COP ACTS AS SLEUTH; WINS SELF DIVORCE Trailed Wife and Saw Her Kiss Another Man, He Testifies. Detective tactics were put to a personal use by Patroleman George A By rum, 223 North Walcott street, and won a divorce for him today in superior court three. From the witness stand. Byrum recounted how he employed his knowledge of police trailing methods to observe his wife's actions. His seven years police experience, he admitted, led him to keep silent when he watched his wife Emma, 49. “sit on a Willard park bench and kiss another man.” Tells of Fake ‘‘Wire’’ "Why didn't you warn these men to leave your wife alone?” the wife's attorney asked Byrum. “I want to make a good case,” he replied. Bvrum further testified that he planned a meeting between his wife and an out-of-town salesman by faking a telegram. He sent a telegram to his wife, saying, “Meet me at the Union Station, I'm coming to the city,” he said. Moreover, Byrum testified he was on the spot watching and taking notes, just as he does w'hen on police duty, as the salesman stepped from the train to meet Mrs. Byrum, Ex-wife to Be Paid Asking for an absolute divorce, which was granted. Byrum told Judge William A. Pickens his wife’s behavior was “embarrassing and humiliating to me.” Byrup signed a contract agreeing to pay his former wife SBO monthly for herself and five children while the two youngest are in high school. After that, the wife gets S4O monthly for remainder of her life, with Byrum's defenses for failure to pay waived.

Sometimes the road was sunny and fun to follow. . . Going Sometimes Is Rough, but Pair Makes Long Trip Safely. BY MARGUERITE YOUNG Time* Start Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—Edwina, (Call Me Eddy) Cohn, 22, and Mildred Uojo) Weierich. 19, traveled the bums' route by freight train and “thumbed” rides 20,000 miles from their home at 119 West Third street. New York City, and they insist it was and always can be done in a ladylike manner. , “We met few girls,” Edwina said today, "but the truth is, it’s much easier for girls to bum their w'ay than for men to do it. We had the usual propositions, but they never worried us. If you don’t make any ambiguous remarks, people are pretty decent; yes, even along on the desert late at night. “If the driver does become offensive, you drop him—make him stop (he ear and let you out. Sometimes however, they drop you.” Teacher and Art Student They caught freight trains in the “Bad Lands” of North Dakota, and on the southwest plains of Oklahoma. They lived in a co-operative group of about fifteen boys and girls and sometimes all slept in a two-room apartment in California. Once a woman picked them up in a big limousine, and wrecked the car. A fire chief picked them up in Chicago and took them to a firemen’s outing at a resort in Wisconsin. They camped out with cowboys in Wyoming and went to a rodeo. An embryo school teacher, Edwina still is waiting for an appointment. Substituting, she saved S6O last year, and. disliking the prospect of four months w'hen she knew there would be no work, she struck out for Cleveland. That is the home of Jojo, art student who sketched along their route. The two girls, who had met in New York, left Cleveland in May and reached Chicago in tw'o hops. Overeagerness a Bad Sign “It's just a matter of standing on the edge of town and hailing a car,” they continued. “Usually w'hen the car stops without being hailed, you don’t ride; if they're too eager, it's not a good sign.” Wearing breeches and flannel shirts, carrying an overnight bag for towels and soap and tooth brushes, they got a ride from the firemen’s party with a politician, to Minneapolis. Then they decided to go to the Bad Lands “bocaure w r e had heard they w'ere interesting and differ, ent.” When they reached Medora. N. D., the roads became impassable. It began to rain and continued for days. They decided to try the rails. Invited to Lunch “We went around to a railroad yard," said Eddy, “I think it was the Northern Pacific, but I’m not sure. We had read about the Scottsboro case, so we spoke to an inspector. “He let us ride in a gondola, an open car for carrying coal. A brakey came around and found us, but we rode on for some distance. “Then the train stopped and we got out, expecting to try the road again. As we walked over to a lunchroom, the brakey called to us. "We went back and found they had lunch for us in the caboose. Then the inspector let us ride from there on in an old-fashioned passenger train. We rode to Billings, Mont. "Another time we were stuck in Geary, Okla. It was the Fourth of July. We met two boys from Chicago who said they were going to ride the freight to Texas. “We didn't know them, but they

Left, Edwina (Call Me Eddy) ’ooked sorta nice, so we decided to go together. We went around to a railroad yard—l think it was the Rock Island —and told the inspector we were married and wanted to ride. He said a freight train would be along about 11:30 that night. "We waited. When it came, we all ran along beside it, then one of the boys hopped on, then Jojo. then me and then the other boy. It was a box car that had been carrying grain. “We closed the side door because we were afraid of being put off. But pretty soon a brakey came along, and he jist said ‘Don't smoke or light matches and don’t get off before the train stops.” “So we rode on until the train stopped, about ten miles out of

Keepsakes Bring Wealth Often Are Legal Links to Unclaimed Riches in Probate Court.

Keepsakes of by-gone days—a tattered family Bible, an old picture album, or a smudgy tintype of a fifth cousin—oring wealth to many people through probate court. These and other apparently useless articles often are the legal links to unclaimed fortunes, and should be saved, says Probate Judge Smiley N. Chambers. Bibles, more often than any other evidence, establish claims to estates, and tombstone records are valuable, Chambers said.

The business of unearthing unclaimed estates, that otherwise would go to the state’s common school fund, is novel and painstaking, according to Chambers. In fact, the job requires so much work that one Indianapolis attorney makes it his entire occupation. It is no easy task to prove an heir died in a certain year, or. if the missing one can not be traced, have the heir declared “legally dead.” Money awaiting the appearance of missing persons is turned over to

Cohn and Mildred (Jojo) Weierich, Amarillo, Tex. Then, because we were tired of the jostling, we decided to separate and try the road again.” “Most of our money went for what you might call luxuries,” Eddy continued. “We bought cigarets and ice cream. “We always could get a room at a hotel by asking for it, or by offering a quarter. We’d go around to the back, usually, but sometimes they would send us into the dining room.” Their first night in Los Angeles, they went to a John Reed club dance, got in without paying admission, and ran into the group of young college students who were setting up the co-operative apartment at the beach. “It cost us about $lO for three

the county clerk for a period of five years. The attorney-general keeps it in his custody for another five years. If heirs are not found at the end of this period, the estate becomes property of the common school fund. An absentee heir, under common law, legally is dead at the end of seven years. To convince the court a claimant resembles a photograph of the missing person is difficult.

The resolution points out that the assessed valuation of Perry township is $12,225,350. and charges that the sole purpose of the attempt to acquire the ground is to increase the total taxable property in Perry township.
