nine children call Mrs. Campbell
"Mother.” Neither home was broken
up; the Campbells and Marcums
lived, apparently, normal lives.
In 1922 Mrs. Marcum, in an effort
to save her family, induced her hus-
band to move to Seattle. Soon
afterward, Campbell began receiv-
ing glowing letters from Marcum,
whom Campbell believed to be his
beat friend, urging him to bring the
Campbells to Seattle. Campbell did.
Marcum and Mrs. Campbell were
reunited.
In February Marcum and Mrs.
Campbell -disappeared. They were
located, after efforts by two de-
serted spouses and most of the 20
children, in Oakland, Calif. They
were arrested there the other day.
