The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-11-05

Romeo Graziano spent the second
night of his honeymoon behind prison
bars. depressed of course, in spirits,
but undaunted for he is imbued with
the elf-consciousness that he is suf-
fcring for a good cause. Like his
Shakespearian namesake, his troubles
are begotten from his falling in love
with the daughter of a house in which
there was and is no regard for him
or any one belonging to him.
Romeo is a barber in a shop in
basement next to Green's pawnshop
on lower Lackawanna avenue. The
girl in the case is Lizzie Fel1man,
daughter of Mrs. Feldman, of Ray
mand court, a well-to-do- woman Of
Jewish descent. The age of the girl
is in dispute. Her mother alleges it is
only 16, but the girl says she is Is.
Be that as 1t may, she is under age,
but love laughs at greater obstacles
than locksmiths, and the couple chose
the same way out of the difficulty or
obtaining parental consent. which is
an essential requisite in this state, tow
ard securing marriage license, by
doing what many another couple did
before them.
MARRIED IN BINGHAMTON.
They went to Binghamton on the $50
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
train Thursday afternoon and were
married at $50 that evening by Alder
man Thompson in the Parlor City. The
$40 train last night brought them back
to Scranton, and from the station in a
cab they were driven to the groom $
quarters In Raymond court, not many
doors from the Feldman homestead.
II was their intention to wait till this
morning, and then Romeo had it ell
planned to make a Call on his wife :
relations, ask for their blessings, ami
lay the foundation Of harmony.
As he was preparing a nice speech
for his mother-in-law to hear, who
should loom up in the horizon but
Special officer Jack Tierney at the
front door with a warrant from AL
derman Millar, sworn out by Mrs Field
man, and charging Romeo with threats
and intending to kill. The groom was
arrested, brought to the alderman $
office for Il hearing and in default of
bail committed to the Center street po-
lice to give him a chance to secure a
bondsman.
He alleges that the charge OF threats
is trumped up as an excuse to get
him to Jail, hoping to ALLEVIATE his wife
and lay ground for divorce. The OBJ
| lection the Feldmans have to the mar
riage arises from Romeo's nationality.
| He is an Italian, land a good blocking
young fellow. He came to this country
| three years ago and in that brief time
| he has acquired II ready command of
| English.
| WHAT ROMEO SAYS.
Mrs. Feldman. he says, warned him
some time ago that if he persisted in
paying attention to Lizzie that she
| would put him out of the way He
| responded by saying IL she did there
| might be others tooput out of the way,
intending no harm and having m
| meaning further than to indicate "a
! her that the law would deal Witl.
| her if she became so rash.
He would like to live on good terms
| with his mother-in-law, but if they
! are not satisfied to do that he feels
competent to get along without them
| He met the girl six months ago for
the first time. She went willingly tc
| BinGhamton and declares she loves
| him. With this statement Romeo is con-
tent, even though behind prison bars
