PLEADINGS AND THREATS

Alike Fail to Induce Young Wife to Return to Her MiddleAged Spouse. Paul Possin, the Chicago Heights man whose troubles with his new girl wife was told in Wednesday’s Democrat, returned to Rensselaer Tuesday afternoon after another unsuccessful trip to Kirklin in an effort to get his wife to return to him. He was accompanied on this trip by the girl’s father, James Gilmore of Demotte, but neither the threats nor entreaties of the two were sufficient to induce the girl to return. Tuesday evening Mrs. Brown, mother of Lester Brown, where the girl was staying, and Goss ; e Brown, with whom the girl left here, went to Kirklin, declaring that she would do something; that the girl should not remain under her son’s roof. But her visit didn’t accomplish any more than that of the others.

The girl declares she will will never live with Possin; that she regrets her ■ hasty action in marrying him; that she loves her Gossie and can’t be happy with anyone else. She says she will not return to Rensselaer~~because of the notoriety she has occasioned, but would go to her father’s home. Just what has become of Gossie in the shuffle nobody seems to know, but he is not in evidence, it is said at his brother’s and the latter declares he has not been there for several days.
