TO GAIN CREDIT.
RECEIVES MANY APPEALS
FOR FINANCIAL AID
Alleged Second Husband in Jail
Charged With Rsamy and Records
at Mason City Fail to Show That
Woman Was Ever Married to La
than, Owner Of Alleged Fortune.

Davenport, Sept. 27.-Frank Trenary
the supposed husband of bogus 81
100000 heiress. who received great
deal Of notoriety several weeks ago by
announcing that a former husband OF
hers had died in England and left her
an estate valued at S2,000OOO and who
was confronted Saturday by another
woman who claimed to be Trenary's
real wife, has now confessed to the po-
lice that he was never married to the
second woman with whom he has been
living for the past three years.
A further revelation in the matter
was made when both Trenary and the
second woman declare that they nave
never received letter telling them of
fortune being left to them. The
woman says that she heard she was
about to fall heir to large estate over
two months before the news was made
public, but that nothing has ever come
of it since.
Trenary will be taken before the
grand jury at once and it is likely that
an Indictment, charging him either
with adultery or lewdness will be re-
turned
1t appears that the two have been
taking advantages of the story about
the millions to get credit for house
rent and to otherwise get along with
out having to pay money They former

Island street, but We're forced to move
from there because they were unable
to keep up the rent. They moved from
there to their present quarters at 762
Case street.
The real Mrs. Trenary came down
from Minneapolis Friday evening after
learning thru an anonymous letter that
her husband was not leading a true
life. Trenary admits having married
her in Dubuque seven years ago and
that they have kept up a correspond
one child by this marriage, Velma, aged
years, who Is with her mother in the
city.
Many Begging Appeals.

street, this city, are followed she and
her children will find the scattering II

One in Pennsylvania would like to
start in the grocery business, providing

old in the business, and as a Journey
man he has become somewhat unpopu-

Of genuine honesty, while others have
the coloring which has made the heiress
a little skeptioal.
