love and forgiving all the wrongs he
had caused her. she promised to go.
In PittsbUrg there came a repetition
of the first DAYS of their married life
In England. After a few weeks of sup
posed happiness Milburn's true nature
showed itself and his wifes sorrows
began to multiply even more rapidly
than before. He disappeared for days
at time and Mrs. Milburn was forced
to support her child and herself by
her own efforts. Then he became
abusive until one day the cord that
bound the heartsore woman to the
man broke
She brought about Milburn's arrest.
He was convicted of abusing his wife
and failure to support herself and
child, and was sentenced by Judge
Ford to four months in the Allegheny
county workhouse.
Friendless and homeless, the wom-
an and child returned to Cleveland
he
came directly here and located her In
apartments on Woodland avenue near
East Fifty-ffth street. He came at
night and in an ugly mood. With
drawn revolver he threatened the lives
of mother and child unless they re-
turned to him. Bravely she stood her
ground until his rage grew to such
proportions that it seemed probable
that he would carry his threat into
execution. Then she called the police.
whereupon Milburn withdrew, threat
ening vengeance.
Strain of Years Too Great.
The day following Mrs. Milburn
went to Il hospital. The strain of years
had been too much for her and she lay
for weeks between life and death.
When she recovered she instituted
proceedings for a divorce which was
granted a few weeks ago in Judge
Vickerys court. Milburn could not be
found and did not appear at the trial.
Among other things, the evidence
brought out the fact that Milburn had
five wives living in the United States.
Milburn was once convicted of
burglary and sentenced to a long term
in the penitentiary by Pennsylvania
court, only to escape because Of a
technical defect in the indictment.
With no apparent means of support he
was always supplied with money and
IL was rare indeed that a crime could
be fastened upon him. He was known
to the police as a criminal yet prove
, him guilty of any specified offense
they could not.
Mrs. Milburn now lives on a little
farm few miles east of Wellington,
