(08/04/1905) THE MARYE CASE EVANGELIST AND REFORMER CHARGED WITH BEATING HIS FAITHFUL WIFE. REGRETS THAT HE IS MARRIED Sorry That He Told Mrs. Atkins to Step Out in the Promise of God With Her Roubles. W.B. Marye, who resides in the Neas addition and who says he is an evangelist, was arrested by the police last night and spent the warm August evening in the bowels of the city bastile. Today he will be arraigned in the police court to respond to the charge of assault and battery, preferred by his wife. Neighbors living near the Marye home last night called up the police last evening and said that Marye, judging from the cries emanating from his domicile, must be killing his wife, adding that such disturbances had been of frequent occurrence recently. Assistant Chief Callow went out to the place and arrested the evangelist, who declared that there must be some mysterious mistake, but his wife did coincide with his views. At police headquarters Mrs. Marye stated that her husband had struck her and choked her, this when they had been married only two months. She said he had commenced to abuse her the day after they were married and did not think she had a right to talk. This, of course, was more than any woman of the present decade can be expected to stand. She said that a few evenings since, when they were down town, walking the streets, he had cursed her and threatened to slap her, and that she had told him to "Jest light in." He did not do so on that occasion, however. Marye is an eccentric. He said he had recently come to this country from Wyoming; that himself and "the lady" were married at Lusk, Wyo., the 23d of June last. He had resided for many years on the Pacific coast. Had been a surveyor and at one time earned as much as $300 per month; had invested his money in an oil field and lost it. He was called to be an evangelist from a realization that the denominations were preaching a lie, and he had made the choice between God and Mammon. Afoot he had traveled ten thousand miles, and had preached eight hundred sermons. He met Mrs. Atkins at Colorado Springs. She had a husband, and he did not make love to her then. She afterward wrote him that she would like to enter the service. He told her to "step out on God's promise." She did so, bringing with her about $750, most of which had been spent. He said she had purchased a home in the Neas addition with $350, but the place was under a mortgage for $150. He had realized that he had made a mistake by marrying Mrs. Adkins, and by the false step had again become worldly. He had talked the matter over with her and announced that he would go to work as a lather and earn enough money to pay off the mortgage on their home, and would then go his way alone, as a man of the Lord should walk the earth as a eunuch and expect his reward in heaven. He regarded the mistake as his own and held her blameless in the matter. Mrs. Marye, in talking over their troubles at the police court, said her maiden name was Elizabeth Thompson, and that she was raised near Higby, Mo., where her father and mother still reside. She said her father's name was John Thompson. She thought Marye ought to live with her, after marrying her and promising to love and cherish her. Marye gave his age as 45, and that of his wife as 53. Mrs. Marye asseverated last nigh. "I am very slow to get riled, but when I do get stirred up I mean business, and I am tired of bein' fussed at all the time and not allowed to say a word."
