The many remarkable crimes aud
romances which during the past three
years have rendered the Eastern shore
Of Maryland and Virginia so notori.
Gus have just been supplemented by
an incident which fully sustains the
reputation Of the shore for strange &C.
currcnccs. Last week Ella Shores,
age II, wa. married 10 Howard f..
White, aged lG, of Dame Quarter
District. The interest attached to
this ceremony will be apparent when
ii is stated that the girl was the di.
vorced wife Of her stepiaiher, Syduey
Shores, aged 10. On February ,.
1880. 'he Rev. Mr. Bowen married
Shores aud the girl, then II years old.
On the Jth of the same month Shores
was arrested ut his home, in Danes
Quarter, aud the Rev. Mr.. Bowen
was arrested in Mt. Vernon and taken
before Justice Robinson, of Princess
Anne. aud committed to Jail in default
of bail. Shores had married bis un-
cle's widow aud she had not been
dead more than two months when he
induced Ella. his wifc's daughter by
her first husband, TO marry him, a.
stated. The child was too young to
know any better and no blame was
attached TO her. In this State
penalty Of $500 IL imposed upon
man for marrying his step.daughtcr,
aud the minister is fined 81 800
for performing the ceremony. Both
Shores and Bowen were indicted at the
April term Of court. 1880. Both trials
took place during the same term. Sho.
res was convicted and fine OF $500
was imposed upon him-he to stand
committed until fine and costs were
paid. The convict was poor man
aud it looked a. though the groom
would pass the remainder of his days
in Jail. Fortune favored him. how.
ever, aud he escaped from Jail on May
90. 1850. Mr. Bowen was tried aud
acquitted on the ground that he did
not know the girl or the affinity exist
ing between her aud Shores. The mar
riagc Of Shores aud Ella WAS annulled
by the court. Ii will be seen that on
the same day Of the same month two
years after her first marriage Ella
Shores was for the second time mar
ried although only II years old.
