It was a losing game in the end, and sow Simons is nursing his disappointment in a room at the Great Northern hotel, while constables have orders to arrest Mrs, Sarah Perlberg on charges of having false pretences. Mrs. Perlburg is said to have trifled with the affections of the Rochester merchant to such an extent that he journeyed to Chicago to make it in- teresting for her. Simons savs under oath that the voung woman pretenda- ed to love him, and won bis heart, his affections, and at various times portions of his wealth, which he in vested in expensive pieces of jewelry. The long distance telephone figured in the love making, and Simons paid by the second to whisper fond words over the wire to his sweetheart in Chicago. : x However, the Rochester merchant be- lieved that he was receiving his money's worth when the young Chica- go woman told him he was the only ope she loved, and he says he was joyful when she deetared through the telephone that she would be happy when she changed her name to Mrs. Sarah Simons. At present, however, Simons' feeling towards the young woman is such that the Jong aistance 'phone is use less, He wanted to be nearer than Rochester, and. he took a train and came to. Chicago. He brought with him. a bunch of sweet scented letters, telephone ana jewelry bills, and then he submitted it to lis attorney, Jsracl Cowen, in the Tacoma building, Then justice Dooley was appealed to, ana hig honor sympathizea to such an ex tent with the rejected lover from Ro chester that he. issued a warrant for the arrest of the young woman. Mrs, Sarah Perlburg lives at No, 635% North Artesian avenue. She has been married just g short time, bus long enough to make Simons most unhappy. In the complaint he lodged with justice Dooley he alleges that the following items were se¢ured from him under the pretence that the woman loved him and him alone: Ove ring wet with diamonds, valoed at. $100 One solitaire diamond pin, valued at .. 125 One gold bracelet, valued ato. i 2B One fur bon, valued at 4 Five vards of binck cloth, Ong silk 'blouse, valued at a D Simons avers that he was happy and contented until he received go lot: ter from his sweetheart that informed him that her old love had come back. He also learned, be says, that she never loved him. "You would not want me to marry vou when I.do not love you," she is quoted as having written, "and 1 ap peal to yon as a man to release me." Simons says it took quite a whil for him to recover from the surprise, and then he began to figure ap just how expensive the young Chicago wo: man had been. DEATH OF JOSEPH LAWSON.
