REMARKABLE MATRIMONIAL
VENTURE REVEALED IN AR
REST or WOMAN WHO PLAY.
ED FOXY GAME.

3 OAKLAND, Cal, Oct. 12.---With
the arrest of Mrs. w. r. Hayner.
alias Mrs. Edmund Thiele, here to-
day on charge Of bigamy, there is
revealed one Of the most remark
able stories sof matrimonial adj
venture Gt record reaching the
climax when the two I. husbands
bunked together and No 1 sent No.
to Portland, Ore, to decoy his
wife within the reach of the court.
&; A little more than a week ago
Edmund Thiele, who is a well-to-do
druggist of Crockett, Contra Costa
county, went to Portland and found
his wife" BY promises of fipery
and jewels he induced her to re-
turn with him to Oakland and they
went to the Alta Vista apartments.
The number one, William r. Hay
ner, was summoned by No. 2, and 1t
is said that the two husbands held
the woman virtual prisoner for
several days while they prepared
the evidence which resulted in her
arrest today.
Takes Number Two
The woman's maiden name was
May Ferguson and .she was mar
ried to Hayner 20 years ago in JEFF
fersOn county, Iowa. They lived
until a year ago in Denver. Then
Mrs. Hayner suddenly departed
westward, bringing her 17-year-old
daughter with her. Just 81 years
old and very pretty. she soon made
friends and last spring she met
Thiele. On June of this year she
and Thiele and her daughter went
to San Rafael and they were mar
ried.
Thiele and his bride started on
their honeymoon trip and got as
far as Portland, Ore, when, Thiele
alleges, the woman began work,
ing him for money, with which she
bought jewelry and finery. He
says she told him that her mother
was III in Denver and finally in
duced him to give her enough
money to go to that city.
Third Man Looms Up
y Thiele alleges that he paid her
expenses to Denver and came back
home to look after his business.
He charges that instead of visiting
her mother" she went to Denver
and met the third man in the story.
With this man, he charges, she
went back to Portland instead of
returning to California.
When she remained SO long In
Denver Thiele became suspicious.
She had told Thiele that she was
divorced and he set about finding
his predecessor. He learned that
Hayner had come to San Francisco
and when they met Hayner said
that he was seeking his wife, who
had deserted him. Then the COM
plicated story began to unfold It,
eelf
"Their" Wife Caught
The two husbands joined forces
and learned that their" wife was
in Portland, so they allege, with
another man. Thiele, being the
latest in her affections, was de-
tailed to go to Portland and lure
her back to this state. He had
some difficulty, he says. but by APP
pealing to the woman's love for

1t is impossible to imagine the sensations

one. The night was SO dark that one
could not see ten feet. and had the girl

whether 4 could have found her. We
lost sight of the burning steamer soon
after we passed the first turn in the river
but it was hours and hours before the
red glow on the horizon faded from our
vision. About 4 o'clock the girl became
hysterical after the horrible experiences
of the night and laughed and cried like

Naturally. I didn't waste much time
with the wheel after that. I had girl
