TUusell John Fenian, a Manayunk man
of 25 years, not only turned an Allen,

when It was learned ho was a forger and
not a son of n. steel corporation director,
as he represented himself to be, but he
dragged his parents from a place ot com
paratlvo aflluenco In the world to near
drudgery whereby even his mother hail
to work for a living.
Liquor Is blamed
Out In Manayunk nnd Ttoxborough to
day they aro telling how tho forgeries for
which he has Just been nrrestcd were
not the first: that ho performed similar
ly In Logan and other uptown places sev

t't sell his business nnd hl3- homo, nnd

MAY FACn BIGAMY CHAIICE.
Tho first wlfo said today she was con
sidering making a bigamy charge, but
even while sho said It she remarked, "half
to herself," what a fine-looking man Fer
nau was. Until sho consulted an attor
ney, she said, there would be llttlo for
hor to say, but she did describo briefly
Fornau's desertion ot her.
"He Just walked out of tho house about
eight months ago," she said, "and 1
didn't hear of him until ho was arrested
In Newark yesterday."
Thoy have a baby a year and one-half
old. They wcro married three years ago.
Mrs Flannagan, the sister, said
"My brother got Into Bomo trouble over
checks nbout n year ago, but the trouble
wan made good."
Sho refused to tell how, out neignoor
hood friends ot tho Fernau family said
that slnco that trouble the young man's
father had to sell his business he was
a prosperous drygoods merchant nt tho
Umbrla street address, and also owned
the property which was his home. Tho
sister would not tell where her father
was working now. Ho Is still assessed as
a storekeeper, though Mrs. Flannagan,
says ho has nn engineering position; Per
sons who know him say he Is a sales
man. The sister said her brother left Phila
delphia at the time of tho forgeries two
years ago. This contradicts what his wife
nald about his leaving eight months ago
A former friend of Fernau, Robert Itad
cllffe, was working In Hnzlcton hcveral
months ago, and said that ono day Fernau
met him on the street. They had known
each other well, and ho Invited Fernau
to spend the night with him at tho Valley
Hotel. Ho says tho next morning ho
missed his diamond ring and his last
half dollar.
"I can't nccuse Fernau of taking It."
said Radcllfte today, "because I didn't soe
him tako it. but at the same time I don't
see who else could have taken It. He
denied it when I taxed him with It. I know
he got into tho clerk for some money. Ho
tried to cash n $150 check with me. but T
turned him down. Ho had a roll big
enough to choke a horse when I first met
him."
When Fernau made his homo hero with
his wife's family, he worked as an Insur
ance agent In tho same company his
fathcr-ln-law was connected with. Tho
father-in-law would not talk ubout the
case today.

Fato In her varying moods pcrpetrntes
strnngo things.
Among her strangest recent caprices Is
the ono which circles 'around Miss Helen
Kruger, daughter of the lato Charles O.
Krugor. prcsldcr . cT the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company.
Uut a few yenrs ago, this young wo
mnn, who Is stilt In her teens, lived in the
pnl.itl.il Krtlger home, tho homo of her
father, known ns ono of the show places
of tho cxcluslvo York road residence dis
trict Today sho lives In that samo house,
but under very different circumstances.
Then sho wns tho daughter of tho homo.
Today she Is only ono of tho 18 nurses
In training nt tho Ablngton Memorial
HoHpltal, who live in tho Kruger house
until the new $50,000 nurses' homo Is com
pleted. In those othor dnys Miss .Cruger'n
room was ono of tho enormous sleeping
apartments nt tho front of tho house,
Sho was surrounded with soft colors,
rich hangings and magnificent furnish
ings. Orlentnl rugs covered tho carefully
polished floors. On her dressing table nnd
bureau wero monogrntnmed toilet articles.
Today sha shares one of tho Bide rooms
with three other girls. There are no
soft hnnglngs, not even soft curtnlns nt
the windows. Her bed Is nn Iron cot.
elenn nnd comfortnblc, 'tis true, but not
the exqulsito bed of tho othor days.
The bed has to be labeled "Miss Helen
Kruger" so that when the room Is cleaned
nnd tho beds nre moved, she will have
the right bed. In tho davs of 'wealth,
which formerly surrounded Miss Kruger,
thcro was no such arrangement.
In the homo that was once ncr father's
Miss Kruger now has "part of a bureau,
part of a closet and a bed," In tho other
days tho liouso was hers.
When, after his death. It was found that
Charles O. Kruger, long reputed a wealthy
man, had nothing, Miss Kruger was at
tending an oxcluslve Southern school In
Virginia. Without making any ndo about
It, she gave up tho luxury of other days
and wont to work to prepare herself to
"fight tho bnttlo of life." She realized
that In her new finnuclat condtlon sho
would have to earn her own living So
sho wont Into training nt the Ablngton
Memorial Hospital. She Is a junior now
and sho Is making good.
Instead of spending her days In a so
cial whirl, as sho had thought she would
by this llmo, Miss Kruger Is bUBy from
early morning until lato In tho evening nt
tonding her duties nt tho Ablngton Hos
pital. At present she Is on day duty.
Kncli morning she has two hours off. Each
evening eho stays on duty until nfter
dark.
She docs not talk about tho days when
she was wealthy, according to her class
mates at tho hospital. Tho girls Bay sho
la an unassuming young woman.
"Once sho told me where she used to
room," said ono of the girls, a potlto
nurso, with soft brown hair and a sweet
voice, when speaking of Miss Kruger.
"Sho never talks about tho days when sho
used to live hcio as tho daughter of the
houso though, and wo never tnlk to her
about It. cither. If she Is sensitive about
It and wants to forget wo will do all wo
can to help her." d
After her graduation from the Ablngton
Memorial Hospital Miss Kruger plans to
nurse. Those at tho hospital predict a
rosy future for her, because sho Is much
lu earnest nnd applies herself willingly to
alt tasks assigned her.
