HOWARD LOSES SWEETHEART Wilbelmina Badler Given Into the Oustody of Her Mother. SHE IS THEN HURRIED OFF TO ST. LOUIS Mrs. Sadler Contends She in dent of Texas 1 Re and Daughter is Minor Under that Among the passengers in the sleeping car Tivola when it left Omaha over the Wabash at 5:55 last night for St. Louls were Mrs. Mamie Sadler of 119% North Fifteenth street, her daughter, Wilhelmina, and De- tective Drummy. The mother was tearful, the girl was sobbing and the detective didn’t appear particularly hilarious, for be- tween the women was an estrangement which seemed wholly unnatural and which made the situation emborrassing for all three. Wilhelmina s the girl for whose love Dorre 8. Howard, a messenger boy aged 16, | twice shot himself in the breast Saturday sfternoon a week ago at the Arcade hotel, to which place the girl had beca invited by | Walter W. Daly of St. Louis, a friend of hor mother's and a supposed fuitor of the girl. After the shooting the boy was taken to the Central hospital and with him went | Wilhelmina, who has been a faithful and vigilant volunteer nurse ever since. Ye: terday afternoon the boy had recovered sufficiently to return to the rooming place at 124 North Fifteenth street, conducted by his father, and again Wilhelmina traveled with him. On December 23 she was 18 years old and had broken with her mother, partly on the boy's account, and gone to live with an- other girl at Seventeenth and California. After the shooting she announced a deter- mination to live with Dorre's parents as #00n as he returned to them. They were willing, but her mother was not. The lat- ter vowed that the Howards' flat was no fit place because Maloney theater girls roomed there and she sought a way to pre- vent her daughter's going to the place. Attorney John O. Yelser found, in the peculiarities of the Texas law, a means to accomplish Mrs, Sadler's purpose. In Ne- braska a girl becomes of age upon her eighteenth birthday, but the laws of Texas, ction 2471, read: “‘Male persons under 21 years of age and females under 21 years of e who have nmever been married are minors.” Moreover, until o child is of age his or her home is considered in law to be properly wherever the parents’ domicile may be. Wilhelmina never has married and her mother claimed Texas as properly their domicle. Sentinel Has Long Vigil With these facts as arguments, Attorney Yelser secured an order for a writ of habeas corpus last Friday and had a senti- nel posted in Mrs. Sadler's windows to detect the arrival of the boy and the girl at the Howard flat across the street. It was a long vigil, but finally was rewarded yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock As soon as the girl had time to become settled in the apartments the Howards had pre- pared for her, Detectives Drummy and Mitchell called and, without protest from the senfor Howard, took the girl before Judge Baxter, who had issued the writ. The mother, being chlled as the first wit- ness, testified that her husband, the girl's father, had been divorced a dozemn years ago, had not boen heard from in ten years and was supposed to be dead; that mother and daughter came to Omaha from San Antonlo, Tex., only for the exposition of 1898; that the mother became lnvolved in a business way and had to stay longer; that the girl was placed in Mount St. Mary's academy at Fifteenth and Castellar | streets and did 'so well in music that the | mother has remained in Omaha expecting the daughter to complete her training next May; that three months ago the girl was expelled for slipping from the convent at | night and remaining away with Dorre | Howard until a tardy morning hour; that notwithstanding this, the mother hoped to have her reinstated and then go back to Texas in the spring. Mrs. Sadler dented ever intending to make Omaha her perm nent home. Wilhelmina on the stand said she had always looked upon Texas as home, but that her mother did not understand her and they could not get along together any- where. The only other witness was De- tective Drummy, who gave it as his opinion that the Howard flat was not a proper place for the girl to be. Judge Baxter was thus persuaded th the mother's domicile Is properly in Texas, that the girl is therefore subject to the laws of Texas and henco a minor, subject to her mother's control. He accordingly signed an order giving the parent the cus- tody, and the sobbing, disappointed and estranged daughter was raflroaded to St. Louls, where Daly lives and where there Is a satistactory convent, before she could get to her youthful lover. To a re- porter she declared she would kill herselt it the new conditions are insisted upon by her mother. ola Man Bad Condition.
