Mrs. Daley and
Jimmie, Jr., Leave
For Boston Home

Mrs. Edward J. Daley of Boston,
who. with her 3-year-old son, was
deserted by her husband last We'd
nesday afternoon at the Augusta
police station while he was being held
here for the Waterville police, left
for Boston Saturday after Waiting
futiley for word OF the missing man.
Being without funds, Mrs. Daley
was aided by the city which furnish
ed railroad ticket to Boston and
money for incidental expenses.
Mrs. Daley and Jimmie Jr. stayed
at the Augusta police station Friday
and Saturday. having come here
from Waterviile last Thursday after
the Elm City police had told her that
there was no charge against her and
that she was free to go,
In repeating her story to Judge
Cony Of the Augusta municipal
court Saturday morning Mrs. Daley
said that her husband had been a
World war veteran, having served
overseas in the A. E. F. and the Army
of Occupation for over four years.
He was painter, she declared; So
years Of age and had been married
before.
The Ford touring car. driven by
Daley, which hit Ralph Fitch of Wat
eryiMe last wednesday and so caused
the Daleys' detention and which was
found later to be registered in. an
Others name, is still being held by
the Waterville police.
The charge against Daley was of q
non-serious nature and his abrupt
departure has led the police to be-
lieve that he feared that investiga-
tion of him might have led to further
and more serious charges,
Mrs. Daley reiterated Saturday
that she had no knowledge of his
whereabouts.
The last night that Mrs. Daley
stayed at the station, someone en-
tered the swoman's room at City hall,
while she was taking a walk before
retiring, and made away with her
travelling bag, an ash tray and a
safety razor belonging to her hus-
band, after dumping the rest OF the
bags contents on the floor.
1t was first thought by the police
that Daley himself. from a hiding
place in the vicinity observed his
wifes return to this city and was
watching when she went for her
stroll But after an investigation 1t
was the opinion of the authorities
that the bag had been taken by one
Of the many persons who pass
through the corridors of the city
building during the evening. Mrs.
Daley was exceedingly surprised at
the disappearance of the bag. .
