William Martin Alleged to Have Eloped With Mrs. Rodgers.

A sequel to the recent troubles on “Smokey Row* was enacted Wednesday night, when it is alleged William-Martin, whose wife had charged him with infidelity, skipped out/in a covered wagon with Mrs. Evelyn Rodgers, who is charged with the alienation of Martin’s affections. They are said to have gone north but their destiny tion is said to be unknown. One rumor is that the Rodgers woman took heir husband and children along, another that she left them behind. If Martin shouM cross the Illinois line with his paramour there is a good chance that he would be nabbed by federal authorities for violation ot the Mann act. The fipblie hopes that the departure is final and that it closes the latest outbreak on “Smokey Row” # ,
