MARRYING FOR MONEY
Is the Regular Business of a Man
Who Found One Local Victim.
WIVES ROBBED AND DESERTED.
Romantic Circumstances Surrounding His
Most Recent Wedding.
TWO CEREMONIES WITHIN ONE MONTH

On October 90 of this year, man giving
his name as j. NJ. Ingle and claiming to own
a cattle ranch at Ell Paso, was married in
the st. James Hotel to Mrs. Walker,
Mansfield widow. A few hours after the
marriage her new lord and master skipped
out with several hundred dollars belonging
to her. The wife found herself deserted at
the beginning OF the honeymoon.
Nothing had been heard of Ingle since,
until yesterday Frank Newell, clerk of the
st. James, received letter and a news
paper clipping from gentleman in Niagara
Falls giving an account of another marriage
and the quick desertion of the wife, the
husband taking considerable of her money.
The writer Was at the st. James Hotel
when Mrs. Walker was married, and he re-
membered Ingle very we'll.
Only q Change Of Name.
The description of the fellow who victim
lied the second woman tallies with that of
Ingle, though he is now known as James
TAYLOR, and this time he halls from Taylor
vile, Cal. The Niagara man is confident
that Ingle and TAYLOR are the same, and he
wonders how long he will be able to keep
up the slick marriage game before striking
a snag.
The story of the latest victim is quite.
romantic, and shows how gnllible innocent
females on marriage bent can be. Marie
GOsslin came over from Paris several
months ago to act as maid for Mrs. McMil
Ian, of Detroit, the wife of the Michigan
ex-senator. She didn't like the place, and
went to Niagara Falls to locate. She had
saved $3.50 and had $500 in French bonds.
Then Marie got tired of single blessedness,
and longed for husband.
She Had Money and Wanted to Wed.
She advertised for the acquaintance of an
elderly gentleman about 80 years old and
having good business abilities She said
she was 36, and matrmony was her object.
incidentally she had little money, and so
would not wed empty handed. Marie re-
ceived numerous replies, but q letter from
Taylor particularly pleased her. He was
wealthy widower, and had two handsome
daughters at his home in California. Miss
Gosslin liked Taylor's style, and they were
married by an Alderman in Niagara Falls
Preparations were made at once to return
to Taylorsville. Before he could go home,
however, Taylor had to collect bill for
two horses from Mr.. Wood. of Irvington.
They registered at hotel at Suspension
Bridge. The loving husband was much at
tracted with diamond ring on his wife's
finger, and in the innocence of her soul she
gave it to him with the $500 to put in the
hotel safe. He was nervous and dreadfully
afraid she would be robbed.
Conspicuous by His Absence.
That was the last Marie saw of Taylor
He disappeared like the mist before the
morning sun. The hotel clerk said he had
not delivered the valuables at the office,
and then the wife knew she had been de-
ceived. and there was wailing and gnashing
of teeth. Mrs. Taylor has put the case into
Inspector Byrnes' hands in New York, and
he hopes to bring Taylor to justice.
He is described as a man about 80 years
old, with light complexion. bald spot on the
crown of his head and with the right arm
cut off between the elbow and wrist. Frank
Newell and the Niagara gentleman say that
Ingle answers the description in every de-
tail, and they are confident he is the fellow.
He is evidently bold, bad man and
clever one to be able to rob two women with
the same game inside of month.
