MAY KILL HIS WIFE

Who Married a Young Ann Arbor Boy

"Curly" Trempler is out of prison again, having been released Thursday from a two year and a half sentence at Jackson by Judge Kinne, for cutting his wife, known in police circles here as "Frenchy," with a knife. The deed was done in this city. Trempler has shown up in Detroit breathing dire threats to kill his wife and the fellow he says she has married while he was doing time. He was sentenced to Jackson in 1893 in Detroit for robbing old Capt. Christie in his schooner, while it was moored to a Detroit dock, of $30 with which, according to his story, he went with his wife and bought $30 worth of provisions. He says the crime was committed solely to get food for his wife and her little brother and sister. While in prison she got a divorce from him. When he came out he found her in a disreputable house in Ann Arbor. She supplied him with money to live on and when he got drunk he went around for more. One day she refused to supply him with any more money and he assaulted her with a jackknife. For this he was again sent to Jackson. Now he says his wife is married again. If this is true it is probably to a young high school boy who lived on Packard St., in this city, whose mother assisted by then deputy sheriff Sweet found him in the woman's house, and had them both arrested. The woman was in jail three months and the matter was finally fixed up by her agreeing to leave the city. She went to Detroit. Shortly after the boy packed his trunk and followed her down to Detroit, where be got employment as a bell boy at the Cadillac. He was about ]8 and she was some years older. Trempler is now doing nothing but breathing threats of vengeance against his guondam wife and her new husband.
