AFFINITY TROUBLES
Wife Ambushed Married Lothario and
He Was Jailed


New York, Aug. 25-William M.
Carley, "a merchant of Omaha" as
he described himself, halted his auto
mobile, q red runabout, at Tenth
street and Fourth avenue yesterday.
Detectives Flood and Fitzsimmons Of
the district attorneys Office approach
ed Carley and told him he was under
arrest.
What for?" he asked, much sur
prised.
For overspeeding."
Nonsense" exclaimed Carley. 81
was not going four miles an hour"
Your wife claims you've been GO
Ing entirely too fast" said Flood, and
added seriously, there's warrant
she got charging you with desertion."
Mrs. Carley had made an appoint
ment with her husband at that place
and when he arrived she pointed him
out to the detectives.
Carley Deserted Her
Mrs. Carley, about thirty years old,
lived until recently with her FOSTER
mother, Mrs. Mary Hogan at an apart
ment house which Mrs. Hogan owns.
She lives with her mother-in-law now.
She has three children, a boy and
two girls; the younger girl was born
a month after her husband left her.
She charges that Carley, whom she
married some fifteen years ago, de-
serted her in June, 1905 and left their
home with Miss Gussie Solomon, for
merly a teacher in the public schools.
Miss Solomon went to Chicago, where
they found employment in Marshall
Field and company's big store.
The wife, being left destitute, went
to work In a local department store.
While Miss Solomon was in Chica-
go she inherited about $4,000. Then,
according to Mrs. Carley, her husband
and the woman with whom he is in
fatuated, went to DesMoines, opened
v cloak Init and millinery business
l and q ..snrnspered greatly. Then they
went 20 Omaha. Recently Carley,
who was we'll known In the retail
dry goods business here, has con-
tributed to the support of his chill
dren, their mother says, but has re-
fused to maintain his wife and the
youngest child. Mrs. Carley heard
her husband had come east and was
at an Asbury Park hotel, so she got
q warrant for his arrest from Magis-
trate Corrigan in the west side court
and took 1t to the district attorneys
Office. The detectives have the idea
that the Gerry society here and the
similar society in DesMoines helped
Mrs. Carley to keep track Of her
husband
The detectives took him in his auto
to police headquarters. He said there
that he had divorced Mrs. Carley,
