Robertson's Story of Plight One
of Rescue Party Tells of Young
Airman's Critical Condition.
'WELTbK, Ariz., Jan. 20. E. I
Gamble, who returned here tonight
from the camp where Lieutenant
Colonel Harry G. Bishop was found
Thursday night, reported the aviator
was recovering: and has been pro
nounced out of danger.
Gamble said Bishop was unable to
move when found by the searching
party. His legs. Gamble said, were
swollen and black from feet to knees.
v. Gamble told of passing the night on
the Sonora desert in a heavy rain
storm. The searchers gave Bishop
their coats to protect him.
Bishop is reported as still being ex
tremely weak and unable to talk to
any extent. The few words he has
spoken since found confirm Lieutenant
W. A. Robertson's story of their plight
following the ill-fated trip from San
Diego. Cat., on January 10, in an at
tempted flight to Calexico.
Bishop said, according: to Gamble,
that when he and Robertson parted,
the latter going for help, neither ex
pected to seet the other again.
Gamble tells of meeting Robertson
on the desert Thursday morning. He
said the aviator was staggering along
crying for water, and was so nearly
exhausted they had to use the utmost
care to bring him back to his normal
self.
Gamble said he, left Bishop at 8
o'clock this morning. He met the
United states Army ambulances and
other automobiles going for Bishop.
The roads, he said, were almost im
passable. Gamble said it would be
impossible for Bishop to be brought
Into Welton before Sunday.

Progress of the War.
REPORTS of the supposed move
ments of the unidentified German
raider in the South Atlantic and de
tails now coming to light suggesting
that she may have been accompanied
by three small submarines acting as
scouts, continue to be an outstanding
feature of the war. Arrival of the
Royal Mail liner Drina at Rio Janeiro
riiminated one of the largest steamers
from the list of the supposed victims
of the commerce destroyer. A strange
ftearaer. with four funnels sighted ofl
Ceara, Brazil, steaming at high speed,
suggested the possibility that the raid
er was near the northern coast of
Brazil.
The capture of the town of Nanesti,
on the Sereth River, by German troops
on Friday is the latest important de
velopment on the war fronts. The Rus
sian forces are continuing their counter
attacks in the Eastern Carpathians and
north of the Suchitza Valley, on the
Moldavian frontier, but the Berlin war
office announces that the Russian as
saults generally were checked in
hand-to-hand encounters and that in
one of them the Russians lost several
hundred in killed and 400 made pri
soner. Two attacks delivered by the
Teutonic forces in the course of heavy
fighting at other points on the Mold
avian frontier were repulsed by Rus
sians. There were no important develop
ments on the Russo-German battle
line and patrol attacks and repulses
continued the chief actions in the
v Franco-Belgian war theater. Quiet
was reported in the Macedonian front.
An official announcement by the
British government concerning the ex
plosion which destroyed a munitions
factory, located the scene of the blast
more definitely as in East London and
stated that SO or 40 already had been
recovered from the ruins and that 100
persons were reported to be seriously
injured. The total number of killed
had not been ascertained when the
first official communication was made
public, but the minister of munitions
stated that the disaster would make
no practical difference in the output
of war munitions. In connection with
the -failure of the British authorities
to identify the factory destroyed, it
was recalled that the great Woolwich
arsenal lies seven miles east of Lon
don on the River Thames. About 67,
000 persons are said to be employed
therein.
Ten persons were killed and twenty

