SENSATIONAL
Case Has Just Come To
Light In Newark
Well Known Man Said To
Have Two Wives
One Living In Newark And
Other 10 Marion
The Case Is Being lnvaStlgat-
ed By Official
Husband Is Said To Have
Left The City
(Newark Advocate)

Developments of a sensational ma
ture have just come to light which
tend to show that well known New
ark man, while posing as the husband
of an estimable woman of this city,
is said to have a wife and two chill
dren by former marriage living in
Marion, o.
Seven years ago James r. Hoy,
aged about 4S years at that time
came to Newark from Lima and
worked at his trade, that of saw
yer, at the Wehrle stove works, the
Jewett car works and the rolling mill,
and during the past two months has
for the second time held down a po-
sition at the Wehrle factory.
Mrs. Hoy, who lives at 172 Burt
avenue, was seen by an Advocate re-
porter Wednesday. She did not seem
at all backward about telling the story
of their married lives here. She said
that her maiden name was Clara Ia
than and that something less than
three years ago she made the acquaint-
ance of James Hoy, who represented
himself to be bachelor and that
when he asked her to marry him she
did so, with the understanding that he
was a single man.
Mrs. Hoy said that Hoy made a
model husband and that nothing ever
occurred to mar their happiness un
til recently, when she learsed that he
was married man and had two chill
dren living in Marion, o. She said
that she was loath to believe the
story and finally placed the matter
in the hands of as attorney. The at
torney called on Hoy Monday night
and put the matter up to him. Mrs
Hoy said that her husband at once
acknowledged his former marriage
and the fact that his first wife and
two children were living, but he sup
posed that his wife had secured di
vorce from him. The attorney told
him that he would have to leave ant
that unless he could prove that his
former wife was divorced from him
proceedings in all probability woult
be commenced against him for bigamy
1t is understood that Mr.. Hoy has lef
town, presumably to ascertain wheth
er or not his first wife secured di
vorce from him.

THRILLING
Account OF Lieut.. Lahm'S Ride
In The Balloon
In The Big Flight For The
Bennett Cup
The Lieutenant Who Has
Been In Mt. Vernon
Tells Of His Trip To A
Mansfield Paper
Tells How He Travelled 10
The Buckeye"
(Mansfield Shield)

Lieutenant Frank p. Lahm, who par
ticipated in the international balloon
race for the James Gordon Bennett
cup trophy in the balloon Buckeye.
has returned to Mansfield accompan-
led by his future bride, Miss Gertrude
Jenner, who have been visiting in Mt.
Vernon for several rays. Lieut.. Lahm
relates a very thrilling story of his
perilous flight in the balloon accom-
panied by J. H. Wade, Jr., young
Cleveland millionaire.
Lost for hours in the darkness high
above the clouds, driven miles over
the country by terrific gale, forced
to the ground by heavy rain and
dragged through the woods and across
fences, were some of the experiences
of late last Thursday and Friday morn
ing. They finally were compelled to
land in the center of Wisconsin flood
district, near town called Millston.
They covered 1856 miles and were in
the air nine hours.
1--WE started from Kansas City at
6 O'Clock Thursday night" said Lieut..
Lahm. He said "the weather was
favorable and did not look like rain"
They went into the air about 5000 feet
until they struck northeast gale.
This is what Lieut.. Lahm wanted as
| the other balloonists were directed
northward. At 1850 o'clock they
lowered themselves below the clouds
and could see Des Moines and the Des
Moines river. At 1880 a. m. they ran
into a veritable tempest. The down
pour of rain weighed the balloon down
like lead and they were forced down
steadily, despite their throwing out
ballast.
Before we realized it, the basket
in which we were riding was crashing
through q woods and almost the next
minute it tore its way through fence
and then swung within ten feet of a
farmhouse. Our situation was ser
ious. The torrent of rain was holding
us down, while the wind was sweep
ing us onward.
! ut was now 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, as near as we could judge, and we
had been riding nine hours. Owing tc
the darkness, wind, rain and clouds
we never knew just where we we're. Il
was growing too hazardous to keer
going. Now we were swinging ovel
fields, splashing in great puddles O.
water, plowing through thick woods
or just missing striking farm build
ings.
$50 we threw out the anchor and th'
Buckeye swung to. We had anchored
In a cornfield, not far from Millston
Monroe county, Wis, in the cente
Of the flood area, and not far from tn
Black River. We took the first trail
we could get and started for home
Neither OF us was injured in tn
flight"
