REAL HUSBAND
Of WOMAN HERE?
Carl TrimbIe Tells Police He is
Spouse of Mrs. Anna
Morgan.

a man purpOrting TO be the real
husband of Mrs. Anna Morgan, and
who gives his name as Carl Trimble,
presented himself to the police We'd
nesday and asked that his wife be
released and be permitted TO accom-
pany him back TO Michigan.
Like a continued story, the history
Of Mrs Morgan, alias Stephens, alias
Trim BILE. now in the county Jail
awaiting sentence from Judge Ham
merschmidt Of the police court, for
begging and peddling without a Ii
cense, is being written in INSTALL
ments.
The story was told 10 The News
Times readers among whom was the
man claiming to be the real husband
Of the woman, now living near Niles
on a farm. He came 10 South Bend
and claimed his wife. but until the
truth of his statement that they
were married in Indianapolis 10
years ago is verified, she will be held.
shortly after the wedding the
husband was arrested, tried and con-
victed Of horse stealing. He was sent
10 the prison at Jacksonville for
seven years, all Of which time he
served. In the meantime he lost
track of his wife, who soon after his
incarceration went to live with Nor
gan. They moved from the city and
he could not trace them. A short
time ago ne came 10 this part of
the country and obtained work on
the farm.
The story will be completed In
police court Friday morning when
the truth or falsehood of the stories
of the man and woman VIII be
weighed and judged
Publication of chapter one, which
told of the operations of a described
woman who gave various names and
different addresses, brought about
her arrest a woman read in The
News-Times the warning sent out by
Miss Leila Scott of the Associated
Charities, and having been solicited
by the woman, gave the information
which led TO her arrest.
In chapter two she told the police
that she was married to a man by
the name Of John Morgan, who was
actually found by the police, but
who on release Immediately left
town.
The third chapter was enacted be-
fore Judge Hammerschmidt in po-
lice court when, seemingly sincere.
she told the judge that she had not
been married to Morgan but that she
had been living with him for six
years She told a tale of travels
through Indiana and Illinois, driven
on. it is understood, by petty crimes
and fear Of detection. She said that
Morgan had made her do as she
confessed doing-that he had told
her To tell of the afflicted husband
and starving little children. Then
as if turning over a new page in her
story she asserted that she had lived
in Indianapolis and that her father
lived there She did not know his
address but stated that she knew her
aunt lived across the street from one
of the hospitals.
Miss Scott asked time to investi-
gate the truth of the matter before
the court ordered nor 10 go to her
relatives there. She said that the as
ISOLATION to which the Local branch
Of charities belonged had an agree
ment by which a person is not ship
ped 10 another city unless some pro-
vision be made for their care when
they arrive. She was ordered held
in the county Jail until Friday with
the understanding that could the
relatives be produced she would be
sent 10 them.
