GOT YOUNGER AFFINITY

With His Wife’s SBO0 —Jacob Kronfeld Forgot to Send for His Spouse in Russia. Recently Lena Macherinski, a middle-aged Russian Jewess, appeared in, Rensselaer and made inquiries of Irwin & Irwin for her husband, said to be posing as Jacob Kronfeld, whom, she alleges, left her in Russia some seven years ago, and came to this country to make his fortune. He induced- her, through flattering letters written honje, to part with some SBOO of her savings and then not only forgot to make arrangements for his wife’s joining him, but proceeded to take unto his hearth a younger and fairer bride. Mrs. Macherinski later had a conference with Jacob Kronfeld of Lewiston, she claiming he was the recreant husband, but in the course of a day or so sent a signed statement to Irwin & Irwin her attorneys here, that the Lewiston man was not her Jacob. The impression prevails that she got her SBOO returned and has decided to go elsewhere before investing in another husband, although this is only con jtcture in the face of her statement.
