Mrs. Payne Says She Is a Wife, but There
Are No Legal Records.


CLINTON IOwA-One Of the most SEN
county is occupying the attention of the
district court. The plaintiff is Mrs. Cora
Payne, or at least she says she is, al
though her supposed husband Frank
Payne, a former we'll known North West
ern railway conductor, says he was never
united In marriage to the woman. There
are no records Of the marriage, notwith-
standing the fact the woman says she
was married to Payne in this city June
26, 1899, or that a marriage contract was
signed at that time in the office of just
Ice Of the peace and that she saw what
purported to me marriage license and a
certificate Of marriage.
The plaintiff testified that her former
home was in Ashton, ILL.,. where she knew
Payne; that they practically grew up to-
gether; that she consented to mary him
and he brought her to this city, where the
contract was entered into. She said she
was a stranger in the city and relied upon
the defendant and did. as he said. She
said they went to the office Of the justice
of the peace, who acknowledged the con-
tract in the presence of several witnesses,
but said she knew none of the men and
could not remember the name Of the just
ice. Neither did she remember the build
ing in which the ceren10ny was performed.
In her petition she alleges that they
lived as husband and wife and on Jan. 81,
1900, moved to Chicago. She is the
mother of a child which she says was born
April 20, 1900. She asks for temporary
alimony Of $50 g. month from the time Of
her alleged desertion, about two years
ago. and $50 as permanent alimony. r. -. 81.
81. Payne does not deny that he is the
father Of the child. If the testimony Of
the woman is true, there was undoubtedly
a mock marriage. @ !%