WOMAN DARES PERIL
Fire at Front Braved to Visit
Husband in Trenches.
MILITARY LAWS FLOUTED
Mme. Simone, Beautiful French
Writer, Comes to America to Lec
ture Following Tlirilling Ex
perience in War Zone.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15. (Special.)
Mme. Simone A. Pujet is here to give
a series of lectures.
Mme. Pujet is a slender and beauti
ful young Frenchwoman. For love of
her husband she braved death from
Germans, French, British and Belgians
by flouting every man-made law of
war ancr going secretly -and in dis
guise to visit her husband, M. Andre
Pujet, who was fighting in the trenches.
At the beginning of the war her
husband enlisted as a private, al
though his father is one of the highest
magistrates in France. He fought in
the trenches and recently was wound
ed in the head. Mme. Pujet decided to
visit her husband, despite the great
risks. She was stopped at Harbrouck
and turned back. In her dilemma she
happened to meet a British army offi
cer whom Bhe and her husband had
known while traveling in India. He
provided her with a khaki uniform
and she began her eventful Journey.
At times she traveled with artillery
trains, in railway carriages and in
carts with British soldiers.
At various times her identity was
discovered, but this rather aided than
Impeded her progress, for when she
explained her mission she was aided
In every way.
After many adventures she arrived
near the lines and, through the kind
ness of a farmer's wife to whom Bhe
told her story, she used the barn as a
rendezvous. During this time she was
under fire from enemy guns and dur
ing these Intervals had no companion
but her pet dog, Peluche. She slept on
a straw mattress on the floor.
M. Pujet visited her when he could
persuade or bribe a comrade to an
swer for him at rollcalL
When her husband was ordered to
active duty in the trenches, having re
cuperated from wounds, she laid aside
her disguise and journeyed back toward
France. On her way she was arrested
and was released after spending hours
in a cellar, explanations having fol
lowed after giving her father-in-law's
name.
Shortly after Mme. Pujet left her
husband he was killed in a bayonet
charge. She is here to lecture on
French authors and artists and also
to tell of her husband, who was a

condition which the present laws fail
to cover and to curb a growing evil in
various parts of the state.

Mary Zimmerman, in Colorado, first
wife: Lydla A. Hawkins, in Denver,
May 15, 1905, second wife; Mary Pil
grim, in Denver, at the same time,
third wife; Mrs. Alice Retz, in San
Diego, CaL. fourth wife: Mrs. Mary
Kissler, of Fern Hill, Waslu March 22,
1912, fifth wife; Mrs. Mary G. Craemer,
Tacoma, sixth wife.
These are alleged to have been wives
of Fred A Carpenter, alias Ernest E.
Carpenter, Fred E. Roson, Ernest
Rosen, Fritz Zimmerman and other
names, who is now in the County Jail
awaiting trial for alleged perjury. Cor
respondence exchanged between the
wives and Jail records of Carpenter are
in the hands of Prosecuting Attorney
Remann. All the women are said to
be living, and join in denouncing Car
penter. "He Made Love Butirally.,
"He made love' beautifully. He praised
my cooking. He never smoked nor
chewed tobacco. He never drank any
thing but an occasional glass of beer.
He was always very polite. He had
exquisite table manners. His clothes
were always neatly pressed. He took
a bath every day. He was always clean
shaven. He never lost his mental poise
under any conditions.
'I don't know how I came to care
for him, but I suppose It was all these
things in comparison with other men,
and we were married four months after
met him. Mrs. Mary Kissler, of
Fern Hill, said in recounting her mat
rimonial experiences with Carpenter,
arrested on a charge of perjury after
he had testified in a damage suit that
he was a "widower." and two of his
six alleged wives were brought to con
front him.
"Slick Tongue Won 9ie," She Says.
'He told me I was the only woman
he had ever loved, and that if he died
and went to heaven and I wasn't there
it would be hell for him."
"It was his soft ways and his slick
tongue that won me." said Mrs. Mary
C. Craemer. another of Carpenter's
wives, who figured in his undoing.
'You know young folks marry for
love, but old folks marry for a home
n their declining years. He told me
his father had $80,000 and that he had
lots of money, and I thought he could
take care of me. so I married him after
a short courtship."
Carpenter declared emphatically that
he never knew Mrs. Kissler, and had
never been married to her, and de
clared he had been only three times
wed, instead of six times, as has been
alleged.
Carpenter is about 67 years old, Mrs.
Kissler said.
