welded TOO YOUNG.
And Girl of Fifteen Now Seeks a
Divorce.

Patterson, March 23.-Irving A. }.
SecOr is only 10 years of age, but
he is a bridegroom with a divorce
suit on his hands and a prisoner in
the county jail, serving six months
term for the larceny of two diamond
rings from Mrs. Mary Bingham, of
PaSSaic.
On January last he was with Jen-
ME Geary, fifteen years old, in the
company of some friends, and during
an argument he dared Miss Geary to
marry him. The girl took the chal-
lenge and they Immediately called
upon the Rev DR.. Leayens, of Pas
sale, to whom they gave the names of
Irving ]. Wright and Mabel Blake.
They told the clergyman that they
were of age. Joseph Smith and
Jennie Smith accompanied them.
The pair spent honeymoon lasting
three days and then they quarreled.
The girl returned to her parents. A
week later Secor was arrested for the
theft OF the diamond rings, and Miss
Geary's parents began proceedings
to have the marriage annulled, on the
ground that the girl was under age
and had been deceived.
SecOr was served with the papers
in Jail. He says he will contest the
divorce proceedings, as there was no
deception on his part

MISS BURNS NOT
HELD FOR MURDER
YOUNG BROOKLYN WOMAN DIS
CHARGED BY MAGISTRATE.
DIDN'T Kill SWEETHEART
Court RoundIy Scores Police for Get
ting Statement From Accused Be-
fore She Had Been Informed of
Her Rights or What TIE Charge
Against Her Was.

New York, March 2S.-Florence
Burns, the young Brooklyn woman who
had been in the custody of the police
of this city since February Is under
suspicion of knowing how Walter
Brooks met his death was discharged
from custody by Justice Mayer last
night.
Brooks, who was a young commits
sion merchant here, had been keeping
company with Florence Burns. He
was found dead the night of February
IA, in a room at the Glen Island hotel
The gas in the room was turned on
and there was a bullet wound in his
head. The district attorney tried to
show that Florence Burns had likely
killed Brooks because he was trying to
break OF association with her. The
defense advanced the suicide theory.
For several days Justice Mayer has
been examining into the two theories.
He finally decided, when the hearing
closed, that nothing had been brought
out sufficient to hold Florence Burns
TO the grand jury. After being dis
charged she returned to her home in
Brooklyn. Justice Mayer of the spec
ial sessions court sat as examining
magistrate.
At yesterdays hearing BackuS. the
prisoners counsel, moved that certain
statements made by his client to the
detectives be stricken from the record
because she had not been informed
of her rights when the statements
were made. Assistant District Attor-
ney Schurman opposed this motion,
but Justice Mayer granted it, saying
he had sought carefully for precedent
where statements of a defendant made
when not informed of the charge
against him or her, had been used as
evidence. and had failed to find one
such case. Justice Mayer said he
found no warrant in law for the ques-
tiOning of prisoner by a police OF
ficer before the prisoner had been ar
raigned before a police magistrate or
Informed of his rights
Schurman said he hoped the court
would make it possible to have the
view thoroughly tested. ut is not

in the system in vogue" he added,
mot only in the city of New York but
the entire country. Thousands of
men have been convicted on state
ments made by prisoners to officers
before arraignment"
Justice Mayer said the system might
have come into vogue by custom, but
as long as there was no warrant for
it in law, the custom could have no
force. The justice also declared that
there was no law permitting a person
to be arrested on suspicion.

NATURAL GAS EXHAUSTED.
Muncie, Ind, Will Lose Its Fuel, and
Light Will be Manufactured.

Muncie, Ind, March 23.-The
natural gas supply in this section OF
Indiana is gradually becoming ex-
hausted. The Muncie Natural Gas
company has notified the city council
that after October next it will cease
to furnish fuel gas for domestic uses
This means that the company will
abandon the natural gas field and
devote itself hereafter to gas for
illuminating purposes only. This
latter will be manufactured by one of
well-known processes, a large plant
having been erected by the company.
The company claims that owing to
the scarcity of gas more pumps are
required, and that these are very eX-
pensive. AS the rate now paid will
not permit of purchase of new
machinery, the company goes out of
the fuel gas business.
