Beauty’s Husband Sues Manger for
Alienated Affections.
" Thelma Williams, a demure Port
Matilda girl until she blossomed out
as “Miss Pittsburgh” in the 1926 beau-
ty contest, is receiving more notoriety
now than she did when she appeared
in the Atlantic City beauty pageant.
Following her arrest in Detroit, Mich.,
and her release at Buffalo, N. Y., she
instituted proceedings in divorce, in
estmoreland County, Pa., against
her husband of eighteen months, Jes-
se W. Gray. The latter has retaliated
by bringing suit for $100,000 damages
for alienation of affections against
Royce Grimm, Thelma’s beauty man-
ager, in Buffalo, N. Y., on Saturday,
and in his brief of complaint for the
first time bares some facts on the
life of the beauty and himself.
The husband alleges in his suit that
he first became acquainted with
Grimm in December, 1926, the latter
professing toward him great friend-
ship, stating that he wished to be of
assistance to him and his wife in the
promotion of a beauty review. He
desired to obtain the services of his
wife, Gray claims, to participate in
the review.
Gray alleges that Grimm lured his
wife from him, and was responsible
for their home being broken up. His
wife was his companion of school
days. the husband alleges. both at-
tending the grade schools in Port Ma-
tilda, Centre county, and later they
were teachers in the same school, hav-
ing adjoining class rooms.
As a result of the wiles and action
of Grimm, the husband alleges, that
his wife became cold towards him
and finally left him. During March
of last year, Gray alleges, that the
defendant induced his wife to jour-
ney with him to different points in
Ohio, and finally, he took her to Al-
toona, making the trip by automobile.
She finally left home on May 20 and
traveled to different points in the
State of New York, Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan with Grimm, the suit al-
leges. They also resided together, it
is charged, in Detroit, Mich., at which
place Grimm was apprehended, being
charged with violating the Mann act.
The husband alleges that from the
time of their marriage in September,
1926, he always maintained a com-
fortable home for his wife at Traf-
ford. He went there after giving up
his position as a school teacher in
Port Matilda, and has been employed
at the: Westinghouse plant at Traf-
ford. They were happy together,
Gray alleges, until his wife came un-
der the influence of Grimm.

Increase Demands on Penal Institu-
tions.
Records being compiled by the bu-
reau of restoration of the State De-
partment of Welfare show a gradu-
ally increasing population at the pe-
nal institutions over which it has su-
pervision.
Population at the sixty-nine county
prisons and work houses on January
1 was 7647 of which 510 were women
and 7187 men. The total was an in-
crease of 658 during the year.
The total population of the two
State penitentiaries and two State re-
Jormetories was 4509, an increase of
Commitments for violation of the
various liquor laws is one of the few
causes which show a decrease for the
year. Officials of the bureau said they
have no data to indicate the cause of
the decrease in the number of sen-
tences being served for such viola-
tions.
The totals for the majority of oth-
er infractions showed a steady in-
crease. Robbery, larceny, carrving
deadly weapons, and assault and bat-
tery all caused increased commit-
ments.
