The Washington herald., 1911-09-13

loved her as much as 1 did when 1
married her. and I always believed that
she was just as fond of me.
About threa weeks ago there began
to come to me stories that Mrs. Suydam
was spending much time with young
Noble, but never dreamed that Louise
might be interested in him. l kept these
stories to myself until last Tuesday night;
then I said to Mrs. Suydam:
Louise. dear. I've heard that you are
very fond of young Fred Noble
I must be frank, Walter she said,
and tell you 1 mean that 1 care more
for Fred Noble than do for you. You
have been sweet and good to me. and
have given me a happy life and a happy
home; but ! love him more than l love
YOU
Loved the "Other Man"
81 don't know what to think or what
to do. Louise I said.
She replied: I think We had best
separate. If I love Fred more than
love you. It is not right that l should
go on living with YOU as your wife. I had
best go away.
Il told ner. then, yes. maybe so. Per
haps you are right
"On Wednesday night last-I was away
from the house-she had her maid pack
up her belongings. and when l returned
she had gone. She had taken my rail-
road mileage ticket to ride to New York.
Next morning the ticket came back to
me in an envelope she had addressed.
but without any message. That was the
last I heard of her.
II was not surprised A day or so later
to learn that young Noble also had left
Blue Point on Wednesday night. Whether
they Travelled on the same train or what
they did after reaching New York, l
do not know. 1t was an awfully cruel
awakening from a long, pleasant dream.
But what can I do about it?'
The interviewer inquired II Mr.. Suydam
proposed taking any legal action.
Il will not say what my wife told me
as to her actions-whether she admitted
anything serious or whether she denied
that her afrair was a grave one. l will
not for a moment impugne her integrity.
will say not a word against her.
May Take LegnI Action.
But I must confess that have made
a view of deciding whether to take legal
action that will allow us to go our
separate ways"
Throughout the interview, Mr.. Suydam,
who is just thirty years old. was frank
bred gentleman narrating u painful story
and keeping whatever feelings he may
have had we'll in leash.
At the Noble home. about half mile
away, the father of the missing youth
was first found. He is Harry NJ. Noble,
a master plumber.
Il don't know where Fred is and there
isn't anything l can say about his af-
fairs" the elder Noble declared.
The marriage OF Walter Iispenard Suy-
dam. jr.. and Louise Lawrence White at
traCted a great deal of attention when
II was performed in the Church of the
Heavenly Rest in this city. on June 10.
