F Family Of. II Deserted

Xenia, o., April 4-W. w. Culp,
40, of South Bend, Ind, former pas
tor of the VI. +. church at Spring
Valley, whose sensa tional elopement
with his 1S-year-old choir leader
created furore in Ohio two years
ago, has eloped with his sister.in.
law, according to word received here
today by Probate Judge S. c. Wright.
Culp is said to have eloped a week
ago for the second time with his
sister-in-law, Mrs. Dorothy Culp, %,
wife of his brother Clio Culp, 81. of
Nappannee. Ind William +. Miller,
chief probation officer of st. Joseph
county. Ind, has notified Judge
Wright.
Culp is said to have become en-
amored OF his sister-in-law when she
and her husband visited the Culps IN
South Bend. Three weeks after the
visit Culp deserted his wife and 10
children. one having been born to
them since his Greene county affair
and disappeared, according to Judge
Wright. The girl disappeared stimuli
taneously from her home in Nap
pannee.
Both returned to their homes
week later and were received when
they expressed penitence. Culp said
his sister-in-law reminded him of the
girl with whom he eloped the first
time. They admitted they had gone
to Chicago and obtained employment
but that they were sorry for the
misdeed. They remained at their
homes a week and then. week ago,
both disappeared again. This time
they took all their clothes and per
sonal belongings. The woman de-
serted her husband and two children
when she left home.
Judge Wright advised South Bend
that in the event Cup IS
captured he should be prosecuted on
the new charges there, although the
case against him here has never been
settled.
Two years ago Culp left his wife
with nine children when he eloped
with the choir singer who was max
ing her home with the Culp family.
They were located in Michigan after
several weeks search.
The girl was released 10 her
parents, but Culp was charged with
desertlon here and was fined $500 and
costs and sentenced to a year In the
Dayton workhouse. He served only
a few days Of his sentence when he
was released on a technical error in
the commitment papers.
With his wife and children he went
to Nappannee. Ind, where he obtained
employment In cabinet factory.
Later he moved the family to South

Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Columbus, April 4.-Certifcates OF
time deposits in banks and paid-up
building and loan stock aggregating
more than 800 are missing from
among the securities of the estate OF
the late B. IL. Keller. wealthy re-
tired farmer. whose dead body was
found In a cornfield after he had com.
rnitted suicide several weeks ago.
Disappearance of the certificates is
made the basis of a suit in district
court here by G. y. McElfresh, spe.
cial administrator OF the estate,
against one of keller's daughters,
Mrs. Gertrude Avery, and her hus-
band. The administrator charges that
they coerced Keller into turning over
the certificates TO her about February
1 by threatening to imprison him in
their home. Being 81 years old and
in poor health, the administrator
charges, Keller could not hold out
against their demands.
The court Is asked to restrain the
Averys from disposing of the certi6.
Gates during the litigation and TO re.
IulIe i0efn u ItllAtT the iillSSillS
certificates to the administrator as
being a part of the estate. The GER
tificates of deposit were issued by
the Central National bank and Farm
ers State bank of Columbus, and the
building and loan certificates by the
Equitable Of Grand Island and the
Nebraska Central of Lincoln.
Otto +. Walter, attorney for Mrs.
Avery, declared the Averys deny ever
having had the certificates in their
possession and deny any knowledge OF
their whereabouts. They say Keller
lost the certificates some time prior
to his death and that the only way
restitution can be had If they are not
found is TO have the banks and build
