Dyes Kiddies' Hair Red to Fool Father

1920

Mother Also Adopts New Names, but All Are Found

DETROIT, Mich., March 25. -- John Evart, a member of the Toledo water board, is seeking the aid of the Wayne Probate Court in recovering his five children, the eldest 15 years old, who, he alleges, were taken by their mother when she deserted her home and came to Detroit, about a month ago.

Evart located his children after a long search. His wife had changed her name to Clara Bell Edwards, and also changed the names of all the children, and had colored their hair red, the father alleges.

Evart learned that his wife was employed in the United States Government store here and was living over the store.
