He would not divulge what the agree

SHOWS COURT WIFE'S LETTER.
Declared She Didn't Love Him Two
Weeks After Marriage.

A letter she wrote to him two weeks
after their marriage, telling him she
no longer loved him was one of the
chief elements that contributed to the
courts decision against Mary A. Ford
in her suit for divorce from James
Ford, Jr., of Syracuse, Kan, heard in
the second division before Judge
George Whitcomb this morning.
Ford was awarded the decree but
was ordered to pay the costs. Mrs.
Ford charged that he had failed to
provide a home for her for some time
after their marriage, and that he then
rented three rooms in an undesirable
neighborhood near the railroad in
Syracuse. Ford. it is claimed, has an
interest in $4,000 estate in Hamil-
ton county.
Ford said he first met his wife at
his sisters house in Syracuse, in July,
1919. She was at that time tele-
graph operator at Hartland. making
$40 a month. Other meetings fol-
lowed and they were married Septem-
Der IA, 1913. She was prevailed upon
to give up her job, she said. Shortly
afterward, Ford declared. she left him
and then wrote the letter. declaring
that she no longer loved him and did
not wish to live with one for whom
she had no affection, and that she
was in love with another man. I'm
less he released her from her mar
! riage vow, the letter read. she would
ask a divorce. Ford declared he went
| to see her several times but failed to
effect a reconciliation, and then in
serted an advertisement in three news
| papers declaring he would not be
responsible for any debts contracted
! by her. Mrs. Ford came to Tope-2
and filed her case November IS, 1919.
Ford was 20 years old and his wife
81 when they were married He
charged that her statement that he
/ had come between her and another

! divorce and that she had contracted

Der, Robert Hill, negro, was today in
the city Jail while officers are ON their
way from Arkansas to get him.
Hill was arrested Tuesday in Kan
sas City by Police Chief G. G. Hannah
and brought to Topeka Tuesday after
noon. He had just engaged rooms in
Kansas City at 326 North First street,
after arriving from South Dakota. To-
day Chief Hannah received a telegram
from Gov. Chas. H. Brough, of Arkan-
sas asking that Hill be held. A later
wire said officers were on their way
with requisition papers.
The negro is so years old. He is
said to have been one of the principal
organizers of the Progressive Farmers
and Household union, which was al
legged to be responsible for the rioting
at Elaine three months ago. Six white
men and many negroes were killed.
Twelve of Hills companions are in
prison under death sentence, while
fifty more are serving prison terms.
Chief Hannah stated that Hill had
been in the city before but succeeded
in GLIDING the trap set for him. The
description in the hands of the po-
lice, Hannah said, was erroneous, nor
was an accurate description and pic
ture sent until today. Hill was de-
scribed as being a classy dresser. but
Hannah found him dressed like q
common plantation hand. Among the
local officers who worked on the case,
beside the chief, are Morris Leonard
assistant chief; Clyde Tresner, chief
of detectives; Sergt. William Long
George Frost and Ed Medeau.
