inc
tnstlv indignant husband said: ITS toe
late to cry now. Perhaps if you had crleo
before YOU would have been better on.
There was no defense for either Of the
guilty ones. And overcome by shame and
disheartened by his wife's inhdelity Cal
~ doing
for some tinne-tok to drink.
Later he removed his belongings from
their Apartments, notified his wife tha'
n would hunt another boarding place. H'
ed all nieht at the car barns of the
ole's Railway Company and was about
IN tender his resignation and leave the
city so much did he feel his humiliation
He was persuaded not TO do this and TO-
day is at work.

Wife Not at Home.
All INQUIRIES at the Galloway apartment
at No. COS King street this morning elicit
ed the information that Mrs. Gallowa!
was mot in"
Rumor at first connected the alleges
priest with St. Peters parish Of whici
Mrs. Galloway is a communicate but tn
father in charge there stated most EN-
phatically that the statement that pries
was in any way concerned in the matte
was untrue. He was inclined to believ
that the story was the ruse of a Protes
tant husband to get rid of a Catholi
wife with whom he was having troubl
and that undoubtedly when the matte
was sifted to the bottom the whole stor
so far as any priests being concerned in ]
would prove false.
The priests Of st. Peters parish ar
now busy in taking the annual census o
tho parish and the father thought tina
perhaps some Of the husbands friend
had seen priest on census work in tina
neighborhod and were unprinciplet
enough to place the blame on him."
Mr. Galloway will wind up his af.
fairs here and make application for Z
divorce later.
The priest to whom the finger Of sus
picion was said to point informed thu
Evening Journal that he had heard o
the rumors, had called upon Mr. Gallo
way early this morning and had beeI
assured by him that he did not re
cognize him as the offender. Mr.. Gal
loway confirmed this statement also
