Sheridan's Double Marria 60.

It was in 1SJ. that the Gretil Green marriages were made Illegal. X glance at its registers may yet inspire the novelist of the future. One ei4t"y will be sure to puzzle. Twice within Il few days occurs the record Of the marr;I. of Richard BrinSlev sheridan to Miss Grant. There was only one K. B. &. only one bride for the same gentleman. The double entries are not the result of any blunder on the part of tue Rev. MT. Vulcan. The parties were really twice married at Gretna Green. Arriv ing on a Sunday they were duly we'd ded, and sped away to Edinburgh. There, however, Sheridan chanced to
 lance at a newspaper in which ap-
 cared the lucubrations of a lawyer
 n these plainly stated was the fact hat no contract executed on Sunday Js binding. Clearly, then, their wed. ding was not legal. Back to Gretna Green they scurried. to be remarried on week day and leave the dual rec ord to perplex later generations of sympathetic searchers of the records et James Gazette

and sensational end when Justice
O'Gorman of the supreme court dis
missed the complaint and directed
that the complainant be committed to
the city prison under $4,000 bail on a
charge of perjury. Miss Wood was
taken to the Tombs. The climax came
after the introduction in evidence of
the deposition of man who manufac-
tured the blanks upon one of which
the alleged Wood-Platt marriage Ger
tificate had been prepared, in which
he declared that the blank form in
question was not Autographed until

Seven True Bills Returned Against
Indiana Man.

Laporte, Ind, May 23-In returning
seven true bills against Ray Lam
phere, the Laporte~ county grand jury
also indicted Mrs. Bella Guinness for
the murder of Andrew Helgelein of
Mansfield, S. D. No warrant was is,
sued for Mrs. Guinness, as she was de-
clared officially dead by the verdict
of Coroner Mack, but in order to vote
true bill against Lamphere as an ac-
cessory in the killing of Helgelein, it
was necessary to indict Mrs Guinness
as the principal Lamphere now
stands before the bar of justice Off
cially charged with arson, five mur-
ders, and being an accessory in the
Helgelein murder.
Separate bills were voted against
Lamphere for the murder, in the first
degree, of Mrs. Bella Guinness and her
three children, Philip Guinness, Maytie
Sorenson and Lucy Sorenson.
In charging Lamphere with the muir
der of Andrew Helgelein, the indict-
ment says that Ray Lamphere on
Jan. IA, 1908, did unlawfully, felon-
iously, purposely and with premedi-
tated malice, kill and murder Andrew
