ANOTHER DIVORCE TANGLE.
Wife of Watkins Took Child From
Husband No. 1-Hcnce the Trouble.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 16.-H. W. Wat
kins. assistant secretary of the Illinois
Surety company. was released from
Jail this morning at 1901 O'Clock, hav-
ing been held in Jail all day Sunday
because of a question as to the legality
of a bond offered on Sunday. Mean
while, Mrs Watkins. who was formerly
Mrs Stone wife of the complainant in
the case. sat weeping in her apart
ments in the Hotel Pfster, refusing to
be seen. After his release Mr.. Wat
kins said:
u am entirely innocent OF the
charges brought against me. Mr.. Stone
divorced his wife because of alleged
cruel treatment. Then she married
me When the divorce was granted.
Mr.. Stone secured the custody of their
child aud after the separation. Mrs.
Watkins found that the could not bear
to be separated from her babe. The
result was suit against Stone for the
custody of this child. and the only mo-
tive l can see for the suit against me
is that Mr.. Stone desires revenge on
me for the suit by Mrs. Watkins
against him.
Meanwhile, Stone declares he was
deceived by Watkins, whom he had re-
garded as one of his best friends until
after the divorce from Mrs. Stone. He
says Watkins was constantly visit
ing in his family and that he had
never thought he was to lose the love
of his wife when he allowed her to go
out to theaters with Watkins.
