Hau'uy. ''oo SH'" W. " 'e''
San Francisco, Cal, April 15-Po-
lice hele today arrested woman who
is said 70 be the fugative wife Of DR..
J. w. Rhames, physician OF Spar
tanburg, S. G. She has been working
in department store and supporting
been searching for her for Is months
He claimed she eloped with an affinity
and he wants her exeraditea on
cnarge of adultery. She claims she
left home alone because of her hus.
bands intolerable cruelty. She is
pretty and only % years old. The
police can fl.d no proof that she came
here with any man. They believe her
story.
DR.. and Mrs. J. w. Reames lived
in Spartanburg about two years
ago at Mrs. Bomar's boarding house,
No. ...314 East Main street. DR.. Reames
was employed az a pharmacists at
Whittington's drug store. She went
to Hendersonville, n. c., during the
summer, and later the news came to
Spsrtanburg that she had eloped. j.
Rogers McCaslsn, who also lived at
Mrs. Bomar's boarding house, disap-
pesred from Spsrtanburg at the same
time and his name was linked with
that of Mrs. Reames, although she
had professed an aversion for him.
He was employed for a time as a
clerk in Willipgham's grocery store
ana later was an agent for the Pru-
Dental Life Insurance company.
The news of his wife's fight almost
crushco DR.. Reames. She had taken
her l,ctle boy with her, and he made
a vigorous search for her in an effort
to recover the child.
Vague reports reached spartanburg
from time to time that Mrs. Reames
had been located, but DR.. Reames
apparently was unsuccessful IN his
search, as he recently employed de-
tectives to assist him. he is said to
have exhausted all his resources IN
the search. He left Spartanburg some
time ago and is said to have been en-
ployed recently as drug CLERK IN
Winston Salem, n. G.. ..
Spartanburg people who know Dr.
and Mrs. Reames said last night that
her statement that he was intolerably
cruel to her was incredible.
Mrs. Reames' family are said to
live in Newberry cs unity. 1t is re-.
ported that they have received letters
from her from time to time, but that
they have been mailed on trains and
afforded no clue to here whereabouts.
She is said to own considerable prop
erty in her own right.
Word was received here yesterday
by policeman, whose name could
not be learned, that Mrs. Reames had,
been arrested in San Francisco. From
the same source came the report that
DR.. Reames had arranged with Gov
ernor Blease to ask for Mrs. Reames'
extradition.
The first news of Mrs. Reames'
arrest came to The Herald in tele-
gram from New York and it was sup
posed she had been arrested there.
Later the foregoing telegram from
San Francisco was received.
