Rembrandt Fined 500.

Conley was man of some means. and
his wife had become infatuated with the
artist while taking painting lessons from
him, their elopement 10 Atlanta being the
consequence. Conley went back to his
Texas home and got a divorce. As soon
as the news of this reached Atlanta there
was a marriage ceremony at this end of
the line. and when the pair was arraigned
in court, the production of the marriage
certificate stopped further prosecution. A
fine of 800 was dropped on Rembrandt for
the part he had played with his pistol
which will probably serve as a substantial
reminder to him of the manner in which
he came by his wife.
There was no development to-day in the
