STOLE W|FE'sL LOVE
w. W. Bryant, Kansas City Attor-
ney, Causes Arrest of Thos. Gray,
Manager of jerks Lumber &C.

Thomas Gray, manager OF the Rob
ert Fl. jerks Lumber Co.. which has
Offices In the Ford building, was ar.
rested, Saturday morning. on capias
sworn out by wellington w. Bryant.
a leading attorney of Kansas City. who
charges Gray with alternating the af'
fections of his wife and breaking up
his home. He asks for $4,000 dam
ages.
The story OF the affair Is told by the
husband In an affidavit ON which the
capias was issued.
He says he was married to his wife,
Grace w.. "a woman OF great personal
beauty and un5lemished reputation"
rs he describes her. on Dec. II. 1909,
and lived with her happily until after
she met Gray. He says his wife was
in the habit of spending the summers
with her parents In Three Rivers,
Mich. and with frierds In Petoskcy.
Charlevoix. Grand Rapids and Luding-
ton. Her meeting with Gray TOOK
place Sept. 8. 1907. when both were
passengers on a train going from Lud-
ington to Grand Rapids. The nus
band never learned Of the acquaint-
ance OF Gray and his wife until he
found his wife In tears over special
delivery letter. He learned In that
way that the two had been correspond
ing, and that Gray had in his posses
sion a number of letters and photo
OF Mrs. Bryant. She admitted she
had been indiscreet, the husband says.
but promised TO have no more to do
with Gray and wrote for her photo.
The husband also wrote twice, he
says. but claims that Gray did not re-
turn the photo and paid no attention
to the letters.
In the spring OF 1908 Mrs. Bryant
again visited with her parents In
Three Rivers, returning to ner home IN
Kansas City In the fall. The nus.
band says she was changed woman
after her return. neglected her home.
told him she had no love for him
and urged him to get divorce. This
he did In February, 1909 After he
started the divorce suit he says his
wife made a confession to him. in
which she admitted her wrong-doing.
Al that time she was so overwhelmed
with femorse- he-eeHteHaPlatea
suicide, her husband alleges.
Her confession told OF her second
meeting with Gray on her visit TO
Michigan in the spring OF 1908. ON
that occasion Gray told ner, the al
fidavit states, that he was manager
of the jerks Lumber Co, was IL re-
ceipt OF a salary of $4,000. and would
inherit property worth $4,000, and
had an interest in property In okla
homa. He told her OF his love for
her. fiattered her. and thus gained
her confidence, the husband says.
She said, the AFFIDAVIT states. that 1t
was represented to her that her hus-
band had been untrue TO her. She Is
alleged to have told of visits To vafi-
Gus hotels with Gray.
Bryant further alleges that on June
20. 1909, ne met Gray in Detroit and
the latter admitted his relations with
Mrs. Bryant. but said he no longer
loved her and would pot marry her.
Gray was brought into the sherif's
Office at IL O'Clock. and at once got
busy with the phone. calling mp
friends to go on his bond. which was
fixed at $4,000.
ITS just a hold-up. That's all I've
got to say" was Gray's statement.
