His Affinity Inherits $50, 900.
While Miss Solomon was in Chicago
she inherited about $4,000. Then. ac-
cording to Mrs. Cariey, her husband

uated went to Des Moines. opened a

has contributed to the support of his
children. 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 warrant for his arrest
from Magistrate Corrigan in the West
Side court and took it to the district at
torney's Office. The detectives have the
idea that the Gerry society here and the
similar society in Des Moines 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, but
she vowed she has never been served
with any papers. Carley. who said he
locked the wheels of his auto. which
stood in the street in front of. head
quarters. until he could communicate
with friends. The detectives told the
police here that the district attorneys
office wanted forty-eight hours in which
n ma he NJ
fered for Cariey. SO he passed the night
in cell.
Mrs. Carley tried hard to separate her
husband from Miss Solomon. who for
the wife's accusations, District Superin-
tendent of Schools Edward w. Stitt. in
April, 1905. preferred charges OF gross
misconduct against Miss Solomon to the
board of education. stitt presented to the
board three statements, one from a pri-
vate detective whom Mrs. Carfey en-
ployed. who said Miss Solomon and Car
ley had been in each others society as
recently as the tenth day Of that April.
In her statement Mrs. Carley set forth:
MY husband has been keeping COM
pany for the past two years with Miss
Gussie Solomon. He visited her at her
home. I found him there. 1 said to her,
DO you know this is my husband?'
She replied, I don't know that he is
married.
Accompanied Teacher to School.
My husband used to walk to school
with her every morning. They would
walk right by my door. He would leave
me standing on the street, jump on a car
and go to see Miss Solomon. He beat me
not long ago. He and Miss Solomon have
been together to Atlantic City, Saratoga
and the Adirondacks. My husband has
had only one meal at home in two weeks.
He told me that If l would drop my COM
plaint to the board of Education he
would give me SO week."
Miss Solomon declared that Mrs. Car
ley's appearance at her home was the
first intimation she had that he was mar
ried. Her statement continued:
'Afterward he wrote to me, but l did
not answer his letter. Before 1 went tc
the Adirondacks he wrote me another
letter and then came to the house The
maid told him I would not see him. He
then wrote me that he and his wife had
separated. 1 found from a certain person
that this was true. 1 had known him
for some time and found him congenial
1 did not see him In the Adirondacks
saw him when l came back in Septem-
ber.''
In June, 1905. Miss Solomon's resigna-
ton as teacher was announced. She did
not wait for the report of the committee
