Wife TELLS OF WANDERINGS
Kissing Man Had on Two Previous
Occasions Left Home Under Similar
Circumstances Letters Sent to
Many Cities to Solve Mystery.

Mrs Robert Wiemann, residing just
orth of the city on Albert street, has
Jade another appeal to the sheriff and
chief of police asking aid in her
arch for her husband who has been
issing from home since the 18th Of
tst September. The case is a most
uzzling one and Mrs. Wiemann insists
nat she believes her husband is wan
ering about the country and proba-
ly suffering from lapse of memory.
With her six little children, all under
he age of fourteen, the woman has
raited for weeks for some word from
en- husband. The police have made
ONE efforts to locate him, but today
he sheriff and the police department
re sending letters to the police Of
GERS in many cities seeking some help
n the search. 1t is thought possible
hat Wiemann may be in Detroit
CHS theory has been advanced on ac-
cunt of the fact that he went to
Detroit on a former occasion when he
uttered from lapse of memory.
Wiemann was employed as a wood
worker at the plant of The Thomas B.
Jeffrey Company previous to his dis
appearance from Kenosha. He was
seemingly in the best of health when
he left his home on the morning Of the
fifteenth Of September and his home
life is declared to have been of the
most satisfactory nature. His wife
had seen no symptoms Of lapse of
his mental powers He had been
working steadily and he seemed to
have the greatest interest in his home
and the members of his family. On
Tuesday Mrs. Wiemann told the sheriff
a fearful story of her fears. She re-
cited the fact that on two former oc-
casions her husband had wandered
away while suffering from lapscs Of
memory and that at one time he wan
dered over much of the country before
his senses returned to him. AT that
time he hurried back to his family,
but he was not able to give any ac-
count of his wanderings about the
country. Later he was traced back
and it was shown that he had travelled
hundreds of miles on foot. Mrs. VIE
mann feels that the same sort of an
illness has overtaken him at this time
and she fears that with the winter
coming on he may be in danger of fall
ing by the wayside somewhere and dy-
inc from exhaustion and exposure.
"The case is a most remarkable
one" said Sheriff Stahl this morning.
"The facts that we have gathered
show that Wiemann was happy in his
home life and that he had no reason
TO leave the city. We want to help
his wife and children, but searching
for the man is like looking for a NEE
die in a hay stack. He simply drop
jed out of sight and every effort that
we have made to get some trace of him
has been without result. No one seems
to have seen Wiemann and he made no
statement to any one as to his plans
for leaving the city. He just dropped
out of sight and there all trace Of him
ended. We are sending letters to De-
troit and other cities in an effort to
get some solution of'this mystery, but
we are not very hopeful. Mrs. Vie
mann is suffering terribly from the
prolonged absence of her husband and
/ am convinced that she fells certain
that her husband is not away from his
home and children voluntarily. /"
