500 in money and considerable
amount of valuable lace

ago, when Mary Joseph appeared in
Judge Prest's court and complained of
his beating and mistreating her. The
trouble was again patched up, but she
still wanted him 20 live with her The
couple tried to be married but she con?
fessed that she had a husband living
in Europe. and the wedding would not
be legal
About seven years ago it has been
learned that Joe Joseph wrote her to
come to America, which she did. leav-
ing a good home and husband. Since
that time the couple have lived to-
gether in cottage on Sibiey street.
Her common-law husband is known to
have cruelty mistreated her. and for
the past two months has been support
ed by her. During the day she sold
lace from house to house for a Chicago
firm and in this way made a living for
the two.
Last Tuesday he left the home taxi
ing with him 500 she had saved and
quantity of this lace. 1t was learned
that he left with another man. and
that they bought tickets for Cincinnati.

The woman appealed TO the police
and warrant was issued by Prosecut-
