This afternoon, William Pinkerton, of the Pinkerton Detective agency, received a letter from Dr. Steinriede begging him to find his wife and return her to him. Shortly after receiving the letter Mr. Pinkerton happened to be in the City Detective Department of the City Hall, when a handsome but careworn woman entered and asked to be shown a detective. She explained that she was Mrs. Annie Steenriede [sic], and that she was destitute. She said then she had not been unfaithful to her husband, but left him because of his cruelty, and in St. Luis met a former negro servant by accident, which meeting she supposed gave rise to the elopement story. Coming to Chicago she had been obliged to work since as an ordinary domestic. Mrs. Steinriede was placed in the witness cell at the Armory and to-morrow will be returned to her husband and children" New York Tribune, May 6, 1885.
