The old couple were married after
short acquaintance, and the wife
alleges her husband posed as a
wealthy man. He says she refused to
live with him when he failed TO turn
over his property to her.
Beneath the placid surface of one
weeks courtship," says Judge Murphy

source not in the wellsprings OF mu-
