DID SHE WE'D A WOMANy
The Alleged BeckwIth.Sherman MARRIAGE
Said to Have Keen . Fraud

PROVIDENCE. Feb 5.-The case Of the alleged
marriage OF the Widow Sherman and Million
aire Beckwith has now reached a stage
wherein the family Of the dead capitalist
claims to have proof that the person who i'm
rersonatcd Mr.. Bechwith In tho secret mar
riage Mt Elder Cottrell's house was n woman,
and not Mr.. Beckwith. Mrs. Sherman. the
woman. was divorced not many years ago. and
then went to the Dexter asylum as q nurse.
After her advent into the Beckwith household
the manufacturer was warned that she would
heartily mt the idea.
The Bcckwith family contend that the same
person who went to the COttrell house on the
night IF May IL. 1883. made the visit, the next
groom. At no time was any talking done by
the companion OF Mrs. Sherman and tho evi-
denco is abundant the family says. to show
tina, the I'd man was an incessant, talker. and
destine marriage IN the. backwoods to have
passed without some lively expressions. Mrs.
sherman will try to show that she left the
Beckwith household because Of the eccentri-
turn until he promised to marry her.
