had formerly expressed for his re-
turn, was no longer a prevalent
note. At times, indeed, there
seemed to be an impatient haste
to terminate the letters.
In course of time. the war over.
Davies received his honorable dis
charge. He was mustered out Of
service, a lieutenant. on Decem-
Der IS, 1918.
For months he pondered on the
strange tone of his wife's letters.
He had ch.ded her in his COM
munications with their GOODNESS
and had received no satisfactory
answer.
He fastened homeward, hoping,
even believing, he could revive his
brides waning love.

To his establishment. he says.
he found she had moved out Of
his modest apartment and was liv-
ing in a luxurious home which.
he was well aware, could not
have been provided for by the
funds he sent, first as a private
and even later as a lieutenant.
II was heartbroken. My wife
confessed to me that her affec-
ton for me was totally destroyed
by reason of her association with
another man. That other man,
she said, was Harrison. He had
won away her love, maliciously
and deliberately. by spending as
/ could not spend.
This sudden accumulation of
pleasure and luxury which my
young wife enjoyed at the hands
of Harrison. as he well knew,
was calculated to have a power
full effect on her affection for
and her loyalty to her husband.
II was calculated also to invite
her heart and mind to compari-
sons highly unfavorable to her
husband, particularly as her hus.

Harrison was always at her side.
She confessed freely and frankly.
Harrison had enticed her away
from the apartment / had estab-
lished for my wife. He provided
her with generous gifts, with
tewelry, with expensive clothes,
with flowers. with candy.
SAYS WIFE CONFESSED.
MY wife admitted Harrison

plying her with luxuries. Among
them a necklace. Harrison paid
$4,000 for it. She said he gave

Davies Immediately filed two
suits. One was for divoce. The
other alleged alienation OF affst-
ton.
The second named Harrison as
defendant; as, in the first. It desig-
mated him as correspondent. The
war hero wanted a balm of $780,
600. Harr son was served with
papers at the r tz-Carlton Hotel.
But he d d not defend the action.
A sheriff's jury listened to
Davies story and, on Harrison's
failure to defend, awarded the war
hero a verdict of s150.0O0 against
the wealthy Philadelphian.

batting their matrimonial crash at
Fifth avenue and F.fty-seventh
street, Lieutenant Davies suddenly
lost his temper and beat her. On
November 81 following. she says,
he repeated his charges of .nf.del-
ity and again struck her.
She ms sted that her relations
with the Philadelphia explorer and
planter were of a platonic nature
and that her husbands charges of
misconduct were without founda-
ton.
Now comes her compla mt Of her
husbands attentions to another
woman. This complaint is based
on a certain incident in an apart.
ment in the winter of 1919-1s20.
In the apartment lived Mrs. Re
becca Lund. The testimony as to
to the inc dent in the apartment
was given to Supreme Court JUS
tice Newburger a few days ago by
former Deputy City Marshal Peter
J. Gaffney.
He testif ed:
The landlord wanted her out.
Detectives were always watching
the place. Every once in a while
a woman would scream. When
entered the apartment. Davies was
there. At first I saw no woman.
The place was fitted up as though
two people were living there"
Did you see a woman's APP
parel?" the witness was asked.
Yes" he answered.
"Where?"
"On woman" he smiled.
Where was the woman?" snap
ped back the examining lawyer.
In a clothes closet" replied
Gaffney. Lieutenant Davies
called out to her: Come out OF
the closet, Bobbie. It's all right.
The court took the case under
advisement.
Mrs. Davies is now in business
with her sister as Ruby Lcslye,

HER LETTERS GROW COLD.
Shortly after he returned to mil

his wife. They became terse.
Their terms of endearment were
less lavish and gradually be-
came of a formal nature.
