son. Michael T.. Griffin, who recently
died. His life was insured for $500.
The state will try 10 prove that he
died of consumption, and that the man
who was examined By the physician of
the Manhattan Life Insurance company
was another and much healthier fellow.
Griffin testified that he did not know
that his sons life had been insured till
some time after the policy had been
made out On the back OF the check for
$500 was an Endorsement like this: PAY

Then, as the state outlines the story
the old man came TO bridgeport TO get
the money. Griffin says fe met the men
at the Adams House. where Carey had
a room. Hill and Cannon were there
Griffin says the three declared they
owned the policy. but would let him in
IL.
They offered him $3.50 but he was wise
enough TO see that they would give him
more They finally came down with
$500 and he took IL thankfully.
DIR. j. G. Lynch, an old and respected
practitioner OF Bridgeport. was the ply
sician who examined young Griffin. He
says the man he examined was physically

prove that substitute was used in his
case while the young man himself was

the New Haven agent of the Manhattan
Insurance company, has retained Judge

That Was All Perry Had.
Bride Furnished Funds--A
Divorce Granted.

New York, June 6.--Mrs. Frances Scha-
bana Perry. of this city, daughter OF
wealthy parents and herself an heiress.
was granted an absolute divorce yester-
day by the supreme court at White
Plains.
Four years ago Mrs. Schabana OF No.

passed the summer with her family at
Watkins Glen
Her cottage is one OF the most elabor-
ate summer homes at that popular re-
sort, and her daughter Frances had
been the uudfsputed- bette Of tire 54eHf=
since her girlhood. AT the fateful time
In question she was twenty-three years
old blonde. willowy and romantic.
Foremost among her admirers was
Charles Perry. son OF a wealthy mother.
brother-in-law of a westchester County
Judge, handsome impressionable and
somewhat reckless.
Seated together on the messy rocks
watching the play of sunlight on the ia
NOUS Glen Cascade. young Perry propos-
ed Miss Schabana murmured yes"
PROPOSED AN ELoPEMENT.
Lets elope right now?" urged the
impassioned wooer Again Miss schabana
murmured approval.
At that critical juncture young Perry
discovered that his finances were not on
an eloping basis All that he could find
in his pockets was plugged quarter.
But Miss Schabana's pocketbook was
bulging and her heart melted at the an
guish of her impecunious Charles.
"Cheer up" she said. "In lend you
the money"
Together they iourneyed by rail TO
, Penn Yam upon return tickets purchased
by Miss Schabana. Together they visited
the leading jeweller OF the town, where
Miss Schabana bought her own wedding
ring Together they looked up a parson,
who married them, collecting his fee
from the bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Perry returned 10 Wat
klns Glen that afternoon In time FOR Tea
apart at their respective homes. Both
families were kept in Ignorance of the
marriage. Perry and his bride continued
10 meet ia society only as friends.
SQUALLS BEGAN TO BREW.
Matters were I'm this shape a month
after the elopement. when stor~s of
Perrys gallantry reached his brides ear.
Satisfied of their truth, Mrs. Perry
told the whole story 10 her mother, who
promptly closed up the summer home
and hurried to New York with the re-
pentant bride.
Mrs. Perry then and there vowed that
she would never live with her husband
and that sne would have him watched
night and day until evidence enough was
obtained to warrant divorce proceedings
For four years detectives have been
seeking evidence.
Armed with proof OF several indiscre-
tions Mrs Perry finally brought suit for
absolute divorce, retaining Frederick B.
| House and +. w. Russell OF House. Gross
man * Norhaus, as counsel.
The case was tried with Mr.. Perry
present but silent. He made no defense
and smiled upon his one-time bride across

Justice Dykman rendered the decision
which gives Mrs. Perry the right to re-
sumo her maiden name
