humor over the transaction
The deed, to which reference is made
in the foregoing, was made October ~,
1892, while the marriage OF Mr.. Trump
and Mrs. Andervont, did not take place
until later, the marriage license being
dated October 20, two days after the prop-

keep the matter quiet and especially to
keep the fact OF the property considera-

Trump, however, consulted j. j. Clark,
who advised that the deed be recorded,
lest something should occur. In con-
sultation with a friend Mr.. Trump init
