A. Norton yesterday afternoon to enlist his aid in getting back her spouse. The woman claim ed to have information that her hus- bands soul mate was staying With
 relatives on Pennington avenue.
 That he was in Plainville, she was positive as she had seen him near the passenger station as she left the train He made a getaway before she had a chance to talk to him and she wanted the police to aid her. An investigation showed that the woman with whom Francis was alleged to have elopCd was staying at the Wll- Hams home on the Pennington side of the town line. For that reason the local grand juror could not act ! and he suggested that she communi-
 cate with the authorities in the neigh boring town.
 Mrs. Francis engaged w. C. Hart, the former sheriff, to do a little de- tcctive work and she had him accom- 1 panN hCr to Pennington. She eX- l plained that the woman who alenat- ! ed the affections of her husband was i the wife of Charles May and a resi-
 dent of White Plains. Mrs. Francis
 runs a restaurant in that place and
 the May woman worked for her. A | Iox- 1;., II from his wife on the pretext of pay | ing a bill. He left town a short time 1 later. Mrs. May isappcared at the same time and the deserted spouses
 started 8 search for the pair.
 May finally landed in Plainville and going to the Williams place, he claims he found his wife and Fran
 cis contentedly seated in a swing in
 front of the house. He sent a tele-
 gram to Mrs. Francis and she at
 once made tracks for this place. When Francis was finally found yesterday ne agreed to return home willingly, rather than fight extra di- tlon on the charge of wife desertion. He later eluded his spouse and seem- ingly changed his mind about going
 back to his New York home.
 MT. Hart discovered that Francis had been staying at the Hillhurst on West Main street for the past few days and had engaged a room for last night.
