The peculiar and tragic case of the
marriage of Homer Garvin to Miss
Ethlyn Griffith has been decided in
the Morgan county court at Jackson
vile. On May % last the couple
was apparently happily married at
the home of the bride in this city,
and after the usual wedding supper,
left on the afternoon train for the
western coast. Before reaching Bur
lington the bride noticed the groom
to be laboring under great mental ex-
citement and disturbance. This con-
dition Increased and at Denver, Colo
RADIO, where the young couple stopped
to visit relatives, his friends endorsed
her worst fears, and she concluded to
return home with him. She tele-
graphed to friends here to meet her
at Burlington as Homer was insane
and she was bringing him home She
came home to her mother in this city
and he was taken to Jacksonville.
The bride then sought legal advice as
to whether she was legally the. wife OF
Homer Garvin, if it could be proved
that he was insane at the time the
ceremony was performed. The result
OF the investigation was the decision
Of the county court of Morgan county
which adjudged and declared the mar
riage to be absolutely void on the
ground that Mr.. Garvin was at the
time insane.

AN INDIANA LIE.
Perpetual Motion Discovered (D
Aqain-Took Seventy Years.


Isaac Perry, of some place in Indi-
ana, the fakir who wrote the story re-
fuses to say where, aged 81 years,
claims to have solved perpetual mo-
ton after seventy years hard study.
He lives on farm and owns 200 acres
of ground in the cement district OF
this county CD, for which he was re-
Gently offered $120,00O
After exacting a, promise from a
friend that he would not disclose the
secret Perry led the way to his work
shop. Approaching what seemed to
be good sized tin can Mr.. Perry lift
ed this up and disclosed the machine,
claimed to be perfect, the attempted
perfection of which has made thou
sands of others lunatics or suicides
The visitor stood in awe-inspired
amazement looking at the collection
of parts that seventy years had been
spent in perfecting. Mr.. Perry touch
ed lever and the wheels began turn
ing with lightning-like rapidity. Lit
tie iron balls lodged in and out so
rapidly that they could not be seen,
each having a certain part to perform
with a seeming human precision.
Mr.. Perry'S guest gave the machine
| close inspection and says there was
no propelling power except the iron
balls, no springs to be wound up and
| run down after the visitor left, no
weights, nothing but the spheres fit
ting around in promiscuously queer
| way to all appearances, each follow
ing the other in reality with an en-
chanting precision.
A belt was shifted onto a pulley
which set circular saw in motion so
| fast that it seemed to be standing
still. After watching it run for some
time, Mr.. Perry touched the lever and
the wheels came to standstill.
Replacing the cover Mr.. Perry re.
marked that he would not exchange
