WESSLER WED0NE
WEEK WITH WIDOW
Then Martial Law SEXES Young
Husband For Desertion
From the Army

Bernard Wessler, who must answer
for desertion from the hospital corps,
Schofield Barracks, arrived from Maui
in the steamer Mauna Kea yesterday
morning, in custody of Deputy Sheriff
John Ferrelra of the Valley Isle
Mrs. Wessler, who until a week ago
was the widow Mary Peck of upper
Paia, came to Honolulu in the same
boat and is now lodged at Wahiawa
to be near her husband, who is unuef
guard on the military reservation close
by.
Married on August 81 and arrested
five days later and now brought to
Honolulu as a deserter from the regu-
lar army, is the tragic ending OF the
brief romance, of young Wessler, tor
the past ten weeks an emplOye of the
Maui News in the capacity of soil
eitor. And the irony of the thing
lies in the fact that it was his mar.
rage that led to his undoing. An
army officer, reading the published an
nouncement of this event, as copied
in Honolulu paper, immediately for
warded a description Of the man
wanted at Schofeld Barracks for de
sertion to the Maui police, and a few
hours later Wessler was under arrest
Wessler left his place in the hos
pital corps on May III and went to
Maui early in June. He applied fol
| work to the Maui News, and wai
given temporary employment. Ht
showed more than usual ability and
industry and would probably have
| been able to make himself 80 usefu
as to have made his position per
manent one.
ShOftly after going to Maui, Wess
Ter met Mrs. Peck, a young widow Of
upper Paia in the course of his work
and a mutual attachment quickly form
! ed between them, eliminating in thri
marriage last Saturday. They had al
L, ready gone to housekeeping on Well
avenue, Wailuku, and were apparent!
exceedingly happy in planning 70
their future. The shock was a yer,
severe one to the young bride, VIII,

realize the seriousness of her hts
band = predieament. Very genera
sympathy is expressed for her by thos
who have learned the facts in tn
matter.
When confronted with the facts b.
Sheriff Crowell on Thursday, Wessle
made no attempt to deny his identity
He gave as his excuse for leaving tn
service that he was in debt at tn
post exchange and had been refuses
a transfer to Fort Shafter or to tn
Philippines where he might have a
opportunity of making more none
than he could at Fort Shafter. He en-
listed in October, 1912, in New HOrE
and had less than six months to serv
when he took French leave. Durin
his residence on Maui he made man
|, friends, and there is very general n
greet expressed at the pilikia in whic
he has become involved.
