Relatives Tell of Suffering.
Born of parents descended from
Scotch royalty and reared to young
womanhood in surroundings typical of
her class, joining in marriage with a
man whose very identity, past life and
activities are little known to her rela-
tives, playing the part of a spinstress
school teacher at the South High school
daytimes, to become evenings, when
travelling in the social whirl Mrs. La
Maude Miller, such has been the COM
pick life of LaMaude Yule Miller.
"The outside word doesn't know what
LaMaude has suffered" said Mrs. Bar
rett, confident of the missing teacher.
years ago she married a man named
Miller. At that time she was teach
ing in Kenosha high school. We
have not seen her for some years. Her
husband talked but he did not work.
Time and again he forced LaMaude to
give him money. According to what
she told me, for reasons unknown to
me, he assumed other names while he
lived in Denver and Salt Lake City,
and for some unaccountable reason
LaMaude always went under her maid
en- name while teaching school.
Joins Social WhirI.
At night, on social occasions, she
became Mrs. LaMaude Miller. She
came here with her husband two years
ago. Several times he threatened to
kill LaMaude's mother and sister who
were in Denver, and he threatened her.
When he asked for money and she
hesitated he would draw a gun and
force her to give him what he de-
manded. Friday I met Maude in a
down town department store. She
showed me severe burn on her arm.
He did that with a hot knife trying
to force me to give him five hundred
dollars she told me. Her sides and
arms we're covered with bruises from
his attacks. My God, what shall I do
she pleaded with me. I told her to 20
to Denver to her mother and sister.
She did and I am glad she has gone.
There is something terribly wrong l
know. He wouldn't let Maude write
letters or answer the telephone"

municipal court shows that no action
has been taken to dismiss the suit
from the annulment of the marriage Of
LaMaude Yule and Ted r. Miller has
been taken other than the filing Of the
formal complaint in the court. The
complaint was filed on January 4, 1920.

married to Ted r. Miller at Mishawau-
ka, Indiana, on September %, 1919. It

riage ceremony Miller was the lawful
husband of Floy Miller of Chicago to
whom he had been married on Sep
TENDER 1, 1914 at Waukegan and from
whom no divorce had been granted It
states that the divorce of Miller and
Floy Miller was granted in Chicago
on October s, 1919, nearly q month
after Miller had been married to Miss
Yule. 1t further contends that Miller
had married Floy Miller within year
after he had been divorced from Elsie
Mcmillan Miller in the circuit court Of
