REPORTED ABOUT THE. CITY THAT HE IS WITH A MRS. SCOTT WIFE RECEIVES LETTER. On Saturday Postmarked . Kansas City Story of the Case A Deplorable Situation.
There was a story afloat Saturday and Sunday about the city connecting a Richmond man and woman in a scandal and as it has become public property it is the desire of the Palladium to publish it as a matter of news, and to give the facts in the case as best they can be got at. Edward Muhl, for several years has been employed at the Lichtcnfels butcher shop on Ft. Wayne Ave., a id is a brothtr-in-law of Mr. Lichtenfels. Last Tuesday Mr. Muhl left for Indianapolis ostensibly to r.ttend the Republican convention, and he has not been seen in these parts since. The story is that Mr. Muhl went away to meet a woman Mho is not his wife, but who up to two weeks ago lived at 225 north sixth street. Her husband, Walter E. Scott, is the chief train dispatcher of the C. C. & L., and does not live with his wife, we are reliably informed. She has
been gone trom the city for two weeks. A Palladium representative was told that Mr. Liehtenfels and Mr. Muhl had trouble and that was why the latter left home. So a representative of ibis paper went to see Mr. Lichtenfels in order that the truth might be known. When asked wheth
er or not he had trouble -vith Mr. Muhl, Mr. lichtenfels replied:
'No, I had"ncr trouble with him,-
only that 1 told him he coidd not at
tend to Mrs. Scott and to business too. We had been told of his relations with Mrs. Scott and we laid for him and caught him there, and that
settled the whole matter. Then wr
told him he would have to quit that kind of business. Last Tuesday ho
asked to go to the convention at Indianapolis. We let him go, and he has not sin.ee bfen seen. His Avife had
a letter from him Saturday, postmarked Kansas City. He told her not to write until she heard from him again, when he would send for her and the children. That is all I know about it," said Mr. Lichtenfels, "and the interest I took in the matter was for the sake of my sister and her children." Mr. Muhl's action has surprised his many friends here. He was a very
prominent Red Man. and was at one
time a candidate for county clerk.
The whole affair is deplored and it is hoped by all the friends of Mr. Muhl that he will see the folly of his way ar-d return to his family or bring them to him.
The Question of Morality Only a
Bluff. H. R. Marlatt is the Democratic candidate for mayor running on the question of morality. The man who is his op v.-ner.t, Dr. W. W. Zimmerman, is Mr. Marlatt 's family physician. Would the Democratic candi date have an immoral roan for his physician. Prof. Harlow Lindley went to Indianapolis yesterday in the interests
