younger Mrs, Burns disappeared the
son and his stepmothcr have been
searching for them, but without sue

Pittsburg, but the police of that city
have been unable to find them.
Peace had reigned in the Bunns
household until the advent of the
younger Mrs. Burns. She was very
attractive woman. and several times
the son returned home from work at
the coke ovens to find his wife and
| father tete-a-tete. AT rising time In

Ing the elder Burns and the attractive
wife of the son could not be found.
While the husband and wife had slept
the two had crawled down. ladder

Mr.. Burns and his stepmother have
taken the affair philosophically. but the
townspeople had not recovered from

and attempted grand larceny.
Albert had been at work at the homo
of Raymond b. Carver. at 16 East
Thirty-ninth street. In the course Of
the day Mr.. Carver made out several
checks for his mothcr-.n-law, Mrs. L.
Bots, of 20 East Twenty-eishth Street.
The amount on one check was wrong,
and MT. Carver wrote out another one,
leaving the faulty check on u table.
This check Albert Is accused of taking,
and. by using IL as model, of forging
Mrs. Boiss name to a check for S72,
payable to himself. Such check was
presented by Albert at the Mutual
Eank. The indors<ment was faulty,
and the cashier, becoming suspicious,
telephoned to Mr.. Carver's home.
Mrs. Carver, who was the only one
of the family there at the time. sped to
the bank in her automobile. When Al
bert saw Mrs. Carver step from her
motor car in from. of the bank he ran
out another door and jumped on a car.
Complaint was made to the West Thir-

the afternoon Albert was arrested at
