NEW YORK. June "Details OF
the marriage of his daughter, Sarah
Arabella, TO julius G. Truelson, Jr..
OF this city, were told by Cornelius p.
Vreeland, OF Canarsie, l.. l. Vreelani
said the only explanation he or mis-
daughter could find for Truelson's
story was that the young man Nish-
ed 10 end his life, or was crazy.
Truelson, Jr., said that In 1905 he
married Miss Frances OReilly. of
Rochester. He took her TO the Gun.
ness farm. where the confession
reads. she was murdered.
The prisoner asserted he intended
20 take his second wife. the Vreeland
girl. whom he married in last March,
to Laporte. but was prevented froin
doing so by a letter from Mrs. Gun
ness.
my daughter was introduced TO
Truelson several months before the
marriage" said Vreeland. THE two
took liking to each other and Belle
got my permission TO be married. The
ceremony was performed on March 2
last, in Jersey City. The two went
to Montreal, where the young man
said he had business
Was Already Married.
About week afterwards / got a
letter from Truelson's father in which
he said his son was already married
and had the father known OF the Sec
ond AFFAIR, he would have warned me
In time. Meantime my daughter ar
rived in Montreal About eight days
after the wedding, her husband told
her he must leave her for day or
two to attend TO business.
THE report that he showed her a
letter from Mrs. Guinness Is false. I'm
til the murder stories appeared In the
newspaper, Belle never had heard OF
the woman. But julius didn't come
back. Instead I had to pay 500 TO
obtain my daughters release from a
cell In Montreal, as a I'D check given
by a man answering the description OF
Truelson caused trouble. She came
back here to live and neither has seen
nor heard Of him since"
Truelson's brother Harry, In this
city, says he believes his brother Is
Insane, due to the effects OF injuries
received In a trolley accident.
