prints the following:
81 will take my wife back on her
promise to be true and faithful in the
future" stated Simon Simolas of Mo
line, ILL.,, after a long talk with her IN
the county Jail this morning, but l
will not forgive Joe Glomba, who got
her to leave me. l will remain In
Butte as long as it is necessary to see
him convicted of illegal cohabitation
and sent to the penitentiary for long
term. He is the cause Of all my trou-
bIes, and my wife would never have
run away but for his influence, which
was bad one.
This fellow Glomba Is a bad man
all through. He has a wife now in
Philadelphia, whom he deserted and
left to support herself. After going
from Moline. ILL.,, to Omaha, he wrote
frequently to my wife and also tele-
phoned her, inducing her to quit my
home. He finally got Nellie Kosnofsky
to help him, and at last the two wo-
men went to Rock Island, ILL.,, to meet
Glomba, where they talked matters
over, and the women carried out his
plans in detail. He told them to take
all the money and jewelry they could
get and come right back to Rock Is
land, where he would be waiting for
them.
Going In Saloon Business.
"The poor fools did this, and then
all three went to Omaha, where they
stayed two days; proceeded to Salt
Lake, where a stop Of four days was
made, and finally came to Butte. They
had been here two weeks, and Glomba
was preparing to go into the saloon
business with the money the women
had stolen, when the sheriff's office
located them and put them in jail.
Nellie Kosnofsky also had a man
when she started west, but he left
Butte shortly after their arrival and
went to Seattle to look for a location
for a saloon business. The last heard
of him he had started for San Fran
cisco, and will not come back.
''My wife had $3.50 when she ran
away from me, and she gave Glomba
$500 since that time, and had $3.50
when she reached this city. Now she
has but $3.50, and think Glomba stole
about $500 from her that she does not
know about. He was also wearing my
gold watch and chain, and my wife
admits giving it to him. 1t has
knights of Columbus charm, to which
order belong, and he also claimed 10
be a member Of that order, but now
admits he does not. 1 had the number
of the watch. which is 17-jewel Ham
ilton, and the number 1 gave the sher-
if corresponds with that on the watch.
He Takes Her Back.
Colombia worked for Deere & Co. in
Moline. which is the same firm 1 was
last employed by, and it was then he
became acquainted with my wife and
Nellie Kosnofsky, and 1 wish to God he
had never seen either Of them. My
wife is a good woman, and all right,
but this fellow made her go wrong.
She Is still a greenhorn, having only
been in the United States three years.
went over to the old country and
married her, and then brought her to
America. think we can get along all
right, and believe she will be true to
me in the future l am going to try it,
anyhow, but you can bet l will see
Glomba sent to the penitentiary.
''Kosnofsky is a fighting man, and
he may shoot Glomba # he ever comes
