RUNS FROM SHERIFF DONNELLY'S PAPERS
 IN DIVORCE SUIT

In an effort to evade service of papers in divorce proceedings, Clara Ludli1rn ran from the door when she saw Deputy Sheriff John M. Donnelly ringing the bell at 123 Bronx avenue this morning. The sheriff followed her upstairs and as he reached her, thrust the papers into Mrs. LudIum's hand Her sister, Mrs. Charles Deuschle, shouted, Don't you take them Don't let him serve them," so Mrs Ludlum threw the papers on the floor Sheriff Donne1ly told the wom- en the service was legal inasmuch as Mrs LudIuna had received the papers.
 The proceedings were brought by Robert LudIum, manager of the United Cigar Stores of this city. He charges infIdeIity two weeks ago in New Haven and names John Doe as correspondent. Ludlum brought suit last year on the ground of deser- ton but just before the trial Mrs. Lud- lurn filed a cross complaint, also charging desertion, and the court re- fused to grant a decree.
 Since then Ludlum engaged private detectives to follow his wife and he claims that evidence was procured in a New Haven hotel upon which he bases his present suit. The Ludlums were married in 1909. Mrs. Ludlum's s maiden name was Clara Phillips. Papers have not yet been filed in the superior court.

 What did Mayo say?'' was Mrs. Mzyo's first demand. 'sIt really doesn' make much difference what he says, [ suppose, but would like to know He was always so good at explaining that I would rather like to hear just how he will explain all these terrible things away.
 .'In the years gone by I have re- SS4NOO c1l SOTLS OF messages and 6K- plantations but they weer all just bub- bles- The least bit of an investigation burst them instantly. dare say each of the women whose lives Mayo has wrecked think they have suffered the most. But debut if any of them s11f- fered more than did. He deserted me when my three children were very oung. He left me to starve with my babies in a strange town, miles away from my home and friends
 'fI used to think MT Mayo was a very strange man, but now I think ha is Just inhuman. Amy man who could leave his own flesh and blood his chill dren, for years and not even care to know what became of them, must be inhuman.
 Pity Led to Love. When first met MT. Mayo he was very poor He had just arrived in Scranton from the South and working hard thougt him clever, and when he told me of his unhappiness and the death of his wife, my heart was filled
 with sympathy for him They say pity is akin to love. We'll, it was but a step from sympathy to love. I was young and he wooed me so ardently that yielded to him and we eloped. That was in 1880, two years after T met him.
