ARIST0CRAT FINDS
WIFE Fx-CONVICT
AnnnIs Marriage With Woman
Who Had an Uncomfortable
Mania for Forgery


NEW YORK. July 24.-Fred Rowland.
scion of proud colonial family has OBJ
tanned an annulment of his marriage to
Eugene A. HILL daughter of banker
of Ridgeheld, n. j., on the ground that
when he married her two years ago
while she was teaching Sunday school
class in Paterson, ~ j., she had already
served a three year sentence on con-
victfon of forgery.
Hill testified that from the time he
was married until he left his bride he
had been worried by some one who had
forged his name to many checks. En-
ploying detectives, Hill said the result
was that his wife signed an admission
that she was the author of those
checks.
In the same statement. which was
submitted to court and which was
backed by the records of the Bedford
reformatory in this state, it was shown
that Mrs Hill had been married in
1901 to Simeon Harold Baker, and that
it was while living as his wife that
she was convicted of forgery and sent
to jail.
On being released, and after Baker
had obtained a divorce, she went to live
with her sister in Paterson, assuming
her maiden name. and in the Sunday
school there she met Hill. Hill testi-
fed that he believed she was single and
knew nothing OF her former trouble.
