Suit has been filed in the equity branch
of the Supreme Court of the District
against Mary Sheridan, otherwise known
as Mary Kane, for the purpose of having
the court declare her marriage with John
Kane null and void. The latter, 1t is stat
ed. is a person of unsound mind and in
1895 was adjudged a lunatic and ordered
to be committed to the Government Hospi-
tai for the Insane.
The complainant in the suit is Edward
J. Stellwagen, who was appointed COM
mittee by the court to take charge Of the
person and estate OF the adjudged luna
tic.
1t is explained that on March %, 1895,
Kane, who is eighty years OF age, was
adjudged Ct unsolnd mind and committed
to the Government Asylum FOR the Insane
for treatment. His condition so improved
that some time ago he was released from
the institution. 1t is also stated that
Kane is now almost entirely deaf and
blind and unable TO walk alone. He is the
owner, it is stated, Of premises 91S First
Street northwest, which is valued at
1900.
1t is further alleged that, knowing
Kane's mental and physical condition, but
determining to possess herself Of his prop
erty, the defendant. Mary Sheridan. other
wise known as Mary Kane. on July 2,
last. procured marriage license, stating
Kane's age TO be fifty-three years ard her
own as thirty-une years. when. in fact,
Kane's age is eighty years and her own
fifty years.
1t is also stated that before the marriage
ceremony was performed, the defendant
was warned that Kane was of unsound
mind and not competent to make a con-
tract.

T. Cane, fifty-three years of age and
Mary Sheridan, thirty-one years OF age.
The record also shows that the licens-~
was applied for by Kane or Cane In person,
or some one representing himself as such.
