Left FriendIesS and PennileSS
to Starve in England.


LIVERPOOL, July 12.-Ill, practi-
Cally penniless, dependent on the
charity of an humble Liverpool shop
keeper, Mrs Charles Nelson Bell, wife
of the wealthy wine agent of New
York who married Adele Richie, the
musical comedy star. a few weeks
ago, to-day told a pitiful story of how
she had been left friendless in Eng
land to starve by her husband. She
further declared that he had never
obtained q divorce and asserted that
she would not rest until she had
raised enough money to return to the
United States and prosecute him for
the bigamy she declares he is guilty
Of
Bell. the son Of banker of Asbury
Park, and Adele Richie were married
quietly a few weeks ago At the time
of the nuptials Miss Richie an
! nounced that she was marrying for
money and her husband knew it.
Mrs. Bell says she was served with
notice of divorce proceedings, but
| they were withdrawn after she had
refused an offer of $3.50 to let the suit
go uncontested.
such a proposal was a degrading
insult" said Mrs. Bell, who wept as
she told of her plight. Starvation
is agony, but I would rather starve
to death a hundred times than to sell
my good name, my reputation.
Next l heard of my husbands
marriage to Adele Ritchie-to her, of
all women. l might have forgiven
his cruelty, but now l shall punish
him as he deserves, if there be jus
tice left in America-if law against
| bigamy exists there still.

suburb of Liverpool. She was once
model for Charles Dana Gibson.

Monday and appears to be a good one.
Miss Constance Gustafson, the sewing
teacher, does not intend to have it
used by the class until after the holt

finished their aprons, and she wants
them to make at least ane garment by
hand before they take up machine
sewing. More machines will be added
as the need grows. All the class are
satisfied with the plan as 1t will give
