A law case that has set all society talking In
the two greatest English speaking cities of the
world, London and New York, is the appeal of
Mrs. Alice Cooper Crane in London to have her
marriage annulled. The grounds OF the appli-
cation are certainly the most extraordinary
ever made before court of justice. Miss Alice
Cooper was born in New York, and has lived
many years with her widowed mother in the
fashionable Pau. Her cousin, Walter Beverley
Crane, met her there, and he although but IS,
asely infatuated with her. A year or more after
pretext of ride to St PauPs,
young Crane inveigled Miss Cooper into
carriage. 1t was driven rapidly
70 st. Brides church, and on the way Crane
drew from his pocket pistol and threatened to
blow out his brains instantly if she did not con-
sent 70 marry him. In very great fright Miss
cooper consented, and the marriage ceremony
was performed. Crane at once left for the
ohited states. and the pair have never since
mee The English Judge refused to annul the
marriage, stating that Mrs. Crane proved too
mncn. waiter Crane, who comes from wealthy
ana aristocrstc family, and is now in New
iorK, says that the story is a piece of fiction
"nieh ne had agreed not to deny in order to
promote the divorce. "The whole affair."" he
tass, was piece Of youthful folly and infatua-
''ou me marriage was opposed by his par
cuts ne met Miss Cooper in London, and they
were married with her fun cooperation. Their
'estefs grew cold Crane has not seen his wife
Hnce ana now she probably wants to marry
somebody else. and has taken this extraordinary
step TO obtain divorce
