Arrests His K n & Charge of House aking, ‘The name of E. Gi. Wakeley was placed upon the blotter at the palice station last night and opposite it was the charge of houscbreaking. From the entry made one would naturally suppose that the prisoner was i burglar or a safe blower or something of the sort. But such is not the case. Mr. Wakeley lived, up to the time he was ar- rested, with his family at Seventeenth and Manderson streets and made bis living by workiug for a railroad company. The charge is very misleading, as Wakeley is not a burg- lar, but his arrest brought to light a large- sized family skeleton. O course, there is & woman in it On Friday evening when G. W. Day, lives ut Twenty-seventh and Ruggles sireets, entercd his house by the rear door he heard a commotion in the front part of the house, and by hurcying he was just in time to see Mr. Wakeley dashing out of his front gate. Day demauded an explanation from his who wife, but nccording to the story told the po- lice she ignored him entirely and put on_her wraps and bonnet and left ¢ house. This was first blood for Mrs. Day Later in the evening the husband found his wife in the wine room of a saloon at Thirticth and Spaulding streets drinking beer with Wakeley. Again the husband protestod and demanded that his wi leave her lover and return home.
