MARTINS FERRY.

George Mason aud his paramour. who
were arrested for living together as
man and wife, had q hearing yesterday
and plead guilty to the charge brought
against them. The Mayor reserved his
decision until to-day. The girls father,
who Is a restaurant proprietor on Penn
street In Plttsburg, was telegraphed Tor
and is expected TO arrive here to take
his daughter home. The woman who
claimed to be Mason's wife and who
had the couple arrested Is not
the mans wife, but woman
with whom he has been living as his
wife. She is mother Of two of his chill
dren, one that she has with her being
| babe about six weeks old. He deserted
this woman In Plttsburg and came here
with his last victim, when she got on
his track and caused him the ABOVE
trouble. She put in about all day yes
terday at the jail trying TO get him TO
marry her, and the two women came
almost to blows several times over their
unfaithfui lover and they were only
prevented from doing each other harm
| by the interference Of the officers. To-
| day will decide the fate Of the unfortu-
mates, as it is thought that the authori-
ties will let them of light if Mason
rights the wrongs OF his first love by
marrying her, and the father OF the girl
will take his erring daughter home.
