MARRIAGE ANNULLED
John D. Perry of Newton, Legally
Freed From Much Married Woman
Who Has Seven Living Husbands.

VINO 7aS Seven Living F1uSpanoS.
Special to imes-Republican.
Newton, Oct. John D. Perry, Of
this city, today succeeded in having his
marriage to Caroline Carlson-Perry
amnulled, Judge McHenry, of De,s
Moines, granting the petition. Perry's
so-called wife had at least seven liv-
ing husbands, and made it a business
to marry men and then bleed them for
their money.
Perry was the third in the list of the
woman's matrimonial victims, and the
couple were married in 1905. The Wo-
man pretended to be in the employ
of the government postal service and
when fitting from husband to husband
from time to time told Perry that she
was called away on secret business
and could not divulge her whereabouts.
1t was while on one of these trips that
Perry grew suspicious, and he fol-
lowed her to Des Moines. There 11e
accidentally met a man from Canada
named Carlson, who was in quest OF
the same woman Then it developed
that Mrs. .Carlson-Perry had other hus-
bands and seven all-told were located.
The woman, however disappeared be-
fore she could be arrested, 1T develop
ing that she purchased a mans attire.
She was a large woman, a pair of over
alls she had made to order, measuring
fifty-two inches around the waist. Ex-
cept for her size she was good to look
upon.
She had told Perry that she had an
income of s100 per month, but after he
met Carlson it was learned that his
bank account was the source of the
income and that he had been mulcted
regularly to that amount. Carlson said
the woman came south each winter
on the pretext that Canada was too
cold.
Perry is an honest mechanic, and
suffered by his matrimonial venture
only to the extent that the woman
ran many bills he had to pay.
