wedding. The course of true love in
this case, as in many others, did not
run smoothly, and the marriage WAS
broken OFT on account of a difference of

interchanged and arrangements for
the wedding were made three separate
times thereafter through reconciliations,
and finally the third time the marriage
took place in Baltimore. Two days
after the wedding Richie blew his
brains out with a shotgun, and, being
left widow in stfluence, Mrs. Richie
