…Wife Returns Home
Welland county woman who eloped with the hired man a fortnight ago.
[Welland Telegraph 1900]
They were traced to Chicago by Constable Dowd, who prevailed on the woman to return to her husband.
Detective John R. Dowd went to Chicago on Thursday last in quest of a woman who had left her husband’s home in Wainfleet for the society of another man. Mr. Dowd returned with the woman on Sunday night.
The following dispatch from Chicago in Thursday’s Mail-Empire gives full particulars:– Chicago, March 27.—An erring but repentant wife, a wronged but forgiving husband, and a faithless employee figure in a romance which has been unearthed by the Englewood police, and which resulted in the return yesterday of the wife to the forsaken home with her daughter, whom she has carried along with her in flight.
The story was revealed to Captain O’Neill Sunday by Constable John Dowd, of Welland, Ont., who had followed a runaway wife to Chicago, and who took her back to the waiting husband. The woman is Alice Stayzer. Up to March 8th she lived with her husband, John Stayzer, and their four-year old daughter, Alice, on a prosperous farm near Welland. A happy home was the Stayzer homestead until early last fall, when stayzer engaged William Lambert. Lambert and the wife discovered congenial tastes and the mutual attraction grew until the husband became suspicious. Stayzer then took measures to head off the intimacy. He discharged Lambert and sent his wife and child to the home of a relative on a visit.
March 8 Mrs Stayzer took her child and left, ostensibly for home. She never reached there, and the distracted husband sought the aid of the police in finding her. Constable Dowd learned that she had purchased tickets to Chicago, and he came to search for her. With the aid of Detective Storen he found the woman at Lambert’s home, No. 6920 Paulina street, where the man lives with his mother.
Mrs Stayzer made no objections when the constable told her the purpose of his trip, and with her child, accompanied the officers to the station. At first the woman was reluctant to return to Canada, and it took the united persuasions of Captain O’Neill and the constable to gain her consent. The constable departed yesterday morning with his charge for Welland.
