Mlwaukee, Wis., Jan. 27.?That his
mother_inJaw was the reason for the
breaking up of a happy home and the
less of the wife he still loves, is the
plea of Joseph Eckman. who has
started suit for divorce against Anne
Shephard Eckman, daughter of Mrs.
Clara Eowen Shephard, a musical
inpresario. The divorce suit is the
outcome of a secret wedding at the
Little Church Around the Corner, New
York, June 1G 1909, a ceremony known
to none but the bride and groom, minister
and the mother-in-law.
Here are some of the allegations of i
the husband.
That his mother-injaw insisted on J
being one f the honeymoon party, and;
that she insisted that the bride travel,
on her honeymoon as an unmarried!
[voman, with the mother as a chaperon, j
iThat he was required to pay two-1

That if he agreed to pay two_thirds

"or pin money.
Eckrnan brings the suit on the al_
eged grounds of cruel and inhuman !
ircatment. Up to the filing of suit he!
k ieged his wife refused to recognize j
|e marriage. He says he did not care ;

THE OLD I
SUICIDE OF NURSE.
1
She Was Infatuated With a Married:
Man.
I
Miss Bessie-N. Elwell. "2 years old,'
a trained nurse and a native of Win.
Chester, Va., committed suicide in I
Washington by taking carbolic acid,,
apparently having been despondent on j
account of her infatuation for a mar
ried man. Miss Ehvell, who lived a': J
the Plymouth Apartment-house, on
Eleventh street northwest. Saturday!
forwarded to a paper the photograph j
and name of a man living at Riverdale,
Md.. who she said in a note ac_ I
7 i
companying, "has been married, di-j
vorced, remarried, and if his wife hadi
not been a coward, would have di_:
vorced him 10 months ago."
The note continued: "It's ail rightj
for a man to lie to his wife, but when J
it comes to lying to his sweetheart,!
that's another proposition. I have!
been one of his swethearts for five I
years, but when you receive this I willj
be beyond his power. l nave given,
him a chance to save himself and he,
has refused. After all his experience!
he does not seem to have learned any_ j
thing to his -advantage about 'the female
of the species.' Look this up. . It
will make a good story and perhaps
teach a lesson."
When the note was received at the
newspaper office steps were promptly j
taken to prevent the intimated suicide'
or to help her, but when the police.
broke in her room late in the evening
the note having been received in the
test mail, her body was found on the
floor, and when the coroner was noiified
and made an examination he found
that death was due to carbolic acid. ;
There was also another note to the i
coroner, as follows:
"Notify , of Riverdale, Md., that'
*" 7 ]
the body of one of his sweethearts is |
at the morgue. He has the price, so
ask lvim to have it creamted and notj
let it be sent away. It will be there j
by 7:30 p. m."

In a speech in Lynchburg1 Wednesday

idea of keeping the government
from oppressing the people, forgetting
modem conditions. He called atention ;
to the fact ".hat he is leaving the party ]
