Sept. 13, 1919: "That Guiltiest Feeling" by Clare Briggs.

Sept. 13, 1919, Triangle  

Mr. Huber was spending lots of time on the phone, so his wife decided to investigate, especially since he began talking about it in his sleep.  Mr. Huber told his wife that the phone belonged to a man — but in fact it was the number of Mrs. Greer, who had recently separated from her husband. One night after her husband left in his car, Mrs. Huber decided to follow in a taxicab. After he picked up Mrs. Greer, Mrs. Huber had the cabdriver chase them. When the cars were side by side on Figueroa, Mrs. Huber jumped from the taxi to the running board of her husband's car and told him off.
