Schweinfurth has weakened and pro-
cured Il marriage license for himself
and Mary l.. Weldon, one of his dupeS,
giving their ages as forty-two and thirty
five respectively. The license was pro-
cured by one of his disciples, though
to-day for some reason or other the
savior denied that it was by his author
ity that the license was procured A

furth'S chirogaphy proved them to be
identical. There is now no doubt that,
frightened by the pressure of public
opinion, Schweinfurth intends to marry
the woman. This step is regarded as
a practical confession of his guilt and
has not tended in the least to allay pub
lie opinion against him. How he is to
make n reparation to his other dupes
his disciples do not explain.
