the fotberies of railroad stations which
had been going on for a long time.

into and tickets ash stolen. Nell
lie, II was claimed. was responsible for

girl Is in jail awaiting trial. The latest
robbery took place at the Hasbrouck
Heights station, which Is two miles
from. Paramount. where Nellie was
caught red-handed.

MARRIED BROTHERS.

Doran Married Frank.

braided for Her Perfidy.
Guilty Couple Caught in q Horse-
Car and the Woman Held.

When Rose Doran. aged twenty-seven
years. of $50 East Ninth street, was
arraigned in the Yorkville Police Court
this morning the Justice, court officers
and spectators were amazed at the de-
tails of one OF the most peculiar matri-
monial cases on record.
The complainant against Rose was
her husband, John j.. Doran, and the
specific charge is that she refused to
live with him. The proceedings devel-
oped the fact that while married to
John, Rose ran away with his brother,
Frank, and married him.
John and Rose were married ten years
ago. For six years they lived together.
Brother Frank had been particularly at
tentive to his sister-in-law and John
protested against what seemed to him
more than brotherly and sisterly affec-
ton.
Finally three years ago he was told
that Frank and Rose had been married
secretly, and when he accused Rose she
left him. He ascertained that she went
to live with Frank. Then John lost all
knowledge of the whereabouts OF his
wife or his faithless brother.
John boarded a Third avenue car at
Eighteenth street, to ride uptown yes
terday. and was amazed to find Rose
and Frank on the car. For a time
there was a lively conversation among
the three, n Frank finally admitted
that he had married Rose. The woman,
however, remained silent.
Frank feared hat trouble was at
hand. and rushed out Of the car, leaving
John and Rose together. John was
not going to let him escape so easily,
however. and darted after him. Rose
brought up the rear of the procession.
AS the three reached the sidewalk
Frank drew a knife and made a plunge
at John. The weapon missed its mark
and the injured husband received only
a slight cut in the hand.
There was a general yell for the police,
and during the excitement Frank man.
aged to get away John, who thought
he had been seriously cut, held on to
Rose. n the policeman who came
along arrested her and locked her up in
the East Twenty-second street police
station.
When arraigned In court this morning
Rose denied that she ever married John,
ard insisted that there was never any
thing more h a c~ommon-law marriage
binding them.
Justice Teitner said ne would give
John a CHI nee 10 prove his wife a biga-
mist. He then remanded the woman for
examination until Wednesday.
