Vera Cooper, who has 'ven living with her father-in-law, while Marckle's daughter, Mllita, returned only last week from Nazareth college of Kalamazoo, Mich. On different occasions Mrs. Marckle has wished to go to the residence but Marckle opposed strongly, refusing to allow her around, although he has been constantly watching her for some time. Mrs. Marckle filed restraining proceedings against Marckle for following her and attempting to annoy and molest her. A week ago Mrs. Marckle approached Olficer Wesolek, who Is sLUioned near the J. M. S. building at night, and told him that her husband was following her about town threatening to kill her. She pointed him out to the officer and requested that her husband he brought to police headquarters and Rearched. Wesolek then took the coupe to Night Capt. Schock'8 office where he was searched. No revolver was found in his possession so the captain dismissed them both with a word of warning. Since that time he hns caused her much trouble and annoyance. At an early hour this morning the condition of Mrs. Marckle was reported good. The report shows that th wound was not as serious as previously thought. She will recover.
