Mrs. Wright were reconciled and he
returned once more to live with his
family. Mr.. Cheney took the same
course toward his wife, and the two
families continued to live on terms of
friendly intimacy
When Mrs. Cheney and Wright dis
appeared from their homes once more
the curiosity of those who knew the
strange story OF the intermingling of
four lives was reused to the highest
pitch. Search failed to reveal the
presence of the pair in Chicago.
The mystery was not solved for
nearly a week. Then it was found that
Wright and Mrs. Cheney were together
on the formers magnificent estate in
Spring Green, Wis, % miles from
Madison.
Justified Their Course.
Immediately the Wright mansion at
Spring Green was besieged by an army
of reporters. The architect and his
companion, serene in their seclusion,
refused to satisfy the curiosity OF Chi
cago. Villagers gathered in groups
and threatened them. Threats were
made that the bungalow would be at
tackled and it's occupants driven from
the community. Nothing OF the sort
ever happened.
After several days of silence Wright
finally consented TO receive reporters.
Then came the deepest sensation of
the entire romance-the written state
ments of Mamah Borthwick Cheney
and Frank Lloyd Wright. justifying in
their own eyes the course they had
taken. defying the world and its criti-
cisms, announcing that they would
live out their lives as they had chosen
despite the ostracism which they knew
would be theirs.
The statements caused a shock in
Chicago. where both principals were
well known. They were given to re-
porters in the drawing room OF the
mansion at Spring Green.
Wright. gowned in a silken robe, sat
near roaring fire of logs and dictated
paragraph after paragraph, while
Mamah Borthwick-"Mamah of the
Hills"-lay reclining on a luxurious
dlVan at his side. following the dicta-
ton closely and voicing approval.
Here. in part, is the sensational
statement issued by Wright at Spring
Green few days after his "hegira" to
the palatial mansion there had been
discovered. In It he seeks to justify

ed with the sheriff's deputies and
bloodhounds were obtained to take up
his trail. The men were at first in
clined to believe that Carlton had
escaped down the Wisconsin river in
a canoe.
While neighbors guarded the
grounds and the men with the hounds
were searching for trace, Carlton
crawIed from the doors of boiler. He
was nearly suffocated from the heat.
and appeared thoroughly exhausted.
He said he had taken poison. but
would give no reason for the crime.
Mrs. Carlton, who had been employed
with her husband, was arrested short
ly after the tragedy when she was
found, dased, walking along the high
way near the house. She denied any
participation in the affair
The negro, who is believed to have
become enraged at some rebuke from
Mrs. Borthwick. displayed fiendish in
genuity in arranging his victims for
the slaughter. The nine victims were
in the dining room when the negro
lighted a rug soaked in gasoline in
front of the door, according to William
Weston, the least seriously hurt. This

Mrs Borthwick was the first to put
her head through the window to es-
cape the intense heat. The negro
struck her down with one blow, crush
ing her skull. He dragged the body
out and waited the next. Little John
Cheney was the second. His head was
split open.

BY this time the bungalow was in
flames, and neighbors rushed to the
place. Carlton was gone and, although
Sheriff Bauer and a posse began a
search at once, no trace was found.

Wright had not been here for three
days. He left on Tuesday for Chicago
and ordinarily would have returned
Saturday night. He left for here at
once after being informed OF the trag-
edy.
Story Of the Love Castle"
A few days before Christmas. 1911.
Mr.. Wright mysteriously disappeared
from his home in Oak Park. About
the same time Mrs. Cheney also van
ished. The Cheneys lived in Oak Park
and were friends and neighbors OF the
Wrights. The devotion OF Mrs. Cheney

Two years before they had gone to
Europe at different times and had met

foreign capitals, and made no secret

Arrest Man on Assault Charge
Harry Thompson, arrested at 4131s
West Second street, Friday night by
Detective Boettcher, is being held at
police headquarters on a serious
charge preferred by a 14year-old girl,
whose name has been withheld. 1t is
claimed that the Second street house
has borne an unsavory reputation for
some time past, and various COM
plants have been received by the po.
lice.
Expect Recovery of Miss kimbaII.-
Most hopeful word was received Sat

To Take Action en- Bond Issue
According to present indications the
Davenport city council will issue S125,-
5000 worth of bonds in the very near
future to pay for the construction of
an intercepting sewer at the foot of
Marquette, Myrtle, Warren. Brown
and Gaines street. Commissioner OF
Public Works ]. w. Crowley made an
investigation following complaints of
various citizens as to the stencil en-
anatng from the slough lying be-
tween the Davenport shore and City
island. He believes that drastic ac-
tlon is necessary, and at the next meet
ing OF the city council will make rec
concentrations, which If carried cut,
will give temporary relief, pending the
construction of the new sewer. Five
sewers empty into this slough at
Gaines, Brown, Warren. Myrtle and
Marquette streets. There is no cur
rent in this body of water, aud the ac-
emulation OF filth has become so
great that in some places the separ-
ate sewers are buried under three feet
Of mud. causing the output to back up
into the pipes and into various man
holes.
