Wife, Ran off With Frank Allen
George Allen TraiFed EN-.

S-s-s-h, Not so loud. Waldo. You
see, Mrs. Allen really isn't Mr.. Aliens
wife at all-that is. not Frank w. AL
lens wife. But she is the wife of
George Allen, a farmer living near
King City, Mo-, and therein lies the
story Mrs. May Allen and Frank AL
len are in custody of the police today
and it all came about thru the efforts
of Mrs. Aliens real husband. so the
police say.
Frank was formerly a hired hand
on Georges farm and, the police were
Informed, some time ago. ran away
with his employers wife and came to
Topeka, registering at a local hotel as
man and wife. They arrived here
about two weeks ago. bringing with
them Mrs Aliens 7-year-ol son, who
promptly started in attending the pub
lie school, it is claimed.
But in the meantime George got
busy. He trailed his runaway wife
and former farm hand to Kansas City,
thence to st. Joseph and finally to To-
peka. And as luck would have it,
while walking down the street here,
he CHANGED to see his own little boy
on his way home from school, he says.
Keeping out of the little fellows sight,
George said, he shadowed him to the
hotel, where he said he found the
couples names on the register and
notified the police.
Mrs. Allen, who is under the care of
Mrs Delnora McGrath, police ma
tron, admitted this morning that she
had a fine, big home-including an
fineubator-but that she Just couldn't
live with her husband any longer. He
vas too cruel to her, she said. and
under the circumstances her home
had lost its attractions. She is now
% years old and was married when
she was fifteen. she said.
Mrs. Allen may not love her hus-
band. bnt for lOnkS-Oh hOVs She
is rather tall, with just suggestion
of s1enderness; she has a complexion
like those you read about; and she
has golden brown hair and a pair of
lovely blue eyes+neverything She
appears to be getting nervous. All
morning she had waited for someone
to come up and see her, and no one
| had appeared. AS for her husband:
II haven't had a chance to talk to
| him yet" she observed.
And you're waiting-?''
| I'm waiting patiently for the
| chance" she replied with a tilt OF
J her chin that boded i'll for George.
! Her little son had been taken to the
| detention home last night and placed
| under the care of Mrs. w. d. Bundy
Why did they have to get me last
night ?" asked Mrs. Allen. "Why
/ didn't they wait till morning? would
have come up here this morning il
they had let me know. I'm not try
ing to get away from anybody. The
| boy is over there now. but they're not
| going to keep him there long. And
referring to her husband, I'm never
going back. Neveri"
This morning George went to Kan.

Frank. If the couple refuse to return
it is probable that the husband will
| have to get a requisition from Gov

say.
