HI DIDN'T MARRY MARY.
So Mary Has william Hell Pinched fol-
RObbing Her.

William He'll, 80 years old, Of 10 West Tooth
street. Manhattan, was arraigned in the
Butler street police court, Brooklyn. yes
terdayr on the charge Of larceny. He was
arrested early yesterday morning by
Detectives Gorneringer and Donlon on a
warrant obtained by Mary Ryan Of 27s
Schermerhorn street.
Mary had known William for five years.
so the court hearing revealed. William
promised to marry her and then touched
her for some money with which to open
adelicstessen store. The store was opened
and William made money. Then he sold
the store. but never paid back to Mary
the money he had borrowed, so Mary
said. Also he failed to keep his promise
10 marry her.
But William found il easy to paoify Mary
by renewing his promise, Last Sunday
was 10 have been the wedding day! On
Friday he got sos from her. He was
positive that he would be on hand OIL Sum-
day and said the marriage would be a nice
affair. Mary thought 80, too, and even
went 90 far as 10 pay a deposit OF $40 on a
fat at "a johnson street, where they were
going 20 keep house. =,
Sunday came, but william did not, Mary
thought this strange and conferred with
several friends They told her that William
wat hckle and that she should not trust
him. Mary then came 10 the conclusion
that William wanted her money and did
not care for her. Then she got the warrant.
William pleaded not guilty, He vaa
taken to the State street headquarters,
where his picture was taken for the rogues'
gallery. He will be examined further
next week.

OF the safe. A number OF valuable papers
were destroyed and a gold chain, onoe
the property Of President Santa Anna Of
Mexico. was found twisted up inside g small
