WHEN LOVE LAUGHED
LOCKSMITHS OF NO AVAIL IN
MISS CARRIERS CASE

MISS MORA carter, the young dOy VINO
came here last week from her home in
Staunton, Va, to be married, and was ar
rested instead, because her guardian OBJ
5ected to the proposed wedding. as here
tofore stated in The Star, will return to
Staunton Mrs. Pierre Taulelle. Mr..
East, her guardian, reached here yesterday
morning according to promise and saw the
young couple at police headquarters. He
refused to consent to the marriage of Miss
Carter. but did not insist that she should
return with him.
I'm go back If you insist upon It," Miss
Carter said to her guardian.
You may go of your own accord" the
latter told her.
Then" she added, "I'll not GO"
The interview took place In the office of
Capt. Boardman at police headquarters yes
terday morning. AS as MIR. East
Carter sent to headquarters from the
house of detention. Her friend Miss Perry,
accompanied her. Mr.. East told Capt.
Boardman that the sum of 81 500 is de-
posted in a bank in Staunton to the credit
Of Miss Carter and that she will receive
1t when she reaches the age of twenty
one years. An allowance of s25 month is
made for her support.
Received Courteous Attention.
Since Miss Carter was taken into Gus
tody Friday night She has been frequently
visited by Mr. Taulelle and his relatives,
and they have done everything in their
power to make life in the house of de-
tention as pleasant as possible. Mr.. Taul-
ellie and his sister were there to look after
her yesterday morning and they accom-
panied her to police headquarters. When
Mr.. East decided not to insist upon the re-
turn Of his ward to Staunton, the latter
left the office with her friends and went

New York avenue, where Miss Carter will
be cared for until she becomes a member
Of the family.
Later in the day 1t was given out that ar
rangements were being made for the mar
riage Of the couple tomorrow evening by
one of the priests connected with st. Pat
ricks Church. This program will be car
ried out unless it develops that a license
cannot be obtained here. Should such an
obstacle be encountered it is likely that the
couple will go to Rockville to have the
nuptial knot tied.
1t was with sigh of relief that Miss
Carter walked from police headquarters yes
terday free to do as she pleased. While
the matron and friends did everything they
could to make her comfortable at the
house of detention she still had the I'M
pleasant sensation prisoner has who can
not breathe the free air. When released.
however, she expressed herself as salts
fed. She willingly subjected herself, she
said, to the trouble and inconvenience in

loves.
Tagged the Train.
The trip from Staunton to this city was
not without an exciting incident. A change
Of cars at Charlottesville was made neces-
sary and a message sent there had re-
quested the police to arrest Miss Carter
When Mr. Taulelle realized that an ar
rest was to be made he hired team and
had the driver urge his horses to Rio, five
miles distant. The team and train reached
there almost the same minute In order to
get in position to flag the train, Mr..
Taulelle had to climb over railroad bridge
and do lively bit of sprnting. Behind
him followed Miss Carter and Miss Perry.
With piece of red flannel he succeeded
in inducing the engineer to bring the train
to a stop, and calling to the young ladies
he told them to hurry aboard.
Whats the matter here?' inquired the
conductor of the young man.
Nothing" was his response. I'VE want
to go to Washington"
But" explained the conductor, this Is
not a stopping point for this train
II know that" admitted the head of the
clipping party, but we want to get mar
ried."
Then" said the conductor good natured-
ly, that makes a difference.
Telling the trio to hurry aboard the train,
the conductor signaled the engineer and
the train was soon speeding toward this
city, where detectives were on hand to
make the arrest. A trip TO Niagara Falls
has been planned by the young couple.
