INTEREST REVIVED IN CHARLIE VICK’S MATRIMONIAL CAREER.

Interest was revived here this week in the matrimonial ventures of a few years ago of young Charlie Vick, formerly of this city, by the publication in a Chicago paper of the suspicious death of Miss Emily Millar of Chicago, Charlie’s second wife, whom he married in that city and after three weeks of wedded bliss took his departure from her bed and board and hied himself to Sunman, Ind., where he was soon married to a prominent farmer’s daughter, the latter marriage proving his undoing and subsequent flight to parts unknown after being arrested and while ostensibly in the sheriff’s custody, which account was published in this paper at the time.

It seems that Miss Miller died Nov. 23 in a Chicago hospital and her remains taken to Blaine, 111., where her folks reside. She was employed in a State street department store, as saleswoman, and had a sweetheart who accompanied the remains to her home. He took on over her death so much that her relatives became suspicious and the remains were recently exhumed and it is alleged that instead of appendicitis that she died of, it was abortion, the incision for appendicitis being a blind.

As a result of the investigation the attending physician, Dr. H. W. Fox, and the girl’s sweetheart, Chauncy Johantzen, have been placed under arrest and may get a few years sojourn at Joliet.
