MYSTERY WOMAN TALKS
Declares Dual Husband Is Vic

Plot and Will Help Him.


bert Thornton Andrews was discovered
living in Jersey City with two wives,
but no attempt to arrest him has been
made. He continues to dash about In
his shiny roadster. In fact, he dashed
yesterday until he was quite out OF
sight.
His friends would have the world
believe that he has left the city TO
search for the younger wife, Esther
Tatnall Andrews, whom he married IN
January and took to the HUDSON
Boulevard apartment, where the nrst
wife and the two children continued to
reside. He is represented as believing
that blond Esther has disappeared
perhaps to begin suit for annuiment'
and as intending to search until ne
finds her and effects reunion.
According to his lawyer, j. j. Lazaroe,
Andrews worked at his office az y
Broad street until noon yesterday. re
was not to be found in the AFTERNOON
or last night at his own or his lawyer
office or at the hotel where he mas
been staying since Thursday, when ne
hacked suit cases for himself and the
Younger wife and left the home in New
Jersey.
Connecticut Still waiting.
Iyp in Greenwich the town prosecutor
James F. Walsh, is patiently waiting
for the broker to appear and accept ser
vice Of the warrant charging pisamy
and perjury. which Mr.. Walsh obtained
on Thursday. Andrews said he was Will
ing to go to Connecticut and prove NM
self innocent, but he has not peen
seen there yet.
Yesterday the New York lawyer, Laza-
roe. said he did not believe any warrant
had been issued in Connecticut. It's an
newspaper talk" he remarked Last
night prosecutor Walsh told THE NEW
YoRK HERALD that Mr.. Lazaroe was
orite mistaken. There is warrant, ne
said. but he would not answer any ques-
tions as to why no attempt mas ap-
parently been made to have ANDREWS -.
tradited either from New jersey or -"

Mr I.azaroe was equally sure that
"there is no other woman figuring In TINS
matter" But yesterday young woman n

snc. last eening of Andrews's where
abouts. She offered her belief that ne
had set forth on the quest of the junior
wife. Esther Tatnall Andrews.
Andrews was described as having sup
posed that the disappearing Esther had
gone to Pittsburgh to visit her motner,
Mrs. Christine Tatnall. ana possibly 70
ask a lawyer about the chances OF q
sbit for annulment. although she said
on Thursday she would never leave him.
But as word from Pittsburgh is that
she has not arrived there, Herbert says
he Is stumped.
The first wife, Maud Haynes An
drews, who is in the Jersey City apart
ment with her two children. seems
rather sceptical about the vanishing OF
the second wife. However, she would
not talk for publication yesterday. ex-
cent TO say: II do not know what
shall do, but I shall find way. God
has given me these boys and He gave
them for some purpose" She went to
Newark Yesterday and had talk with
her attorneys. Furst & Furst.
No Request for Extradition.
liz was learned yesterday that the
first wife was named as her husband $
partner when the partnership of II. t.
Andrews 4 Co, % Broad street, was
formed in January last Andrews, ac-
cording to a Wall street summary OF
his career. had previously been asso-
ciated at various times with Anderson.
