WAS FORCED TO MARRY
Kitten" Prentiss Welded to a
Brooklyn. Girl Last Tuesday.
BEST MAN WAS THE sABRlFF

BETRAYED THE CONFIDENCE OF
MISS KLOBEDANZE AND WAS
Compelled TO MARRY HER AT
WATERBURY,. CONN, BY THE
AUTHORITIES.
MARRIEEeszAt Waterbury, Conn. on
June 20. 1899 by Rev. DR.. Davenport,
George Prentiss, of Wilmington,
Del. and Miss Emma .Klobedanze, of
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The explanation of the foregoing an
nouncement is contained in the follow
ing article from a New England paper
of June %.
There was no wedding march played
at a wedding ceremony performed in
Waterbury on Tuesday night. There
was no handsomely gowned bridesmaid
nor best man. The only two not di-
rectly interested in the ceremony was
that stern limb of the law, Sheriff Rig
ney and the man who had done much
to bring the contracting parties to-
gether, Attorney James Russell.
The groom was George Prentiss, the
well-known and good looking baseball
player, who is the star pitcher of the
Waterbury team, and the bride was
Emma Klobedanze, a Brooklyn girl,
whose brother was also a famous ball
player up till recently in the National
League.
There was little il any love in the
marriage on the part of Prentiss, and
he would never have entered the mat
rimonial boat with Emma had it not
been for the persuasive power of a writ
in the hands of Sheriff Rigney, charg-
ing him with betraying her. Even
then George did not care to consent to
a marriage and was very reluctant
about it. He gave as his cause that
he was engaged to a very respectable
young woman at his home in Whining
ton, Del, and was to marry her at the
end of the present ball season.
But Emma wanted the ceremony to
go on. All last year she had been a
regular attendant at the ball games
and started with the first games this
season, and it was after the first game
that the alleged act making her a
mother took place. She had complain
ed to Attorney Russell a week before
and because of a rush of business the
sheriff did not have time to serve the
writ on Prentiss. Even after reaching
the Court House Prentiss demurred
about the cermony being performed
and only consented upon being taken
toward a cell downstairs.
He was caught about o'clock al
night, but the ceremony did not take
place till IL, when Rev. DR.. Davenport
was summoned from his bed to tie the
knot at the parsonage on Central ave
nue..
After the ceremony both departed in
the direction of their homes. one OF
Field street and the other one James
street in the Brooklyn district.

LICE COMMISSION LAST NIGHT.

charge Of larceny from Stern Bros.
but that the charge was afterward
changed to that OF disorderly conduct.

was arraigned in the police court Cap
tain Kane went 10 the city solicitor
and told him that Mr.. Stern want
ed the case dropped. Stern
lso went to the city solicitor
and expressed a wish to have the case
dropped The commission decided the
action taken by the captain was
against the best interest Of the depart
ment.

man Thurman, charged with neglect OF
duty, was continued until Thursday
