Is Pact Bartering a Wife’s Af

Confession^ ’V
•v
By BOY GIBBONS y
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.—Are love bargains
binding? /'
Have they standing before the law?
A- Chicago court must pass on these
Questions before it can mete out jus
tice in the strangest triangle case on
record, involving:
A wife—Mrs. Grace Donohue, 35,
over whom the alleged “love bargain'1
was made.
Her husband—Ray C. Donohue, 80,
Buffalo electrical supply dealer, one
of the parties In the, supposed bar
gain.
“The other man”—Robert W. Hel
lone, 31, Insurance company auditor,
alleged left leg of the triangle and
second party id the "love bargain.”
This strange story will be unfolded
in court testimony here:
When Donohue’s wife, as he claims,
confessed to him her love for Hellone,
Donohue agreed to allow Hellone to
pay court to her, he will testify.
Courts Own Wife
But at the same time Donohue him
self started an ardent campaign of
courtship to “win back the love of his
own wife.
“Let the best man win,” the two riv
als said as they shook hands, the tes
timony will show.
Two years the odd romance v/ent on.
Then one day Mrs. Donohue disap
J peared. So did Hellone.
j The wife, her husband alleges, left
a letter, declaring she loved . Hellone
and could live .with her husband ho
longer.
Then love surged through Donohue’s
veins. It overthrew the bonds of the
agreement.
By tracing the baggage checks he
followed the couple to Chicago, where
. police at his behest, raided a local ho
tel and/fouhd them.
All three principals were borne into
night court. f ^ ^ I
"Donohue beat me," the wife sobbed. I
“I can’t so back to hlij. I love—I
would die for this man.” And she
sank Into Hellone's arms.
“I won her fairly,” Hellone said.
"He asreed to it.”
It’s because of the “love” agreement
that the case has been postponed for
final hearins' till an early week In
March. •
The court acknowledge# It must
look up the law in such a matter sp
that fair play may be had by all.
If you were the Judge—how would,
you deoide It?.
Here Is the “confession-letter” Bay
C. Donohue says he received from his
wife before she, according to her hus
band’s charge, left for Chicago with
Robert W. Hell one: » .
Dear Bay: I wanted to spare you
this, but you wouldn’t listen to me In
another way, so*I have to tell you the
cold, bare facts Just as they stand.
Bay, it wouldn’t do me any good to
go to church, or say my prayers. I am
damned—damned for life. I have been
unfaithful to you—‘broken my sacred'
vows. That’s why I couldn’t go on liv
ing with you; couldn’t stand It an
other day, living tne double life that
I waa
I couldn’t sleep nighta thinking of
the terrible thing I had done. That’s
why you found me crying several
times: to think-I who had set such a
high ideal for myself should fall so
low.
Oh, God, how I have wished for death
to take me out of my misery. The man
in the case is a stranger to you, thank
God, or Vou might kill him.
He was thrown In my path when I
was lonely and blue and angry at you.
Our simple friendship ripened into
a stronger affection.. 1 used1 to steal
out to meet him, and finally, one day,
/fell. - ' ‘r
And the worst of it is, Ray, I love
him so dearly and madly and desper
ately that it is consuming ray vital
ity. I had to get away from you, from
all, or I should have gone mad. t love
him and he loves me. Many tears have
we shed over the fact that I was bound
to another.
Oh, Ray, I know this is breaking
your heart, but I had to confess it to
you.
Can’t you see now’why I-can’t, come
back—can’t take any of your money.
I am a vile thing, to be despised by
