Dean, the Philadelphian who disappeared some weeks ago and was found here, as already related in The Post, was largely, through the instrumentality of his wife, sent to the work-house as a vagrant in the police court yesterday for sixty days. Mrs. Dean came here to look after her bad husband, and after he had been sent down yesterday she talked to a Post reporter about him. Mrs. Dean is a large, imposingly handsome woman, with black eyes and dark hair, and she dresses finely. She was until the 28th of last December, when she married Dean, the widow of the late General Hunt. She had some property in Philadelphia, and Dean’s marriage with her was very advantageous to him. Last summer she was ill, and went to a hospital in Philadelphia for treatment, and it was there Dean made her acquaintance. …When Dean came here he got a room in a boarding house… Among the papers found in Dean’s room were discharges showing that he had enlisted in the Army at five different places under five different names during the last few years. The names he enlisted under were his right name and those of Edward Smith, James A. Congdon, Harry Harris, and Gero de Castro. … Mrs. Dean says she is going to try to get a divorce. She says she will have nothing more to do with her bad husband. Mrs. King Tells the Story of Her Troubles to Judge Miller. A handsome, matronly-looking woman presented a pitiful spectacle of nervous prostration in the police court yesterday. She said her husband, Frank King, a plumber, of 1416 Eighth street, was responsible for her lamentable condition. She was handsomely dressed and her son was with her. She gave her testimony in a firm voice, but she could only speak a few words before one of her nervous spasms would seize her and she would have to stop talking till it was over. King was charged with having assaulted his wife and with having made threats to kill her. The trial of the case lasted over two hours. Mrs. King’s testimony was to the effect that her husband had for months past been drinking heavily and abusing her and her two children… King, in his own behalf, told of his son’s disobedience and of his wife’s interference while he was punishing his son. The son testified as to his father’s threats while he was drunk, but said that the blow that struck his mother was not intended for her, but for himself. Mrs. King said that she and her husband were married nineteen years ago and had two children. King was fined $25 and placed under $1,000 bonds to keep the peace. Mrs. King will try to get a divorce.
