The story of Mrs. Meyers elope-
ment with two men. Dan Roache and
Jim Dunfeld of Colusa. and woman
whose name has been kept secret,
IS something on the order of the
Diggs- -Caminetti affair. Only in the
Meyer case the women seem to be the
ringleaders.
1t. was four days ago that Meyer,
who is a wealthy Englishman, came
to San Francisco to meet his wife,
bride of six months. She had pre-
ceded him to enjoy a brief vacation"
Meyer inquired for his wife at the
address she had given. She was not
there, and the landlady said she had
NOT :been there for several days.
The husband, trembling. as he ad-
mitted. turned to private detectives
: 3or aid. Walking down Powell street,
Meyer and the sleuths saw the woman
+: and. her party leaving a restaurant.
He stopped her and asked for an ex-
: planation.
'Oh. I will see you tomorrow or
tome other day." she called to him
as the party jumped into a taxicab
ana were whirled away.
ride US fast the men told the
driver. whose license has been sus-
Tpended for his part in the affair.
Meyer and Detective Jim" Cal
Iagher gave chase. but failed to catch
the elepers. Incidentally, Gallagher's
machine was partially wrecked and
he. was injured.
After two more days spent in the
iobby.of the ST. Francis. during which
time he was almost completely pros
trated and his friends feared for his
life, Meyer gave up detectives and
engaged Griffin and Rosenstirn, attor-
neys.-

arrest on a serious charge. Through
the. newspapers Roche learned the
course events were taking and he
suggested that the party break up,
each going in an opposite direction.

letters and followed the woman to
