ASKS POLICE TO HELP FIND WIFE
 W H0 VANISHED
State Street Man Searched Cities As Far West As
 Detroit.

Believing that his wife is wander ing about the country, in a fit of men, tai alteration, Earl Gussman, of 914 State street, after a vain search of two weeks, in which, he went as far west as Detroit to find her, has ap- pealed to the police to aid him.
 Gussman's wife is described as an exceedingly good looking girl, 22 years of age, and before her marriage was Mabel B. Hannon, member of a Bridgeport family. She was last seen two weeks ago Sunday by friends of her husband in the Grand Central Station, New York, walking alone through the terminal with a dress suit in her hand.
 According to her husband, she left home two weeks ago Saturday. On that day she returned from the La Resista Corset factory where she had been working and packed her belong ing, draying what money she had from local bank. She then wrote a note to her mother and stated that the latter could have her sewing ma chine and her personal effects; that she was going away and would never return.
 Gussman arrived home a short time after her departure and since that period has been nearly frantic with grief. He went to Detroit after searching in New York, thinking that his wife may have gone to the former city because of the fact that firms in Detroit had extensively advertised for corset factory help. -
 Gussn1an told the police that his wife lately had been acting very pe- cu1iar and had grown exceedingly nervous. ,a .
