Poughkeepsie, \. Y, Jan. 5.--Albert Z.
Tower has broken the silence he has
maint+ined since the troubles with his
wife have become public through court
proceedings instituted by her for a sep
aration. In an interview to-day he
charges that Mrs. Tower and her sister
Grace persuaded him into a secret mar
riage at West Hoboken, seven weeks after
the suicide of his first wife The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Robert
Rowland, a Baptist clergyman, who was
induced to withhold the certificate.
The sisters. Mary and Grace. at this
time. declared Mr.. Tower. professed a
deep sympathy for him. and being in
state Of mind not quite normal after the
terrible tragedy that had come upon his
life. he vas pIiable.
Their Attitude Changed.
Immediately after the secret mar
riage.' he continued Il saw a difference
in the actions Of both women toward me-
They became distant and cold. and not
at all like they were previous to the
secret ceremony.
Il then thought that this was assumed
because of the agreement we made that
we were not to be anything to each other
and felt that the second and public cere-
mony, which was the one that would
stand in Jhe eyes of the public, would
bring back that sympathy and interest
in my welfare. I. naturally. was willing
when they proposed that we remarry in
January.
But I was sadly disilusloned. The
sister Grace was never out Of sight or
out of my home. She even invaded my
private apartments when I was with my
wife, and it got unbearable I should
have arisen and asserted myself long ago,
but I felt that some settlement could be
made whereby publicity would be avoided.
Hopes 10 he indicated.
II realize that in the eyes of the people
in my own home town I must be a sort
of a monster but can rest assured now
that with part of my side out I will per-
haps stand in a different light before
them"

It was not until he was arrested one
night shortly after he had come TO this
city that his identity was discovered.
Rhlnelander always goes armed. The
bows Of the neighborhood had annoyed
him and he had drawn his revolver and
had shot at them, but inflicted no harm
on any one. In the station-house he gave
his name as William c. Rhinelander and
his identity then became known. Several
times Rhinelander has been arrested for
having tried to shoot somebody who had
been annoying him. and each time he
escaped with a warning.

The class Of people with whom he is

only couple of months ago. It devel-

at his home was an eX-convict named
Ed Martin. The latter had served a term
in Dannemora for having killed a man
some years ago. Martin was said to be
calling upon a woman that lived with
Rhinelander's wife. One night Rhine

tried to shoot him. Rhinelander escaped
punishment. His present wife says she is

The days ran happily by for Esther,
so far as she remained in her own lit

Uncle Billy a short late hour every
other night when his train was in and
his reports made; joy to know that
her presence comforted Sally B., whose
heart, despite her busy life, longed for

older child who logged her footsteps,
did her errands, followed her with
meek, trustful eyes. The spell of the
desert, and her ever deferred hope of
seeing Alfred, still held Esther Gid
deon was in the town, though he kept
out of Esther's way. Sally B. met him
abruptly one day, forced a kind word
upon him and asked him of his stay;
but he evaded her with half-coherent
reply about seeing the railroad
through. She mentally substituted
Esther for the railroad, knowing it
was for chance glimpses of her ne
