The child's parents lived together as man and wife.
Having first become acquainted With Miss Capron at

acquaintance afterwards ripened Into more per-
manent friendship, and, unknown 10 the parents or
either, they associated together for time, until
OF last Flynn brought home MISS Capron as his
wife. NO evidence OF this marriage has ever been
produced.
After living in New York for some time they re-
moved TO Merose, where, after short time the IN
