Wife Causes Arrest Of James Heskett
i'm Kansas City ROOming House.

Kansas City, March 5.-In the
hopes of revenging herself on her
husband. who. she said. had de-
serted her about two years ago. Mrs.
James w. Heskett of Wichita, Kan,
arrived in Kansas City and through
the aid of James Oxford a city de-
tective found her alleged husband
with another woman at the Peristyle
apartments at Ninth and Charlotte
streets.
She saw both arrested and locked
up at police headquarters. At the
time of their marriage, ten years ago,
Heskett's father was the sheriff of
Sumner county, and he was his chief
deputy. At the time of the alleged
desertion he sold his house and, the
woman says, left his wife and child
only $500. Until his arrest, the two
had never met, nor had she received
q word from him.
Yes, I want to prosecute them
both.'' said Mrs. Heskett She is a
small woman, with bright blue eyes
and blonde hair. The blue eyes

my six year old daughter had the

L. L. Gayer of Mcpherson Ii
Found in BaIiss, Illinois.
Was Wandering Around the
Streets in Demented State.
TO BE BROUGHT BACK.
A Brother Has Left to Take
Charge of Demented Man.
Had Been Showing Symptoms OF
Insanity for Sometime.

Mcpherson, Kan, March 5--Word re-
ceived here this morning from Baliss'
I'LL, solves a mystery of several days
standing, in regard to the sudden dis
appearance of L. L. Gayer of this place
Several days ago a message from the
sheriff of Baliss was received here. say
ing that L. L. Gayer has been arrested
and was in a demented condition. HIS
brother, Henry Gayer, went at once
and found that his brother was insane
and wired home today that he would
care for him.
About ten days ago the Gayer family
left for a visit with relatives in Larned
and Great Bend and it was supposed
that Gayer had gone with the famlly'
but a few days later it was learned that
he did not. but his whereabouts was un-
known. For several days no trace OF
him was found. but was later learned
that he had taken sudden notion 20
go east for a visit with relatives In IL
linois. He formerly lived in that state
near Baliss. For some reason or Oti1er
the family did not wish it generally
known that Gayer did not accompany
them on the trip west. As both left at
night, the fact that Gayer did not ac-
company the family was not generally
known for several days.
The telegram received from Baliss a
few days ago was the first knowledge
that his brother had received of the
destination. He left at once,
It seems that Gayer in Baliss became
demented and that the stories he told
finally resulted in his arrest by the Of
1cials. His first story was that he had
fed from Kansas on account of some
debts he was unable to pay, and for
which the officers were pursuing him.
Later he said that some one in McPher-
son was trying to kill him. He also
talked freely of family troubles, none
of which, however. ever existed. When
taken up by. the officers he was without
money. although he was we'll provided
when he left home. This may have in
measure accounted for his sudden de-
rangement. He was well dressed, how
ever, and otherwise seemed to be in
good health. At times, however, it was
said that he grew violent.
His brother and neighbors in McPher-
son, have noticed that he was not right
for some time. but all attributed it to
childishness due to i'll health, as he
had been suffering for several weeks.
To the neighbors he has seemed to be
growing weaker all of the time. but 10
the immediate members of the family
who have been with him all the time.
his condition did not seem to he no
ticed.
1t is probable that Gayer will be
brought home by his brother within a
few days, and if his condition does not
improve that he will be placed in a
private Sanitarium.
