JEROME CURRY WEEDS.
Probate Judge LegaAzes Marriage by
Kansas Ceremony.

Jerome curry, sgenefaf Tnamagere OF
the Central Sash and Door company
of North Topeka, and Mary. L. Marks
were married by Probate Judge Hay
ing. This is probably the closing
chapter in the matrimonial adventures
of Mr.. Curry, which have been exc
plotted more or less.
This latest move of Mr.. Curry has
been shrouded with the same degree
of secrecy which has. characterized all
of his movements in the case Late
last evening after the lights had been
turned on in the county offices and
after many of them were deserted, Mr..
Curry and Mrs. Marks appeared at
the probate judges office, accom-
panied by their attorney, who asked
that they be married and that no rec
ord be made of the matter so that 1t
might not appear in the newspapers.
They were assisted in their attempt
to keep the matter a secret by the
probate Judge, who did not make a
record of the issuing of the license or
of the marriage The matter leaked
out from other sources, and while the
records of the probate court do not
show the marriage, and Judge Hayden
refuses to either affirm or deny it, the
fact remains the same and the couple
were for the second time married last
evening. A little less than two years
ago the health of the former Mrs.
Curry began to fail and on the advice
Of her family and friends she sought
to- regain her health by a trip to her
home in the east.
While there a divorce was obtained
by Mr. Curry on a petition which is
one of the most disgusting and filthy,
as far as the allegations which it con-
tains are concerned, which has ever
been filed in the district clerks Office.
Within less than six months necessary
to- make the divorce absolute Mr..
Curry went to another state and mar
ried the same woman he married last
night. Last nights ceremony simply
Iegalizes the marriage in Kansas.
Mrs. Curry returned from her visit
to the east to find that during the
time she had been absent that her
husband had obtained a divorce from
her and had married, and that she
had been cast aside for a younger
woman. Upon the discovery of these
facts Mrs. Curry instructed her at
torney to file a suit to set aside the
divorce on the grounds that it was
obtained by fraud. This case is still
pending in the district court, although
it is understood that a satisfactory
settlement has been made by Mr.
Curry. who will amply provide for his
first wife.

we landed the body. Suddenly Ser
