charles Trenton Says That Her
D husband Ran Away with An
other Woman To
day.
CHARGES OF DISCRETION
i. Couple Were Caught Monday at
Alexandria and Brought Back
But Are Said to Have
Gone Again.

rba happy state Of connubial bliss,
,nto which Charles Trenton and his
rife Emma, plunged eleven years ago,
vas rudely shattered today when the
wife swore to warrant asking for
the arrest OF her spouse for alleged
deseltlon.
For two weeks, alleges Mrs. Tren-
tor. the man OF her choice has been
taking more than ordinary interest in
the wife Of John H. Whiteside and
threatening to leave with her. Last
Monday the couple boarded q train
and went to Alexandria. The husband
If the woman found that they had
left and took the next train to the
village. Upcn his arrival there he
discovered them getting on the train
that he came in on and took his wife
over to one side of the platform.
Trenton followed them and Whiteside
administered severe beating to him,
cutting one Of his eyes and otherwise
disfguring him.
Since that time Trenton has made
several remarks to his wife In regard
to the affair and often. saving that he
was going to leave with the woman.
Inside Was Safest.
Yesterday he stayed in the house
nearly all day. fearing to go on the
street where he would be apt to meet
the wrathy husband OF the woman
with whom he was infatuated. During
his stay in the house he told his wife
that he was going to leave with Mrs.
Whiteside today AS he did not have
any money, she thought that he would
not be able to go and said nothing
about 1t.
She says that this morning one OF
her husbands friends went out and
borrowed some money and that the
couple would either go to Quincy or
Peoria. His friends have been urg.
ing him to leave his wife. according
to her story. For this reason she is
very much riled and would like to
have her husband locked UP for the
rest Of his life. Nothing is bad enough
for him, she declares.
While Mrs. Trenton was making the
charge against her husband, White
side. the husband of the woman in the
case, was making application to have
the children Of Mrs. Whiteside, Will
lie. Louis and Madeline, taken In
charge by the Humane society and
taken care Of. alleging that his wife
was unfit to care for them, being adj
dicted to the use of intoxicants and
OF immoral character. He alleges that
the children are left in care of one,
Ed Coop, who is person OF we'll
known dissclute habits and not At

He was very bitter against Trentor
and said that hes was willing to prose

says that about sixty people at the
STATEN in Alexandria saw the affair
on the platform there, Monday, and
would be willing to testify in his be

wife with being a person OF lax NOR

Then Connie used to lock himself In

company was eagerly sought and his

the New York club, providing the

Murphy said in part:
81 am surprised to see Bresnahans
name connected with such an enter
prise. 1t looked like a simple and
easy plan to pick up little easy
money, and, so far as | know, there
had been no opposition to 1t.
"But when they incorporate, becom-
ing a stock selling possibility, and use
the name of such men as Bresnahan

ent pennant race-the matter takes
an entirely different aspect.

haven't won the race. and | don't
think they will win it-without undue

the game against the Giants, and

hardly believe that Bresnahan would
allow himself to be drawn into a fl

depend entirely on his own team los
