CHARLEY VICK LIGHTS OUT.

The Much Married Rensselaer Boy Released On Bond end Uster Decamps. Charley Vick, the thrice married Rensselaer young man whose arrest was noted by us last week, was released from the Ripley county jail on Thursday of last week on a S3OO bond signed by “father-in-law” Heinsman, of Sunman, and Thursday evening came to Monon, where he was met by a near relative of this city, a livery team hired and he was driven to Rensselaer. Arriving here Charlie went to his father’s home, remained there a few hours and then in company with Mr. Vick, senior, drove back to Monon, where the midnight train was taken for Sunman. Saturday morning all parties, the elder Vick, Charlie, wife No. 3, father-in-law Heiseman and perhaps one or two others of his new relatives, drove to Versailles, where it was found that officers from Chicago were after him, and that ths _ governor of Indiana had grantach or was about to grant, requisition papers for his return to Illinois. The sheriff, prosecuting attorney and old man Heiseman were in consultation in the sheriff’s office, and Charlie and his father and the “wife” were in the former’s lawyer’s office, talking matters over. The lawyer’s office was a long, narrow room, reaching the full length of the building in which it was located, and contained two rear rooms. Charlie and wife No. 3 were “spooning” in the rear room when the sheriff and Heiseman were seen coming across the street, the sheriff with blood in his eye. He had evidently been telling pa Heiseman some thingsand prevailed on the old gent to turn his new son-in-law over to him, when he (the sheriff) intended to turn him over to the Illinois officers. Charlie, no doubt, had his weather eye open or was given a gentle tip of how the land lay, and he lost no time in leaping out of the window and lighting out. The sheriff entered the law office and asked for young Vick. He was told that he had went down the street. He then went out looking for him, but soon returned and looked into the rear room of the lawyer’s office, only to see the young “wife” all alone. She. by a woman’s tact, detained him a few moments longer, and when it finally dawned upon him that the object of his search had “taken to the woods,” Charlie was no doubt quite a distance from the place. The sheriff raved, but his bird had flown, and at this writing has not been apprehended. It was thought there that he had struck out for Kentucky. Mr. Vick, senior, returned from Ripley county last Monday and seems pretty well convinced that the boy will not be caught, although he intimates that he expects he will return there when his trial comes up in September. Charlie was very much enamoured with his Sunman wife and the tender feeling seems to have been highly recriprocated on her part. So deeply in love with her young “husband” is she in fact, that Mr. Vick, senior, thinks she will certainly go crazy or die of a broken heart if he does not return to her. This girl has two brothers and four sisters, we understand, nearly all of whom have reached the marriageable age. She is about 21 years of age. Her parents are of German descent. Her father is a farmer. Mr. Vick, senior, thinks the boy is not in his right mind, as this is the only way in which he can account for his actions. Charles L. Vick was born September, 21, 1879, in Tippecanoe county; married to Anna Sommers -of Rensselaer, Ind., April —, 1900, at Chicago; married Dec. 31, 1901, to Miss Emily Winfred Miller, at Chicago, under name of Charles Vic; married July 3, 1902, to Miss Ella Heiseman of Sunman Ind., at Milan, Ind., under his right, name of Charles L. Vick, although he had went by the name of Charles Lyman at Sunman. Lyman is his | middle name, and he simply dropI ped the name of Vick.
