in 1904, Laurie M. Edwards discovered that his wife Mary was in some way involved with opera singer Domenico Russo: he confronted her, she left him (bringing their toddler with her), he followed them to a resort in California where he kidnapped the child, she filed for divorce, he refused to respond... it was a huge mess. I really don't know what happened. Meanwhile, Russo said that Mary was not a very good singer.
