He and the children had supper and he woald go to the cars as they came in— they lived one mile south of town near the iuterarban line hot—no one came.The children went to bed and Mr. Figley went to the bed room to see that the windows were closed when he dis* covered that the trunk waB missing from its accustomed place. The awful trutli then dawned upon Mr. Figley that his wife had left him. Upon investigation he found that his wife had taken all of her clothes as well as those belonging to the bady along with a few small things n»d left for parts unknowu.Later developements show that shehad sent the girls aged respectively, 12, 8 and 5, to a neighbors to stay, all day and Charles, her 14 year old son to town to get some groceries.The local police force were informed and it was ascertained that Mitcliai Bodkins and Msr.
