letters turned over to the South Orange
police by Calvin Smith, an uncle of

Mcguire, of South Orange, reason for
s~uspecting Quinn of other marriages. or

Quinn was arrested Saturday night at
Freehold, after Mr.. Smith, the girfs
father, had made the charge before

letter was addressed. "Mr. Joseph
Quinn, South Orange and on h face
of the envelope it asked that the South

South Orange girl. who was then 10

Cameron, rector of the Episcopal
Church of the Holy Communion, South
Orange. officiating. Miss Smith had

weeks previous at a moving picture
show given in the South Orange High
School assembly hall.
