TIE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, MARCIL NO. 2. Clarence Davis’ Canadian Wife Arrives Here. A Plain Story of Her Dealings with That Individual, Bho Calls on Him in the Jail, and Ho Denies Hor, A Mass of Corrospondonce Confirming the Trnth of Her Statements. No, 3 Is Moved to Great Wrath, and Talks Moro Frocly. Which of Them All Is Really tho Legal Wife P Another Nomesis arrived yesterday to con- front the man Davis, now in the County Intl, andtodoherpart towards putting him where he apparently bolongs,—in n striped suit, crop: ped hatr, and behind tho bars nt Jolict. There wns another repudintion, but, unlike thut of ‘Wednesday ovoning at the Central Station, it ‘was not followed by a domestic thinderstorm, nor was thore any attempt to put tho villain of ‘the drnmn out of the way by recourse to x dose of cold Joad. THE LATEST ARRIVAL onthe scene—the Inteat factor in this much- mixed history of man's depravity and womun's trustfulnoss—was Mrs. Mary Ann Davis, perhnp: more genorally known as “ the Caundlan wite or Mrs, Clarence B, Davis No.2. The public has beon kept fully posted regarding her expected arrival from the time when, hearing of Duvis' latest escapade through the columns of the newspapers, sho wroto to Justice Kaufmannand got areply by telegraph to como on at once, She arrived in the city yestorday morning at half-past 9 o'clock. and proceeded at once to the housa of x omarricd ine friend-—a former resident of Lrnutford, Cunada—in tho North Division, where sho will muke her home during her stay inthe city. During tho after- noon sho vieited the Central Station and had un interview with Superintendent O'Donnell in his private office, It was there that n representative of Tne Tripuny found her, im company with hor Indy friond, aud proceeded to ascertain the story of her marital relations with the man of mauy wives. Mrs. Davia No. 3 evidently has been a Canadian belle. But time hits wrought its changes in her fatures, and trouble hn loft its certain impress: there. A brunct, her hair is still of n glorsy black, tho roses huve not wholly faded from her checks, and her Hght, petite form fs yet unbent by nge. Bhe was plainly but tastily dressed, and bid the general uppeurince of a modest, retiring lady in the middle walks of life, She evidently expected ta bo visited by tho nows- paper men—probably had becn prepared for !t— andthe conversation was upened without any fnitintory fuss and bother. Owing ton’ slight tallure tn her hearing, soon discovered, tho in- terview wns conducted under somo little diil- It. “ Fou aro tho wife of Clarenco E.
