| ing at the license Mr.. Warner discovered
that each of the parties was set down as
divorced. The rule of the Episcopal
church is that divorced person cannot be
remarked without sufficient evidence to
show that person the innocent party to the
separation. This rule was explained and
the explanation was offered in re-
turn that they were DIVORCED, but
| had been divorced from each other.
Their statement did not satisfy
the clergyman, and he again refused to
perform the ceremony without seeing the
divorce papers. With this the prospective
bride and groom went away. They after
ward proceeded to Rev. Mr.. Garner, who
tied the nuptial knot. The name of the
groom is Hugh O'Flaherty, that of the
bride Mrs. Emma Austin.
For years Mr.. O'Flaherty has been one
of the best known attorneys in Hartford
where he has large practice. He is {
Catholic by religion.
Ten years ago on account of domestic
trouble they were divorced. In the mean
time Mrs. OFlaherty married Mr.. Aus
tin. She was divorced from him. Their

her former husband. He, on his part
was willing to begin over again, and I
second marriage was the outcome.
