HONEYMOON STOPPED
BRIDEGROOM ARRESTED ON A
LARCENY CHARGE.

Good morning Mr.. Sake" was the man
ner in which Detective Sears greeted Harry
SAKE in the Baltimore and Potomac depot
this forenoon upon the latter's arrival on
train from Atlanta.
Il guess you are mistaken said the
stranger, my name is not Sake"
Well said the detective, who had
picked out the stranger upon a description
given of him in a dipatch from Henry
Jennings, chief of police of Atlanta, Capt.
Boardman would like to see you at head
quarters
The young man became nervous and
showed signs of collapse. but the young
lady with him was calm and collected
The latter, 1t turned out, is his. wife and
the action of the detective resulted in the
breaking up of their honeymoon. II was
stated in the dispatch from the chief of
police of Atlanta that there is a charge
of larceny against Sake. When this in
formation was impaired to the couple at
police headquarters the bride tainted She
swooned several times and had to be looked
after by one of the police matrons.
This was done for the purpose of get
ing me back to Atlanta" declared SAKE,
"as l have not committed any offense."
His. bride declared her belief in his inno-
cence and both said they were willing to
return to Atlanta and meet any charge
that might be preferred against the hus-
band. In conversation with Detective
H..
said he had been employed as bookkeeper
for the Bear Ice Company in Atlanta and
at one time there was allegation that
his accounts were not straight. That mat
ter, he said, was settled to the satisfaction
of everybody concerned and he continued in
the employ of the company, of which K. l.
Weinberg is proprietor.
Married Yesterday.
Yesterday, he said, he became the hus-
band of Miss Anna Wasser, whose father
is a market official and lives at No. IL
Eugenia street The ceremony was per-
formed by Judge Bloodworth and was done
against the protests of Miss Wasser's par
ents. He said he and Miss Wasser had
been acquainted about nine years, but her
parents objected to their marriage.
And SO it was runaway MATCH he
remarked.
Resigning his position with the ice COM
pany he met the young lady and they re-
paired to the office of Judge Bloodworth
and were married. They left Atlanta about
noon and intended to go to New York to
live. 1t was their intention to stop here
a short time, however, and then resume
their journey, but the iron hand of the law
stepped in and interrupted their journey.
The couple remained in Capt. Board-nans
office some time and the latter did his best
to straighten out matters for them. There
was no charge against the young woman,
but she objected to being separated from
that both should be cared for at the house
of detention pending the arrival of an Of
flcer from Atlanta.
Mr.. SAKE gave his age as twenty-one
years, and his wife said she was exactly
the age of her husband. She was attred
in a black silk dress and her husband wore
light suit. There was nothing about
them to indicate that they had been recent
ly married and were on their wedding trip.
as they had departed suddenly from their
homes and had not taken time to have
wedding garments made. From police
headquarters they were driven to the house
of detention in the cab belonging to the in
stitution, and Mr.. SAKE expressed the hope
that there would be delay on the part
of the Atlanta authorities in sending for
him.
