THE CORSETIERE, Fit vou in one of Her Ladyship Corsets. | Following the sensational gun play at Pastori’s resort on Tuesday, L. M. Edwards, who accused his wife of licit relations with' Russo, came back to the city with the child In his arms | and placed the little girl in charge of friends while. he went forth to seek legal advice and consolation. In the meantime his girl wife, who had entered into a hasty marriage by elopement from Savannah, Ga., five years previous, went to her mother’s home at 345 Haight street and amid tears told her side of the story. Edwards claims his wife has broken the vow of chastity. She shrugs her shoulders and simply says the state- ment is untrue. Lawyers are trying to | patch the differences with legal homs- made cement, but several attempts have failed to secure an adhesion of | the broken parts. HE WANTS CHILD.

My wife has done something which forever will keep us apart. and I do not purpose, if I can help it, to ailow my little girl to be in her charge. Mrs. Edwards was at her mather‘s! home. SHe paced up and down the | room, while her thin lips twiched nerg vously, “I have done nothing wrong | and T want my baby,” was the burden | of her cry. “God! oh, God! Why do I suffer so? I have done nothing wrong, | I have done nothing wrong.” | When asked If it was true that she | had attended a conference between her | husband and Russo at Pastorl’s, she | replied in the affirmative. She wanted her child, she said, but could not put up any longer with the treatment of | her husband. The records at Pastori’s | would show that she had not at any time occupied Russo’s room and_that she was perfectly innocent of anything wrong. Yes, she had taken breakfast at the same table with the tenor and he had been giving her music lessons, but that was all. Her daughter was with her at the breakfast table, for she had come back to San Francisco Sunday and taken her away. MRS. EDWARDS's PLANS, “What will I do? I don't know. I want my little girl and must have her. Mr. McMartin will begin suit for di- vorce on the ground of cruelty and to | get me back my little girl.” | Mrs. Smith, the mother of Mrs. Ed- wards, advised her daughter to 80 to | her room and try and be calm, for the strain under which she was laboring was telling on her nerves. Mrs. Ed- wards took the hint by adjusting her | fluffy blonde hair and going to her | own apartment. Domenico Russo, the man in the case. | tells the same story as Mrs. Edwards. There were no illicit relations between them while at Pastori’s resort or else- where. The reason for his running to his room and securing a shotgun was the fact that he thought Edwards was going to kill the woman and his Italian chivalry would not permit such a mah to escape. All the facts In the case are to be aired in the courts, for both sides say there is no chance of reconciliation and in the meantime Edwards has the child and its mother walks the floor. GRS RUSSO IN SECLUSION. SAN RAFAEL, April 27.—As the re- sult of the altercation yesterday with the irate husband of Mrs. Mary Ed- ‘wards, Signor Dominico Russo will not be seen in public for many months. He asserts that for a long time he will live a life of absolute seclusion. He vehemently asserts his innocence of any intention of wrongdoing, and says he never induced Mrs. Edwards toj leave her home, but upon the contrary when he found that she was not “Miss" Edwards he tried to persuade her to return to her husband. When seen to- night Russo said: “My heart is more broken than ever. My heart was broken six months ago when Collama- rini left me. Since them I have loved no woman and never could again. Now since this trouble has come on me I am utterly sick with living. I feel like Some people say I am, a bad, bad man. I am not. I am aI good man and try to do right all the time.
