The Oregonian April 24, 1893
His Wife's Relatives Will Take Charge Of Her and the Children
Dug Fay, a business man of Pendleton, called at the police station yesterday 
and made inquiries about the family of George H.Hayes, who is now serving a 20 
days sentence for vagrancy. Fay said that his wife and Mrs.Hayes were sisters, 
and that it was his desire to take charge of Mrs. Hayes and her two children, 
and provide for them. He had been informed of Hayes infamous conduct toward 
this wife, and he came here in order to save her, id possible, from shameful 
humiliation.
Hayes was arrested by Officer Kerrigan on the East side a few days ago for 
being a dissolute person. He was charged with having forced his wife to submit 
to outrageous treatment in order to support him, and it was for this offense 
that the officers arrested him. Judge McNary sent him to jail for 20 days.
Mr.Fay says that Mrs.Hayes' relatives are people in high standing and are 
nearly heart broken over the disgraceful position in which she has been 
placed. They are very bitter against Hayes, and think that the punishment he 
has received is not severe enough.
