Ryan, but he had heard that Allen deserted his wife in Fort Wayne and had gone to South Carolina with another woman and had lived with her as his wife. As soon as Allen had told his story against his wife, Judge Ryan gave Former Judge Ballou a chance to question the witness. Allen admitted that he had left his wife Fayma in Fort Wayne and that he had gone to South Carolina to visit his parents and that he was soon joined by another Fort Wayne woman who he had held forth as his wife. Allen said the woman who had joined him in South Carolina was a nurse who was caring for him. He said his health had been shattered by shell shock suffered during the World war.
