The woman's motive for her raSn dcI

The San Francisco call., 1899-07-28

Shortly before l o'clock in the after
noon an attorney went 10 the Oakland
marriage license office and secured a
license The document stated that the
prospective husband was William Clio
ria. a native of Portugal 81 years of
age. and the prospective bride was An
ME Beatrice Collins, a native of Hay
wards % years Of age. After the Ii
cense had been secured there was more
parleying. Both the man and the wo
man sought to keep secret the time and
the place of their marriage They had
sought publicity and then shrank from
il.
Telephone meSSa geS were sent around
town to locate a Justice of the Peace
70 perform the marriage ceremony. At
last Justice of the Peace John w. Stet-
son was found and he agreed to make
the clergyman and the woman man and
wife The time was set as $50 o'clock
and the place the apartments of Miss
Collins in the Davis block.
Promptly at that hour Justice of the
Peace John W. Stetson, Annie Collins,
Lizzie Collins, f. NJ Gibson and
Father Gloria assembled in the
rooms. Father Gloria had dis
carded his garb of the priest. When
he had stepped from the parochial
home in the morning he had left behind
every sign and symbol Of his calling.
The woman was garbed in a tailor
made gown. The lines of care had
vanished from her face and the look Of
anxiety had disappeared from her eyes.
She was radiant in smiles for after
years of restless pleading her moment
of triumph had come. What she gain
ed her husband lost. Her victory was
her husbands s humiliation.
Father Gloria and Miss Collins stood
before the Justice with their hands
clasped Behind them We're +. NJ. Glib
son and Lizzie Collins as witnesses.
The words of the marriage ceremony
were said Father Gloria kissed his
bride and the romance which began SO
many years ago in the little church at
san Leandro had reached its strange
conclusion.
William Gloria and his wife will
start at once on their honeymoon jour
ney. Their child Will be left for a
while in the keeping of its foster
mother until Gloria can locate himself.
He expects to secure employment as q
linguist but his only expectation is
based upon his ability, not upon a
definite prospect. 1t is likely that he
wiz return to Oakland, but this is a
proba bility that is by no means a Ger
tainty. There was some hope that he
intended to enter the ministry. but this
is emphatically denied by his friends.

saved from a horrible death by blood polS-
oning. For nearly week he was tredteu

reality he was suffering with liberated
teeth. At one time Mrs. Martin had prac-

child. who is the light of her household
and general favorite with all her
friends. but owing TO the quick work OF
DR.. f. H Woolsey the lads life was
spared.
week ago Sunday little John was
taken sick with a swelling in his race
Mrs Martin called in a young physician
whose name she has divulged to no one
and was told that it was case of mumps.
On Friday she discovered an apScess
about to break on her Childs neck. She
was Mortified by the thought that perhaps
little John would be SCARED for the rest
of his days, or what was worse, pe ldhel
off after a period of terrible suffering

upon the streets. Father Gloria had
left the rarochial residence in which
he had ruled so long. His trunk was
packed and ready for removal at his
direction. He was in the apartments Of
his contract wife in the Davis block.

san Pablo, was in charge OF the church
W hilh Father Gloria had 50 deeply in
jured. As far as the church was con-
cerned the unfortunate affair was
ended. The church authorities viii
strive with every energy to make
amends for the evil for which they
were not responsible and which they
could not prevent.
During the morning there was much
hurrying between the offices Of AttOr-
ney +. NJ Gibson and the rooms Of

the legal adviser Of the woman for over
a year. Her brother and sister came
in from Haywards 40 consult with her.
