Eventually he desert- ed her and took with him all her clothes and money., Left destitute, the forsaken wife had to turn to her oldtime friends, and what was more | natural than that shé turn to her for- mer lover? asked Wood. Being of a forgiving and generous disposition Wood took pity on her and at various times gave her money , to keep the wolf from the door. This friendship was purely Platonic, how- ever, he asserted. Finally there came a diy when the wandering husband | returned to his deserted wife and | | when he found that Wood has been p providing for her he flew into a {passlon and threatened to murder | this Good Samaritan, Hearing that he would really carry out this threat and expressing a keen desire to live a few | years longer, Wood 'says he quit the | big city ana came to New Britain, | After working for awhile with the ! John Pinches company Wood went to | Middletown and subsequently to Hart- ford where he was employed until the time of his arrest. Nursed at Baker Home. Last winter Wood was taken seri- ously ill with pneumonia and for a | time his life was despaired of. Gen- erously Mr. and Mrs. Baker tbok him into their home and due much to their kind treatment he eventually recovered, But at no time during his long illness, during which time he was. at times delirious and was also | kept quiet with morphine, did he drop | | a single word that might lead his ben- J‘ efactors to believe he was leading a | double life which was proved this morning. Friends Opposed Match. While Mr, and Mrs. Baker and the | daughter accepted Wood at his face | value other members of the family | and friends, without any real season, were suspicious of him, One mems= | ber of the family thought it strange that he should claim to be but thirty- two /years of age wheh he looked so much older. In court Wood con- fessed that he was forty-elght years of age. Miss Baker was urged by some. of her friends to wait awhile longer before she became the wife of this man, but she was satisfled that he was honest and laughed at their suspieions. Joseph Hergstrom, formerly con- nected with the local Y. M. C. A, and who is now in the physical department of the Hartford association, is' en- gaged to be married to Miss Grace ‘Baker, a sister of Miss Amy, and he and his flancee were to attend the couple at the wedding. Mr. Herg- strom’s suspicions were aroused how- ever, and he openly opposed the match but to no avail. When would not credit his suspicions Mr. Hergstrom declined to act as | best man at the wedding and at the last moment Herbert Baker, a cousin of the bride, was secured to serve in this capacity. Borrows Money Before Wedding. Since his arrest,, however, there have been a number of stories dis- covered which do not reflect much credit upon Wood. he was married, it is said, he ap- proached two prominent members of the People’s church and, offering & plausible ‘excuse, borrowed $50 from one and $25 from another. From a member of his bride-to-be's family he borrowed $50 more previous fa tns wedding. His home at No. 3 Cherry street in Hartford was furnished wita articles which he had purchased but neglected to pay for ‘and he is said to have many creditors. ‘When arrested by the Hartford de- tective last night and confronted by his true wife Wood broke down and is said to have admitted his guilt. The only explanation he offered was that he came her and was at once Infatuated with Miss Baker and was unable to resist marrying her. Recognized by Old Neighbor. The circumstances concerning his discovery and arrest are unusual. Yes- | terday afternoon Wood was working on a house on Capitol avenue when a woman, who had lived .near Frank- lin Taylor in New Yark and who was well acquainted with . him, but who ! moved to Hartford irecently, came down the street. - - At once recognizing Wood as the Taylor she had known she said, “Hello Franklin Taylor.” The carpenter jumped as though he had been shot, stammered a moment and then remu-kevr that the woman must have made a mistake as that | was not his name. Saying this he at once ‘collected his tools and hur- ried to the rear of thé house. The woman thén spoke to one of his fel- low workers and learned that the man was known as Wood, had just been married and lived nearby. She at once telegraphed to. Mrs. Taylor in New York and she came directly to Hartford, had a warrant sworn out and the arrest followed. Was Considering Flight. After being recognized Wood went to his cmployer and asked to be paid off. He then hurried home and asked his supposed wife how much money she could give him. It is supposed that he was contemplating a flight, but the arm of the law was too swift and too long. The sympathy of the entire com- munity is extended to Miss Baker, who was one of this city’s most re- spected young women, She was a graduate of the Oberlin College Con- servatory of Music and has a large clientele of music pupils in this city. ¥, M.
