Parsons Finds Policeman Pres

Ernest Parsons is in trouble again
with the police for flirting with his own
wife.
Parsons is the man who leaped into
fame by being separated from his wife
and then showering her with his atten-
tions. The latter consisted. in part, of
sending her a love note, TO which was
attached a mystic nine Of diamonds.
Mrs Parsons yesterday asked Police
man Corbett to accompany her, so she
could prove before the law how her
husband kept annoying her He walked
with her 10 Fifth Avenue and Thirty

preached, carrying in his hand a big
bouquet. Instead of the fair lady step

Corbett advanced and told Parsons who
he was. The writer then poked the
flowers. wrapper and all, into the pa
trolman's face.
This rufled Corbett's feelings. and
he tackled Parsons, bringing him TO
West Side Court. Here he received
the alternative of furnishing a 1000
bond 10 keep the peace for six months
or going TO the Workhouse for that
period.

prosperity Of rural New England than
