Chicago, Nov. 27. The sitting of
tiie tempestuous love affair of Mrs.
Amelia Conrow. writer of children's
-s'ories. and Rudolph Bodmer, author
and publisher of Washington, was
transferred last night back to the
national capital where it originated.
While they were awaiting trial
Friday at a police station on a statutory-offense,
charged by Mrs. Con
row's husband, Robert W. Conrow.
salesmanager for a New York firm,
they were arrested by federal agents
(hi a similar charge made in Wash
ington. Mrs. Conrow and Bodmer were
arrested Wednesday in their apart
ments at a hotel here, where they
were living as man and wife with
her two children and Mr. Bodmer's
daughter.

"He'll put me in stripes, that's
what he'll do," the woman wailed
when taken into custody by the fed-

until he has placed me in stripes."
r-i A walk to the federal building in
' 'lt! 1l,e fres' air calmed her down slight
ly. She walked with herliand under
Bodmer's arm and his hand upon
hers. Arriving at the marshal's of
fice they sought a snug corner where
she sat with her face close to his
cheek as they chatted softly
"I'd b' willing to go through all
this and more again jast to be your
wife," 'she toW him.
Made Trip in Auto.
.The couple came here in an auto
mobile from Washington two weeks
ago. They had met t the capital
after, she had left her husband and
got a government position. She was
under the impression, she said, that
they were divorced at Patterson. N.
J., last June and that she would be
free to marry December .7, six
months after she thought the di
vorce was granted. It appears
though that there is only an inter
locutory decree which .does not be
come final until next month and t hat
she is still Mrs. Conrow.
Upon advice of counsel she and
Bodmer waived examination before
U. S. Commissioner Mason Friday
and returned to Washington tc
fight the charges against them with
out extradition papers. They left
in custody of Deputy Marshal Sam
Howard. The charge brought in the
District of Columbia has precedence
over the localtcharge. It is under
stood Conrow will also accuse the
couple of kidnaping his two chil
dren, w"hich had been awarded him
by the New Jerse court.
. Mrs. Conrow spent Thanksgiving
in jail, iiocimer had been released.
Their meeting at the police station
Friday was affectionate. He took
a seat behind her and she leaned
, her head wearily upon his shoulder.
V P They both wore the leather coats
in which they had taken their wild
auto flight from Washington to Chi
cago. "You're the best man in the
world,? she told him as they sat
thce. ; Both appeared calm. Then
cane the federal agents. She threw
up both hands and wailed that heri
husband was seeking to place, her

t.' hearts here," .she said at the feder-
. al building. "A woman who livdd
nine montns m ncn witn a man sent
me a Thanksgiving dinner and on
top was a little yellow flower. We
will keep it in remembrance." Then
Bodmer laid his Hps against her
hand. '
"I sent my husband a telegram
last night asking him to dismiss the
charges against me. He wired a re
fusal. I can't see how he cin be so
cruel to me. We are divorced.
Everything is over. Why can't I
heve my happiness?"
Mrs. Conrow left her husband

three years ago, she says, and went
to Washington, where she got a po
sition in the bureau of public infor
mation. There she met Bodmer,
and began writing stories for him.
Her husband sued, last June for di
vorce. He won the custody of their
little boy and girl, whom she had
placed in a convent. She thought
the decree was final. . He left the
tr.ildrcn in the convent.
Two weeks ago she and Bodmer
took the litle boy and came to Chi
cago. A day or so later Conrow at
tempted to see the girl at the con
vent, but the child slipped down the
back way whim she heard he was
there and made her way nine miles
to Washington. From there she and
Bodmer's daughter came to Chicago
and joined the lovers. ,
After their arrest Mrs. Conrow
said she couldn't see any harm in
living with Bodmer as his wife, since
they intended to marry next mouth,
anyway.
"I wouldn't advocate that sort of
thing generally," she said, "but with
us it s different. Ours is no loose
relation and he is the best man in the
world. -

Mortgage Share of
. Estate From Mother
Tremont, Neb., Nov. 27. Three
Feterson brothers of Valley, Neb.,
charged with fraud and conspiracy
to obtain merchandise .from several
Fremont business firms under false
pretense, have offered a settlement
with their creditors by which they
wish to give negotiable notes, to
come due when they receive their
share ot the tamily estate, upon the
decease of their mother, now living
in Valley.
The creditors met with the de
fendants and their attorneys and
offered these notes to bear 8 per cent
interest from the date the purchases
ivere made. The creditors refused
!hc proposition.
The amount of default exceeds
$1,700, including the expenses to the
county. The accused men have no
means of payment. The estate is to
be divided among eight heirs. The
hearing was postponed until De
cember.3, to enable the- Petersons to
raise tbfe necessary funds. Theodore
and Gilbert are in-jail. Victor was
released under $1,500 bonds.
The three brothers made heavy
purchases from various firms and
promised to pay November 10, 30
days from the purchase. It was dis
covered that the goods they had ac
quired, on credit were being sold
through a clearing house in Omaha.
