Chiatalo made a diligent search for his wife, but was unable to find her or gain any clue to her whereabouts. About a year ago he came to Portland and continued his search, prosecuting it even more vigorously than before. For some time it was fruitles, but at last he learned through a friend that his wife was living in Salem, an inmate of a disreputable house. He was informed that she desired to return to him, but was detained in Salem by GeorgeSun, a Chinese merchant, who claimed that she owed him $350. On Thursday Miarka accompanied by Thomas Yinoski, a prominent Jap of this city, went to Salem and secured the release of Mrs. Miarka on a writ of habeus corpus issued by the county court of Marion county. She had hardly been discharged when George Sun caused her arrest on a charge of larceny of some jewelry belonging to Sun, which was found in her room. At the examination Tilman Ford, of Salem, and George C. Stout, of Portland, the defendant's attorneys proved to the satisfaction of Judge Eades that the jewelry had been put in her room by Sun's brother, and accordingly she was discharged. She then joined her husband and they came to Portland yesterday.
