ROMANCE OR TRAGEDY.
The Case of e. e. Henderson and Mis-:
Edith Eppard, of EarIham.


Edith Eppard, of Earham.
| Des Moines, June 16-"I +. Hender-
son and Lady. Earlham.
This innocent looking entry on the
register of the Krkwood hotel for
Monday, June sth, is the beginning of
a romantic story which came to light
| in the courts yesterday. Whether the
story will develop into a domestic trag-
edy or is simply bright romance mas
not yet developed.
| Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Bradfeld OF IA
West Seventh street called at the office
of b. F. Coffin, clerk of the Polk coun-
| ty district court yesterday, and inquired
| il an attempt had been made the early
part of last week to secure a marriage
| license for Mr.. f. e. Henderson and
Miss Edith Eppard of Earlham. Mr..
Bradfield stated that they would prob
ably have no witness, as is required by
law, but desired to know if any at
tempt had been made to secure the Ii
cense. An examination of the marriage
license record was made and the var
ious deputies OF Clark Coffin examined
but no record or remembrance of any
such parties was found.
"Mr. Henderson and Miss Eppard
We're married then in Winterset. later
in the week. explained MI Bradfieid
They went there and secured Mr.
Cattellin, u harness maker, who swore
that he was acquainted with both the
parties and by this means they secured
Il license in Madison county and We're
married there Henderson is only 20
years of age and the girl is. But they
stayed at the Kirkwood hotel in this
city before they We're married and that
is what we are looking up. We want
to have the marriage annulled."
ION what grounds" inquired the
deputy who was waiting upon the
couple.
Because he deceived the girl" de-
clared Mr. Bradfield. He told her that
lit was impossible for him to secure
marriage license here so that he could
marry her. He deceived her.
.But that is not a statutory ground
for a divorce or the annulment of
marriage in this state. il the decep-
ton was before the marriage, eX-

courts at once to annul the marriage.
reiterated Mr. Bradfeld. and with this
and statement he left the
court house.

that Mr.. Henderson had arrived there
last week and registering was as
