GRAY HEADQUARTERS
FOUNTAIN OF HOPE
Josiah Marvel is Kept Busy Explaining
the Boom for the Jurist.

DENVER, July 3-Gray headquarters
in this city is now called the "Fountsin
of Hope" The idea to be carried by the
designation is that Judge Gray for second
place on the national ticket is the only
hope of the party to win the election
This hope is still held despite the autnof-
itative statement which came from Judge
Gray at his home in Wilmington, Del.
yesterday, that he would not accept sec
ond place. He is still the first choice OF
Mr.. Bryan. but unless he should reverse
completely there is no likelihood of his
being a vice-presidential candidate. And
in view Of Judge Gray's declaration that
he is not a Presidential candidate. either,
this keeping his headquarters open pre-
sents a peculiar situation. To explain it
briefly. it is the work of his friends. who.
like the boosters in the early stages of the
Hughes boom. keep plugging away on the
theory that the office should seek the
man. This is the attitude of Josiah Marvel.
the chief Gray boomer, who says thai
Judge Gray's declaration of yesterday was
entirely consistent with the stand OF pas
sive modesty he had taken all along. but
that his friends would keep working just
the same.

MARRIED WITH
FIRST WIFE NEAR
Samuel Blake. Charged With
Bieamy, Welded Few
Doors From No. |

Samuel Blake, colored, was a defend
ant in the City Court to-day. charged
with bigamy, and was held in 5000 bail
for the Court of General Sessions. He
was represented by ]. Frank Ball.
A strange part Of the AFFAIR is that
Blake married his alleged second wife
three or four doors from where his
first wife was living. aThis marriage
occurred on March 6. according to the
evidence OF the Rev. Benjamin T.
Moore. who officiated. He said the
maiden name of the girl was Annie
Williams, and that the marriage was
not hidden in any way and attracted
quite a large crowd outside the house.
The first wife of the defendant, Alice
Blake, who seems uncOncerned about
the charge againts her husband, and as
Assistant City Solicitor Satterthwaite
said, was a disinterested witness in the
case, testified that she married Blake
eighteen years ago. but that they had
not been living together for fourteen
years.
Mr.. Ball told the court that there did
not appear to be any doubt but that his
client had married twice, but he said
bigamy was not intended, but that the
whole proceeding was due to ignorance
on the part of his client, who labored
under the belief that as he had not
lived with his first wife for such long
time he was free to marry again. The
man, he said, has a good reputation,
and he asked the court to fix the bail
In as small a sum as possible, and $500
was decided upon.
