GROOM GOT
INTO JAIL
Wilmington Man Found Short No,
tice Bride in Troy Yesterday.

Downcast and discouraged, Charles
Smith, woodchopper from Whining.
ton, VT, who according to information
from his home has a wife and two
children there, was led to a cell in the
Second precinct station at Troy, Tues
day night and was locked up for the
night.
The Vermonter was to have started
on his wedding trip but the man to
whom he had applied to be married
turned out to be adjective instead of
magistrate, and the result was the
shattering of the strangers hopes of
matrimony, for the present at least.
The police questioned the sincerity OF
the wouId-be bride, believing that her
aim was to obtain custody of about
$500 which Smith is supposed to have
in the little Vermont town, and so took
him into custody for safe keeping.
The couple entered police head
quarters about so'clock, and stepping
up to detective Tyler, who was behind
the desk, "My names Smith," he
said proudly and this girl and want
to be married right away"
Detective Tyler questioned the pain
closely and ascertained that the couple
had known each other only about one
day, having meet at the Canadian no.
tel on River street, where Smith and
several other woodchoppers were maxi
ing their headquarters while seeing
the town for which purpose they
had arrived in Troy on Friday
last.
To Superintendent Hogan the young
woman stated that her name was Grace
Pratt, sometimes known as Ford, and
that her home was in Glens Falls.
She has been rooming at the River
street hotel for the past few days, and
meeting Smith there, had taken a lik-
ing to him. She admitted that she
once had been a fortune teller in Troy.
She was warned to leave town at
once under penalty OF being placed
und erarrest -.
Smith is alleged to have had about
s35when he arrived in Troy, and states
that he gave SlS all that he had left to
the proprietor of the hotel, for safe
keeping who however asserts TO the
police that the man never entrusted
any money to his care. The Vermonter
had just one dollar when searched
after his arrest and it was this lone
dollar with which he proposed to be
married and enjoy his wedding trip,
after which he would take his bride to
his Vermont home.
The woman operated here couple
OF years ago and will doubtlss lie
remembered by several.
