Peter Kupinski, fifty-five years old, OF
No. 562 Henderson street. and Mrs. Annie
Toczylowski thirty-six years old, OF NO
457 Henderson street, were united in mar
riage last evening at seven o'clock by
Father Kwicatkowski, of st. Anthony S
Polish Church, Monmouth and Sixth
streets. Kupinski's bride was widow
with three children She promised him
her hand last Christmas but on the

because she had ascertained his age ne
did not feel very bad, but at once started
to seek another bride.

Her love for him only lasted while ne
gave her presents, and she is now spend
ing a vacation in the County Jail await

Kupinski had her brought to court for
keeping two gold rings, pair OF ear
rings and her wedding dress. when ne
wanted back because she refused 70
"marry an old fool like him." she re
marked that she would rather rot IN Ja'i
than marry him.
Kupinskin told Judge Hoos at that
time that he would not press the cnarge
if she would become his wife, but she
couldn't see 1t that way and as she re-
fused to return the gifts she is now
resticating on the hill and it will not pc
long before she will journey to the county
suburb to a little place called snake
Hill. where she will complete her vaca-
ton.

NEVIN ASKS EXPLANATION
Doesn't Like Report That He
Was in Trouble.

Former PoAce Justice John ]. Nevin
appeared in the First Criminal Court this
morning and after asking permission to
interrupt the proceedings for few mo-
ments, asked Justice Hoos if he had been
correctly quoted in the Harvey investi-
cation case, Saturday, as saying:-
You got Justice Nevin in trouble"
The former Justice called attention to
the fact that the local and New York
papers had so quoted Justice Hoos as
saying so. He was vexed at such re-
port, feeling that it was calculated to
lead many to think that he had in some
discreditable manner become involved in
a transaction with Harney.
Justice Hoos had had Harney hailed into
court after having heard a rumor to the
effect that Harvey had collected SS4 from
Mary Chunkey, Polish woman, whose
husband had been sent to the pententiary
in default of the payment of $40 fine and
costs for beating her while she was in
delicate condition, and that Mrs. Chunkey
and her friends, believing that the money
had been paid over to the court, were
wondering why Chunkey was not liber-
ated.
Justice Hoos told the former Justice
that nothing could have been farther
from his mind than to say anything that
would reflect adversely upon him. He
said he told Harvey that he (Harney)
had come near putting Justice Nevin in
trouble. and that what he meant by that
was that he had been told that Justice
Nevin had been caused considerable an
noyance and worriment by actions similar
to those which led him to hale Harney
into court for investigation.
The former Justice said he could not
afford to allow the impression to go forth
that he had allowed Harvey to put him in
trouble. He said he had never had one
iota of trouble while he was on the bench.
