GALLION-TAKEN TO OHIO BY CONSTABLE HI. BLUMBI.

Game Warden Must Answer Charge of Child Desertion When He Beaches His Former Home.

Albert M. Gallion, the game warden, waa arrested Friday evening by Sheriff Shirer on the charge of child desertion preferred by Gallion’s wife in Miami county, Ohio, and for which Governor Marshall had granted a requisition. On Saturday morning Constable Hi. Blumbi, of Troy, Ohio, arriver in Rensselaer and took Gallion in charge and on the 10:55 train started with him to Logansport, where Gal lion was to be given an opportunity io see relatives before being taken back to Ohio. Gallion spent Friday night in the county jail. Mr. Blumbi, the constable, is a little Dutchman, who as constable and deputy sheriff of his home county has built up a state wide reputation. He was discussed recently in an editorial in a Dayton, Ohio, newspaper and credited with being one of the best officers in the state of Ohio. He stated while here that there is no punishment in the state of Ohio for wife desertion, but the punishment for child desertion is very severe. He said that he knew nothing about the charges against Gallion but that if he is guilty he will have to make some arrangements to support the child.

Gallion talked to a reporter for the Republican and stated that he. was thoroughly justified in his own conscience for having left his wife five years ago, and that he would not live with her and does not believe any selfrespecting man would. He stated that he is entirely willing to return to Ohio and face the charge and will not fight the requisition.

Gallion is not suffering much from the shot wounds inflicted by Haynes. Several of the shot are still in his anatomy and the physician says will do no harm. The only visible wound is where the shot went into his right cheek. Gallion almost ruined a suit oi clothes while going through a fence after Haynes. He was caught in the barbs and the back of his coat riddled. He outfitted himself with a new suit while here. A telegram from Logansport, Gallion’s home, in the Indianapolis Star, states that relatives of Gallion in that city say that they will see him through the Ohio trouble. They aay that his marriage in Ohio was under duress and that he has never lived with his wife and never intends to. A Rensselaer party, who knew Gallion tn Logansport, states that he is deserving of considerable sympathy. He will be tried Immediately upon his return to Ohio.

James Donley, the other game warden, left on the morning train for his home in Kouts. He stated that nothing more would be done for the present about the apprehension of Haynes. Chief Deputy Fleming, of Ft. Wayne, stated that he regarded the work of Gallion and Donley as a little coarse, and it was on his recommendation that they gave up the case here. There is no doubt that Haynes has gone away and it is probable that he will move bis family away. Should he come back it is likely that he will have to face the charge of shipping game from the state.
