49, 11OoAoChCh gave Cuc udulG VI
" Cleo L. Sloan and this is the name
by which she was known in the highly
ornate marriage certificate found in
the room Of the couple at the Garfield
House. Anderson declares that Benis-
chek had been boarder at his homo
when he and his wife had lived in Mil
waukee and that her friendship for
Benischek had been one of the main
causes of the breaking up of their
home life. Benischek had lived in
Kenosha for the past three weeks and
he left here last Saturday to go to
Crown Point to be married. Mrs. An
derson had joined him in Chicago. The
former husband this morning declared
tFat he had consented not to appear in
the divorce case in Kenosha with the
understanding if they could settle their
troubles he and his wife would be re-
married within a year.
A formal complaint for adultery was
made against both Mrs. Benischek and
her second husband and the case will
probably be heard in the municipal
court later in the day.
Benischek was arraigned before
Judge Randall just before noon and he
entered plea of not guilty to the
charges and the hearing of the case
was continued until November 9th.
Bonds were placed at thousand dol
lars. 1t had been planned to bring the
wife in at the same time, but as she
left the Jail she became hysterical and
fell in a faint. On this account her
hearing was continued until later in
the day. 1t is expected that similar
continuance will be taken in both cases.
