Woman Dishwasher, Once Wife of
Millionaire, Leaves Savannah
With Man Who Lured Her.
SAVANNAH, Sept. 6.—"I’ll go with
you if you’ll be good to me,” said Mrs.
Millie Gotthelf-Gunderman, former
wife of a millionaire lace merchant
Of New York, to her second hllfb&nd,
Antone Gunderman, of Augusta, from
whom she ran away several weeks
ago, when he called her from her
work as dishwasher In a little res
taurant here. The reply of the hus
band was in an undertone, but it evi
dently pleased the woman, for she
immediately quit her menial position
and left with him to take a train.
"I’m going to New York to live,”
she told other employees of the res
taurant.
Through the police and the Associ
ated Charities the Augusta husband
learned of her whereabouts. She had
left him without cause, he said, but
he wanted her back. He came here
to find her. Gunderman did not re
semble the dapper young musician
and engineer with whom the pretty
Mrs. Gotthelf eloped. He was also
shabbily dressed. Time had worked
as great a change in his appearance
as in that of his wife. But he wanted
his wife back, and he meant to do
everything lie could to induce her to
return with him. He obtained his
wife’s address from the Associated
Charities.
"I’ll let you know if I find her," he
promised. But he w f as apparently so
overjoyed when she consented to re
turn to Augusta with *him that he
forgot the promise. That was the
last the Associated Charities heard of
him. At the restaurant it was said
that Mrs. Gunderman, under the
name of Mrs. Sichel, had worked
there, but that she had left with a
man.
"Her husband came after her. said
a waiter. "She told us she was going
back to New York wdth him. She
has alw’ays said she lived in New
York. I heard her tell him that she
would go w’lth him if he would be
good to her. We knew' she had left
her husband. But she never told us
why. We never knew that she was
ever the wife of a rich man. She
was a good dishwasher."
