Missing from her home in Melrose, x. Y, since July 3, with her two chil- dren, seven years and 16 months old, Mrs. John Humphrey was discovered by the police living in furnished rooms at $40 State street here, late yester- day.
 With her, besides the children, was Edward Deyette, for whom the police of Melrose, N. Y, have been searchin 2 for several weeks, to answer to the charge of grand larceny. Behind the arrest of Deyette is the story of a broken home, and of the perfidy of a wife who longed for the excitement of life in a city instead of the peaceful quietude of her own farm home
 Mrs. Humphreys husband is a we'll to-do farmer of Rensellaer county, with a broad eXpanse of 200 acres. The income from his farm made his family independent. About a year ago Ed ward Deyette, an electrician formerly employed on the Hudson River road, secured work on the Humphrey farm. He was treated like one of the family Broken in health he sought to regain his former robust constitution by the healthful invigorating work on the farm
 Humphrey suspected nothing until on July 3 returning from a visit to q neighboring farm he found his wife and children gone, and Deyette also missing. Part of the more valuable furnishing of the house were also miss-

No com munication passed between her and her relatives who lost track of her wherea bouts. She was not forgotten, however, and when her uncle died re- gently he made her the heir to $2O0, ,00O..
 For time it seemed that this hand some fortune would go begging. Mrs. Baldwin was not aware of her uncle's death, and on the other hand the exe- cutOrs of the will could not locate her, and were not even sure that she was alive.
 Relatives finally heard that she was living in this vicinity. An advertise ment was inserted in the papers. Mrs. Baldwin did not see it, but the eyes of some of her friends fell on the ad- vertisement and she was told about it. Now she is taking the legal steps to prove her claims on the estate.

 Dock fronts were damned with crowds who cheered the daring avia- tor to the limit and the whistle valves of every craft on the river were tied down, making pandemonium as ile steered direct for the upper bay, the end of his flight.
 It was originally suggested by Att wood that he would try to follow the line of Broadway but he later decid- ed this would be fOolhardy and he kept his machine on an even keel df- rectly over the Hudson river and at an altitude of about 175 feet.
