GIRLS RUSE TO ESCAPE.
CLAIMS THAT SHE WAS MARRIED
IN WILMINGTON SEPTEMBER IA
TO HARRY SEABREEZE.

Rev. Ezra Tinker to-day received a
communication from John T. Welch,
police justice of the northeastern dis
trict, Baltimore city, asking him for in
formation concerning the marriage of
one Harry Seabreeze in this city on
September a.
Justice Welch states that Miss Cecilia
Butt was brought before him for incor-
rigibility, but claimed in defence that
she was married in Wilmington on Sep
tember IA to Seabreeze, and her de-
scription of the clergyman and church
tailed so with DR.. Tinker and Asbury
Church that her liberty would probably
be in the hands of the minister to whom
the note was sent.
By examination of newspaper files nc
publication Of the marriage could be
found, and as DR.. Tinker had no such
a marriage, Miss Butt was doubtless
giving the authorities clever ruse tC
regain her freedom.
