Miss Maloney is the daughter Of Mar
tin MalOney, wealthy resident OF
Philadelphia, upon whom the title OF
marquis was conferred by the Pope.
The young woman went through n
marriage ceremony with Mr.. Osborne
before a justice of the peace in Nam
arohe eek, N. Y. in December, 1905. in
which she gave her name Of Helen
Engenie and Mr. Osborne gave the
name of Herbert Ogden. There were
two witnt sSes to this ceremony. AT
ter the marriage the two returned to
their respective homes. and Miss Ma
loney lived with her parents for 4
long time without the escapade be
coming known.
In October. 1907. she eioped with
Samuel Clarkson, a young English
man, and they were married in Mon
treal. The couple. went to England,
apparently without the knowledge OF
Miss Maloney's friends. and for a few
weeks an active search, for her was
kept up by representatives OF her
family. AS soon as her disappear
ance became known Mr.. Osborne mol
flied Mr.. Maloney OF the ceremony
two years before. ~. Clarkson ana
his wife returned to this country a
numbe OF weeks ago. and proceed
inss were instituted in behalf OF the
Maloney family to annnl the marriage
to Osborne. Mr. Osborne did not con-
test tine action. but put the facts be-
fore the referee. That official recon-
mended to the court that the mar
riage be annulled. Justice Mccall
affirmed that finding. The decree is
interlocutory and does not become f.
nal for three months. The evidence
was not made public.
The result Of II Is that Miss Ma
lcney's marriage to Samuel CIarkson
becomes legal. and no other cere monv
will be necessary unless II be desired
to have the young woman's status
confirmed by marriage in the
