ditions he found in the public schools

came discouraged. Manson was hurt,
His foot was injured in an accident on
the railroad. He settled for $3.50, and
with this and similar sum purchased
little place in Ottawa, Kans.
Finally he traded the place for an
automobile (the family were getting
bare necessities) and within a month
an accident resulted in the destruc-
ton of the machine. It was at Ottawa
that she first met Linzy.
LinZy was the first man she had
ever cared for. He left Ottawa short
ly afterward and went to the north
ing her three children with her, came
to Davenport.
She wrote to Linzy to come to Dav-
export. He did. Despite his remon-
strances she insisted on taking his
name. and they lived together as hus-
band and wife So she started to
save enough money to obtain divorce
from her husband-uncle.
Trouble still pursued the woman, and
the husband came after her His foot,
which had never regained its healthy
condition, was slowly rotting. She
took Linzy's money Che had been turn
ing his salary over to herr and paid
for an operation to save her husband s
life.
The operation was successful and
Manson recovered. Then he left Dav-
export to return to Kansas. About
two months ago he again returned to
Davenport and was given a home by
the couple here.
Last night he left and complained.
Linzy, anticipating trouble, told the
woman that Manson would stir up
something. He was right. Manson
told his story at the station and Officer
Speth arrested Linzy. He is being
held pending developments.
Agrees to Divorce.
The husband, on examination this
morning, agreed to the proposition
that his wife be divorced for the pur-
pose of remarrying Linzy, saying that
his daughters, now grown women,
would take care of him.
Manson is almost fifty eight years
old and looks 10 years older
Il would marry her now if it were
possible" said Linzy this morning.
I'VE have been trying to get enough
ahead so that she could get divorce
and we could obey the laws, but it has
been hard. After We he'd paid for Man
sons operation, one of the girls was
hurt. That meant more expense. I'm
going to stick with her and marry her.
Every cent | have made for the past
two years has gone toward her sup

SOrdid Narrative of Self-Denial and

Arrested in Davenport.

Eighteen Years later She Deserts Hus-
band, Living With Affinity, But
Takes Helpmate In.

Just an ordinary sordid story that
came out in Davenport police court
held underlying the surface facts
which are that man was arrested for
living with another mans wife, on
complaint of the husband, runs cur
rent Of unselfishness and self-denial
that resembles fiction more than fact
| The pitiable tale came to the sur
face after lying latent for two decades
and the finish resulted from the COM
plant Of Wesley Manson of Ottawa,
Kans., against Ralph Linzy. and Man
sons wife, who has taken the name of
Linzy. They live at 7OS Rock Island
street
| The woman in the case, her hands
roughened by work, her voice husky
with tears and strained with the effort
to speak, sat in the office of the chief
of police and after the first few SEN
fences poured out her story with re-
| lief

| 20 feet, her husband, who is also an
uncle, crouched across from her and
| listened. The woman told the truth
and none of her assertions was denied
| by Manson.
| The start Of the sordid play on life's
stage was 20 years ago. when the
woman, after repeated urgings of her
grandmother, left the United States
bound for Norway, to marry Manson.
She had never see Manson, but knew
that he was her uncle. He wanted to
marry her, despite the fact that he was
almost twenty years her senior. She
was but IS years old, then, and looked
even younger. A photograph taken at
the time of her wedding shows thai.
| She arrived at the home in Norway,
and again objected. but her grand
mother had received $500 from Man
son, the price of her granddaughter,
and plans for the ceremony were
started. A few weeks later they were
married.
Two children were born to the cou-
pie within three years and a decade
ago they came to the United States,
she to return to her native land, and
the husband foreigner. She was
faithful to him, and three years ago a
little boy was born.
