 SLOANE-BELMONT WEDDING.

formed That Mrs. Sloane Would be n
 Divorcee When She Arrived fn Green-
 vvich-Fee Raised from $e5O to $500.
 Greenwich, June 22.-The action of the
 General Association of Congregational Ministers of Connecticut at their meet ing in New Haven yesterday in censur- ing Rev. w. M. Barrows for marrying Perry Belmont and Mrs Henry D. Sloane recently has occasioned much comment here, as likewise the statement that MT. Barrows personally apologized to the ministers and claimed that he had been imposed upon. Immediately after the occurrence Mr. Barrows appeared before a meeting of the Greenwich min isters and they exonerated him from all blame in connection with the affair MT. Hubbard, the lawyer who is credited with arranging for the wedding, also appeared before meeting of the church committee right after the affair hap pened and explained his connection with the case, and he was also exculpat- ed. In view of the publicity again given the case by the action of the ministers at their meeting in New Haven, and the claim of MT. Barrows that he had been imposed upon, Attorney Hubbard makes statement in brief as follows:
 MT. Hubbard claims that he had only a two-minutes' conversation with the Rev Dr. Barrows on Thursday night, April 27. Dr. Barrows was told that Mrs. Sloane would be a divorced wo- man when she arrived in Greenwich, and that the marriage would be mat ter of newspaper notoriety. The fee offered was $250 The next morning pr. Barrows called at MT. Hubbard's office and house and stated that he passed restless night cogitating on the subject, and finally concluded that he could not marry the pair MT. Hubbard alleges that he was in New York the next day and therefore did not see MT Barrows, as otherwise he would have excused him. That afternoon (Friday) MT. Sul- livan, representative of Mrs. Sloane came from New York city and called at the parsonage. Dr. Barrows admitted that on the previous day he had prom 1sed to perform the ceremony, but now hesitated because of the notoriety 1t would bring to him. MT. Sullivan wish ed the marriage performed that night | instead of the following day Saturday, | and doubled the fee offered by Attorney | Hubbard. MT. Hubbard says that no | deception was practiced by him or MT. Sullivan upon the minister, and that | the subject of who was the guilty party i was not discussed. Certainly I did not | deceive him." MT. Hubbard says, "al- | though told him enough to cause him | to back out" MT. Belmont and Mrs. | Sloane did not deceive him, as they had | no conversation with him whatever be- yond formal greeting. This also is asserted by Mr. Hubbard. MT. Hubbard maintains that his connections with the affair ceased with the appearance of MT. Sullivan, and that it was the latter who persuaded the minister to perform the ceremony.
