An upright soldier-like young man, with
his dark mustache brushed out straight,

Peculiar Incident IN Coast City
Which Revives Story of
Brutal Murder-Purely a
Business Matter.

From Tacoma Ledger. Sept 81
Mrs Mauret yesterday made appIi.
cation at the office OF the county
auditor for license TO marry John c
Amber
There would be nothing unusual In
| this were it not for the circumstances
| surrounding the case, and the fact that
| the marriage license was refused Mrs
Mauret because the man she proposed
20 wed was the husband OF her deceased
daughter. and while Mrs Mauret is 81
years OF age, her son-in-law, whom
she proposed to marry. is about 40.
The application for the marriage Il
cense recalls the cruel murder OF Mrs.
John Amber in September last by Al
bert Nichaud, from whom she had
been divorced before marrying Amber
Michaud went to the home OF the Am
blers late in the afternoon and shot his
former wife in the back, putting at
least one bullet into her PROSTATE form
as she lay wounded upon the ground in
the yard near the house He was ar
rested and tried. and last spring he
paid the penalty for his crime with his
life. He was hanged in the Pierre
county court house
In making the application for the IL
cense TO wed John Amber. Mrs. Mau-
ret said ii was matter of business
with her. She is acting as mother to
the children OF her daughter by Mich
aud and by Amber, and Amber has
been supporting them. He has some
life insurance in a fraternal order that
she says cannot be transferred to any
one. save to his wife. and as it is the
intention that the money shall go to
Mrs. Mauret. to be used for the benefit
OF the children, she is DESTROYS of be-
coming the wife of her son-in-law and
thus become the mother OF her grand
children.
The laws of the State of Washington
prevent man from marrying his
mother-in-law, and when the clerks in
the auditors Office learned that Mrs.
Mauret wanted the license to marry
Mr.. Amber it was refused. Had she
hON btSiI d. l. dIih sue pipHtu- II -
quite probable that the license would
have been issued, as il is not required
OF the clerks that they make special
inquiry regarding the intention of the
applicants.
Mrs. Mauret left the auditors office
in study. She did not know JUS
which way to turn. but it was suggested
that she pay a visit TO the Office of the
prosecuting attorney and see whether
he could not offer some suggestion to
aid her.
In talking of her intention Mrs Matt
ret said Mr.. Amber might be killed at
any time. He is sawyer in one of the
mills, and recently met with a serious
accident. the final outcome of which is
not yet certain. He has been confined
to his home for long time. and it will
be many weeks before he is able to be
out, said Mrs Mauret
