WANTS COURT
TO DISCLAM
MARRIAGE
MARTIN MAL0NEY WOULD AN.
NUL WEDLOCK
DAUGHTERS UNION TO OSBORN
is DUBBED A JOKE
Claim Advanced That Ceremony Was
Conceived in a Spirit Of Fun
and That It Was
Mockery
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
NEW York. Jan. 9-Martin Maloney OF
philadelphia made known through for
mai statement given to the Associated
Press tonight that proceedings had been
instituted to obtain court Judgment
declaring that there was no marriage
between his daughter, Helen Eugenie,
and Arthur Her bert Osborn, the young
New York broker, who, according TO the
county records, were technically united
in matrimony at Mamaroneck December
2S, 1905
Fictitious names were given by the
parties to the ceremony and the two
never lived together.
Mr.. Maloney does not go into details
in his announcement, but 1t is under
stood the present court action is based
upon the admissions of the young people
that the idea of their union was con-
ceived in a spirit of run and that the
marriage was a mockery.
The cIarkson Episode
Subsequent to the Mamaroneck cere
mony Miss Maloney accepted the attea-
tions of Samuel Clarkson, a young Eng
lishman, who had been a guest 1T the
Maloney home.
on October 1 last Clarkson and Miss
-
sight and were next heard from in Lon
don, where Miss Maloney was found liy-
ing in a hotel and Clarkson in bachelor
apartments.
Following the disappearance of the two,
and while frantic efforts to locate them
were being made by the Maloneys, the
situation was further complicated by the
published claim of Osborn that he was
the husband of the missing daughter.
Mr. Maloney's statement follows:
proceedings have been instituted to
obtain q judgment declaring there is no
marriage between Helen Maloney and
Arthur H. Osborn. The statements in
the papers in regard to the position as
sume1 by the family of Mr. Maloney and
by Mr. Osborn are entirely erroneous.
sIntimatlons of n settlement upon Mr..
Osborn and his surrendering rights are
without foundation and do him very
grave injustice"
