MARRIAGE MUST HAVE BEEN
HABIT WITH Won KLEIN
E. c. G. Won Klein, cheerful man
of the world, has been identified as
the husband of still another deserted
one.
A few weeks ago Won Klein broke
into the limelight when Ethel New
combe had him arrested in the Black
stone hotel and accused him of mar
rying her in Portland, Ore, and then
beating it with few thousand dol
lars worth of her diamonds. He
then was known as Handsome
Jack" Lewis.
Last night Mrs. G. A. Temple, of
Little Rock, Ark, waited with two
detectives outside of a Wabash ave-
nue. cafe and when Won Klein came
out with three companions she
bounced on him and claimed him as
her long lost husband. Won Klein
didn't seem to welcome the joyous
meeting.
Mrs. Temple claims that he mar
ried her in Milwaukee under the
name of Weaver B. Clark" and later
blew with $4,000 worth of diamonds.
Won Klein says he can discredit
both charges.
Efforts to take Won Klein. back to
Portland to stand trial on Miss New
combe's charge have so far been
blocked by his attorney, Charles E.
Erbstein.
Meanwhile, Marrying Jack" if
that's who he is, is continuing to ex-
pose himself to deserted wives in the
streets of Chicago.
Trying to find out why she gave
26,860 pounds of milk in one year,
they've killed J0Senhjno Missouri
