RECONCILIATION IN
DISCRETION CASE
NOT IMPOSSIBLE
Bride May Forgive Her Erring
Husband if He Promises New
er to Run Away and Leave
Her Again.

A resolution on the part of the bride
to forget and forgive and a solemn
promise by the groom to never do it,
or anything like il, again, may be
the elimination OF the somewhat
tragic events which t%ransplred with
in the last few days in the brief mar
ried life of Mr.. and Mrs. Lon Il.
Gamble, a narrative Of some of which
events appeared in the Morning Jour
nal yesterday.
Briefly, the narrative was that Mr..
and Mrs. Gamble arrived in Albu-
uueruue Friday night from Trinidad,
Colo, where they had been married a
week ago. The bride was Miss Cecil
Clark, a daughter of John l.. Clark, of
Abilene, Texas. She was in school
at Sherman, Texas, when Gamble, who
was a railroad clerk in Henrietta.
Okla. induced her to run away and
be married to him In Trinidad.
Arrived in Albuquerque Friday
night, Gamble deserted his bride of
a few days. going west with seven
hundred dollars OF her money, and
leaving the girl stranded in this city.
Gamble was captured in a freight
car at Grants, ninety-eight miles west
of here. late Friday night. by Spe-
ciaI Santa Fe Detective Green. Cap
tain Green arrived with Gamble yes
terday morning and placed him In the
county Jail. Before reaching Albu-
uuerque, Gamble turned owe seven
one hundred dollar bills TO Captain
Green and the money was put away
in the safe at the Alvarado hotel yes
terday for safe keeping, Mrs. Gamble
being a guest at the hotel.
The Christmas spirit pervaded all
Albuquerque yesterday, and the bride
evidently thought of her husband as
he naced restlessly up and down with
in the narrow confines of a steel cell
in the Bernalillo county jail. am
ble's brother arrived yesterday from
Trinidad and held an extended con-
ference with his newly acquired sis
ter-in-law. Whether he prevailed
the girl not to prosecute her hus-
band on a charge of desertion Is not
known.
II will be up to Mrs. Gamble today
to say whether or not the territory
will undertake to prosecute the man.
1t MAY be possible that she win agree
to forget and forgive II the young
man swears that from henceforward
forever more he will follow the
straight and narrow path and not
bulge attraction of an inch therefrom.
Mrs. Gamble spent Christmas day
Yesterday in a more amiahle frame OF
mind than she did Christmas eve.
With her husband safe in the county
TAIL. she at least knew that he had
not been killed by a freight train or
shot by a dead shot deputy sheriff in
the wild and woody country west OF
Albuquerque. j.
There is a possibility, however. that
the settlement of the trouble will not
rely solely and entirely upon Mrs
Gamble. 1t is understood that her
papa, John L. CLARK. of Abilene,
Texas, a true Texan from the drop
of the hat, viii arrive in Albuquerque
tonight to find out Just what his
daughter is and has been doing since
she left college at sherman. Whether
Mr.. Clark will inject new features in
to the situation will not be known
until after his arrival. But that he
viii do something is certain.
And IL is quite likely that Gamble
win BIT held In the county bastile until
after Mr.. Clark reaches the city ana
has the matter explained to him IN It's
entirety,
