RES|STS |NTR|CANTE
And So One Eternal Triangle"
Never Was Formed, Dauphin
County Court Learns
A FRIEND WHO WAS A FRIEND
When Steelton Mans Wife Wrote
Letters to Him, He Turned
Them Over to Husband
A FRIEND WHO WAS A FRIEND

The story of a pretty woman's in
trigue to form the inevitable triangle,
the testing of the husbands friend"
how the friend stood the test and shat
tered the one side of the triangle that
was never really formed-these were
only few of the highlights of tale
that edited Judge McCarrelrs court
during the June session of desertion
court this morning when Sevastia
Evanoff brought action against her
husband Spiridion for nonsupport.
And a suggestion of the distant
shadows of the throne of Bulgaria
added Its touch to the story.
According to Spiridion he married
Sevastia, one of the loveliest of the
younger girls in Steelton's Bulgarian
colony, on April IS. Three weeks
later he had to bring a charge against
her of larceny because he said, she
had stolen $500. She declared that
the money was a gift of her husband.
Offered in evidence, however, were
letters written in French and Bulgar-
ian. They were to Milan Angeloff,
whom, so it is whispered about in the
foreign colony of Steelton, is the scion
of one of Bulgaria 'snoble houses, an ar
tillery officer in the army that is on the
verge of the great war, and who-so
the rumors persist-came to America
TO avoid entering the contest.
Spiridion and Milan grew to be the
best of friends. Whereupon Sevastia
began the forming of the triangle. She
wrote the letters to Milan-sheN was
his, and would always be his, and his
alone, until the grave'-was only one
of the phrases that caught the ear of
an unusually attentive courtroom as
Interpreter David F. Baker read 1t.
But Milan didn't care a straw for
the pretty wife of Spiridion-and he
remembered Spiridion was his friend
He just smiled when he received the
letters-and turned them over to his
friend, Spiridion.
