WOMAN IS SAVED
BY UNTRUE MATE
Spurned Wife Took Poison
When the Man Selected
“Other Woman.”
_ *
Detroit.—Mr. and Mrs. Paul Parsons
and the “other woman,” Mrs. Thelma
Deivggie, had gathered in a cozy little
flat in this city. The silence was
broken when the wife told her hus
band that he must take his choice be
tween the two women. The husband
admitted he favored the “other
woman.”
The wife sank to a chair and mo
tioned the others to do likewise. Then
she talked of the future of the three,

and said she would not stand In the
way of her husband obtaining a di
vorce, that he might marry the woman
of his choice. Her last request was
that Mrs. Deivggie leave the room for
an hour. A few minutes later Mrs.
Parsons stepped to a medicine cabinet,
snatched a bottle of poison and raised
it to her lips.
Parsons called Mrs. Deivggie back
when his wife fainted. Physicians were
summoned and Mrs. Parsons was
rushed to a hospital. At the hos
pital, the physicians at first despaired
of the recovery of Mrs. Parsons.
“We must make a transfusion of
blood,” said one of the doctors. The
husband declared he was willing to
give his blood, and a pint was drawn
from his veins.
When recovery appeared certain, the
police began an investigation of the
ease. They discovered that Mrs. Par
sons had been a patient in an Illinois
hospital when her husband met the
“other woman.” Parsons and Mrs.
Deivggie later are said to have made
a complete confession of their affairs.
The “other woman” was ordered to
give up Pai'sons.
“I will,” replied Mrs. Deivggie. “I
have been married twice, but Parsons
is the first man I ever really loved,”
