Confusion gave way 90 uproar. eony

cop that there was q riot In the church.

ton. Mrs. Angela Frencotti.. the widow
who keeps the cook shop on Lexington
avenue near East iOist street, believed there
would be somebody killed so she sent for
a hurry call for IN ambulance. DR.. Ber-
liner from Harlem Hospital responded
post haste.
Meanwhile Giuseppe. dressed In his new
cutaway and white tie, was hurried into
one OF the carriages Of the invited wedding
guests. Detective Davis sat inside with
him while Detective Mccarthy drove to
the Fast 10th street station. The bride,
having tainted, been revived and tainted
again, was spirited away by friends. No
body but Father Cummings knows where
she is and he won't tell.
All would have gone well with Giuseppe
Mungo had 1t not been that four weeks ago
a dark woman visited the parish house OF
the Rev. W. f. Cronin, rector of the Church
of Santa Lucia. and had there promised
to give him proofs of Giuseppe's previous
marriage. Father Cronin, in default of
substantiation for her story, allowed his
assistant, Father Cummings, TO read the
banns Of Giuseppe and Clavino for three
successive Sundays.
Father Cummings told the prospective
bridegroom of the visit of the yelled woman
"Ah, hees a ri',' had ohortled Giuseppe
'Da womans ia da jealous ones mebbe
sometime. l maka da a RI"
But a few days ago the mysterious woman
appeared with a marriage certificate. 1t
showed that on December 5, 1895, Giuseppe
had bent his neck to the yoke ofmatrimony
in the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
Father Cummings kept the certificate. He
also kept his council.
When all the wedding guests had assem-
bled last night and Giuseppe was vainly
endeavoring to get a number ten hand into
a number eight white cotton glove out in
the vestry room, Father Cummings called
IN the bridegroom and tthe bride. He had
previously taken the precaution of obtaining
the services Of the two detectives, whom he
had stationed behind the curtains across
ar alcove.
Father Cummings asked Giuseppe to
read the paper. He read it. Then in
wonderful English he explained to the
priest that he had been divorced by Justice
Maddox of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn.
The Church forbids its priests to re-
marry the divorced, said the priest. EThen,
with IA yell, Giuseppe leaped at him.
Wien he was caught and searched by
the dete ctives, the fact was revealed that
the hopeful bride groom had come to his
wedding we'll heeled for trouble. A .3s
calibre revolver and a long dirk were found
in his tail coat pocket and under his starched
shirt respectively.
Giusepre's brother Antonio came to the
station and bailed him out a short time
after s o'clock, putting up a bono with the
Muugo residence at 235 East lO6th street
as security.
Now Giuseppe declares he doesn't care
nyway He and Clavino were married
by an Alderman, he says, in the City Hall
two months ago. After all, a church we'd
ding doesn't count for much, says
Giuseppe.
