 In Judge Bethea's courtroom, the trial of Mrs. Jennie Scott, alleged pro- prietor of a second wiyes-a -and-hus- bands-to-order-by-m concern, indict- ed on the same charge as Marion Grey, continued. The prosecution. af- ter introducing a large number of wit nesses, male and female, from all parts of the country. who had joined
 Mrs. Scott's "Elsin Correspondins Association, rested it's case. Tomorrow the defense will be heard. The case probably will go to the jury before night
 The witnesses ill the Scott case did not hear Judge Lands' scathing de- nunciation of the men and women who patroniZe matrimonial agencies in the hope of finding wealthy husbands and
 wives per the mail order route. Judge Landis in passing sentence on Mrs. Grey characterized them as mental |derelicts." Supremely unconscious of the fact that these stinging words had been applied to them, they gave their testimony freely, sometimes cheerful ly, sometimes with an air of brayado. "
