LEAVES A WIFE AND CHILD In Deatltnta Clrcumilaucea ? Another Woman Ylgltrt* lu tlic Com, Friend* of Ilia' Mlulnii Man Haying'He Probably Want Away wlV? Her-THa Deeertad WU> Telia Her Slorjr to an Intelligencer HmuiWiiV. John H. Blewett, better known about town as "Jack," Ik misplng and has been since lout Wednesday. He disappeared on circus day, leaving behind un amiable yoting wife and an eighteen months' old baby girl in poor circumstances, and a number of d?bts which he haa contracted at various places of business about the city. Blewett is well known, having been until recently manager of tho Standard Snwlng Machine Company's branch office on Twelfth street Last October he loot his position and with his wife and child moved to Camden, N. J., where he worked as bookkeeper for a manufacturing establishment for a short time and returned to Wheeling shortly after. Since his return he ha? had no steady employment and had not brought hip household effects back, but had taktfn rooms at Van CI eve's boarding house, corner Twelfth and Market streotu. Through a few odd Jobs he managed to pay his family's board up to about Ave weeks ago and slnoe then the landlady has received nothing. The last his wife saw of him was at dinner last Wednesday, and she says he seemed In excellent spirits. She had re* oot ved $16 trom her brother, who lives txT Webster county, this state, and gave It to him, telling him to buy some dry goods and a number of articles for the baby. He took the money, kissed his wife good bye, and that was the l*st she saw of him. He came down town and was seen by one of his associates about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. He has always been rather gay, with a liking for the fair sex and some of his near friends have It that he skipped with a woman from Columbus, who had been In the city two or three days before and left about the same time he disappeared. Anyhow, the woman spoken of had been seen with him several times last Wednesday, and Blewett told one of the boys she had "a roll of money" and he had*-an opportunity ond would be a "auoktr" If he didn't *ra?p It. Tlie Indloatlona ire that he did. For several we*kn paat Blewett has b?n oaklnr ?v?ral of hU aisoclatea to kip out with him and has made the threat that he would leave town at the flfat opportunity. The Columbus woman tiled to rmlde In Bellalre and she and Mr. Blewett are aald to have been very Intimate at the time that he waa with the Standard. She la described a* being rather a good liioklnir youn* woman, cultured and the possessor of a little money, and the laat named article was probably what at tract on uieweu. An Intelligencer reporter Interviewed Mr*. Blewett at her boarding house yesterday and found her almost distracted. 8he talked freely of the disappearance of her husband but said she had enough confidence in him to think that he had not gone away with another woman. .She said "Jack" had always treated her right and thought the world of his llttie baby girl and she didn't know how he could leave them. She said they had had trouble but once and that was concerning a girl who had left town, and since that time they had lived happily together. Mrs. Blewett attributes his disappearance to the fact that he had been out of work so long that he became disheartened and went away to seek work elsewhere, but she cannot explain why he should take the last cent she had In the house to keep her and the child from starving. Mrs. Blewett 1h a pleasant llttie lady of perhaps twenty-five years and was married to Blewett In September, ISM. Her maiden name was Moore and she resided with her parent* on the South 8ide. 8he had always trusted her recreant husband and fairly worshipped him. consequently his desertion has almost broken her heart. She has telegraphed to his mother, who lives In Pennsylvania and to her brother, and has received telegrams from both saying they will be here to-morrow. She will have the deserved sympathy of the community. As the reporter talked to her she tried In vain to suppress her emotion, but Anally broke down and wept as though her heart would break. 8he said that "Jack" owned property In New Jersey, but If he has deserted her she would not try to get a cent of his money. She Informed Chief of Police Bennett and he Is endeavoring to locate Blewett, but so far has been unsuccessful. Mrs. Blewett thinks that being out of employment he sought to secure work with the circus ! but the boys with whom he spent most of his time feci sure that he left with the Columbu* woman.
