SAN JOSE. Nov. s.-The action of the
United States government in re-exam-
lining the unfortunate inhabitants of
the Pacific leper home, Molokai island,
led to a dramatic situation in the home
of Manuel Freitas. wealthy Santa
Clara rancher, and exposed the fact
that he had been living for the last sew
eral years with an affinity, the mother
of three of his children.
The story dates back nearly 20 years
when Freitas and his lawful wife were
married in the Sandwich islands They
had one child and after several years of
happy wedlock the discovery was made
that MIS-. Freitas was suffering from
leprosy in a mild form. She was sent
away to MoIokai island, where those
afflicted with the disease are isolated.
Freitas decided to cast his lot with
his wife and went to visit her He soon
regretted this and too late found that
he could not leave as he had been ex-
posed for considerable length of time
to the disease. While he was prisoner
there members of the Portuguese set
tlement here received frequent letters
from him telling them of his predica-
ment.
Finally, it is said. Freitas escaped
from the island by swimming and show
ing his little child before him on d
rudely improvised raft He found his
way to Santa Clara, where he pros
pered. Later, it is alleged, he met his
