GIRL STUDIES LAW TO
PROSECUTE HER FATHER
Man Who Deserted Family Is Pursued
BY Daughter for Years and
Causes His Arrest.


Muskogee, Okla. = william Sperry.
alas William Fl. Pound, aged sew
enty years. is under arrest on a
statutory charge made by his own
daughter. The young woman expects
TO graduate socn as a lawyer from a
Washington. ID. c., college and hopes
TO prosecute the case against her aged
parent
The father and daughter met face
to face here for the first time in
thirty-one years. Thirty-one years ago
in what was then Wyandotte. now
part OF Kansas City. according to the
daughters story, Sperry deserted her
mother and four small children and
ran away with another woman, a for
mer servant in the family.
Sperry was not seen or heard from
by his wife or children for thirty
years. The woman with whom he
went away, died within yaar. Then
he married again. Fifteen years ago
Sperry came to Tulsa. Okla. He
changed his name to william Pound.
He has two children by his last mar
riage.
In 1900 Margaret Hopkins Sperry,
an employs il the department of com
merce and labor at Washington, got
a special bill through congress allow
ing her mother a pension. Sperry
was an old soldier. II was this pen
sion that makes the daughter more
vi1dictive. Two years ago anonymous
letters were written to the pension
department stating that Mrs. Sperry's
husband was living and that under
such circumstances she was not en-
titled to the money. The department
started an investigation which re-
vealed the whereabouts of Sperry.
The deserted woman's pension of SIS
per month was cut off.
It was her only support. When the
daughter learned this she Immediately
set out on the trail of her father.
Sperry was taken to Tulsa and will
be given a preliminary hearing there.
His daughter asked the authorities to
postpone the trial until she can appear
as full-fiedged lawyer to prosecute
her father.
