H enry Gehrke’s Pathetic Letter to

W ife DiaeloMd in Divorce Action—

N o Home, Job o r Money.

N e w Y ork , Sept. 5.— A pathetic let­

ter written by a husband to his w ife

■after he bad been accused » f unfaith­

fulness and driven from home w as

disclosed in the Suprem e Court when

it w a s made the basis o f an app lica­

tion by the w ife fo r permission to

serve papers in a divorce action on

her husband b y m ailing them in Chic­

ago , where the letter w as written.

The action is brought by M rs. E lsie

Gehrke, 717 Second avenue, against

H enry Gehrke, who w as a prosperous

carpenter forem an up to a few months

ago. Gehrke left home on M a y 23

and hi3 w ife had no idea where he

could be found until she received a

letter w ritten on A u gu st 13 la «t from

the Hotel P au l E ngel, Chicago. We:?~

selm an & K rause, attorneys fo r M rs,

Gehrke, submitted the letter to Jus­

tice Shcarn in obtaining permission

to mail the papers to Gehrke. The

letter says in part: ,

“ I w rite you a fe w lines to find how

you are setting along. From that

time on w h ea I w as driven from my

home the w orld has been only a dream

to me, and I can see nothing but

ghosts around me. The w orld is dead

to me and everything I gee goes

against me. The wish which you sent

along w ith m e has come true. I Have

searched through eight large cities fo r

w ork, but without success. I f I

should find no w ork here I shall go

on to St. Louis, m y last city, o r to

m y death. I must go on foot, a s all

m y money U gone.

“ Y ou r love fo r me w as gone a fte r

the first yea r o f our m arried life . I

hope yon are living like a little queen

and that you a re enjoying yourself

w ith your friends and relatives, as

you know when the room is w arm no

Are is needed.

“ D ear w ife , I w ish to ask one favor,

aad I hope you w ill not deny it. I

would like to have one picture o f the

fam ily , even i f it is the one you took

yourself, bu t ask that yoa w ill de­

troy all pictures you have o f m e.”

Gehrke also asked his w ife to send

him his plane, saw and gun , saying

che would oniy g ive them to her

friends and he didn’t w ant her to do

so. H e also asked fo r som e worn

clothes and wrote that, although he

wouldn’t have been seen w earing them

in N ew Y ork , no one knows him where

he is ar.d he doesn't care.

“ I have lost 15 pounds already,”

w rote Gehrke in conclusion. “ I cannot

smoke, a s 1 have nothing to smoke,

and I am alw ays hungry. I f w hat 1

write you appears as a joke, let me

know at least how my little daughter

Elizabeth is getting along, and let

her write a fejw lines to me. I hope

you w ill not bring: her up to hate

me.

“ I ara very tru ly your once loved

husband and farther.

1 “ H B N B Y G E H R K E .”

The complaint in the divorce case

states that the couple w ere m arried

in 1901 and accuses Gehrke o f mis­

conduct with one A n n a Ackerm an be­

tween Septem ber 1, 1914, and K ay

30 last.

in Novem ber. M r . B ray had held the

offices several term s but ia the elec­

evidence in the litigation.

The relator, who is M r. B ray , the

appellant, excepts to num erous find­

W hedbee accepted as correct when he

heard the conclusion o f the case in

M arch. These exceptions are la rge ly

m atters o f fact. The judges o f the

election threw out fo u r votes in one

Just Anybody Could Run.

T o this finding the appellant’s a t­

torneys object and say that in the

Novem ber election there w ere no

county officers nominated and that

a ll who wanted to run fo r office had

their names put on the ballots a llow ­

ing those who wished to vote fo r a

candidate to do so and to m$rk out

•the nam es o f those fo r w hom they did

so t W ish to vote.

The relator also contends sharp ly

again st the voting o f one K . D . Doxey,

'who is shown to have tried in one pre­

cinct w h ile voting in the other. The

referee held that he should have voted

it? a certain precinct but it appearing

that D oxey had a lw ays voted where

he la st cast his ballot he should be

allow ed to vote in that precinct and

this challenge w as not sustained. Tha

appellant argues that this w as an il­

legal vote and that it ca&riot be justi

fied b y continued error.

One o f the eastern habits, contract­

ed in the olden days, is charged in

one o f the exceptions, the relator con.

tending that the precinct o i North

Banks showed 30 votes, 21 o f whom

voted fo r Baxter and 3 fo r B ray . But

the registration is that 22 persons

"voted a t North Banks precinct whose

.names w ere not on the registration

books used at the election.” The re­

feree found that the old registration

books fo r this precinct w ere either

lost o r misplaced and could not be

found.

it either way.

W . H . P erry , an Alam ance county

o f a “subm arine” stare out from

The Germ ans had been busy and

the captain o f the A rabic told his pas­

sengers that it would be a very good

thing i f they kept their clothes on
