The Sun

She is Traced
Thinks She was His Wife.

A well-dressed man and woman stopped off a Hoboken ferryboat on Sunday afternoon and went into Duke's Hotel, near the ferry, in Hoboken, where they had dinner. From there they went to Moyer's Hotel, in Washington street, and engaged a room, registering as George Wilson and wife. A sharp-looking man who had been following them hastened to the nearest telegraph office and sent a despatch to Francis G. Telfair in New York. About an hour later Mr. Telfair and the sharp-looking man, who proved to be a detective, procured a warrant for the arrest of the couple. Telfair saying the woman was his wife.

Two policemen went to the hotel, but Mr. Meyer begged them to postpone making the arrests until morning, as he did not want to have any unseemly disturbance. The policemen agreed, on condition that they were permitted to remain in the hotel to prevent an escape. The policemen remained on guard all night and until a late hour in the morning, when, as the couple failed to appear, they insisted on going to the room. On reaching it they found it vacant, much to their surprise. George Wilson and wife had disappeared in some mysterious manner. Telfair was greatly disappointed. He said that he and his wife had been living apart for some time, and he had employed a detective to shadow her. The detective, he said, saw her join a man at Thirty-fourth street and Eighth avenue, and traced them to Hoboken.
