ATTITUDE
IS NOT YET KNOWN
Groom Is in Hammond This Morning
on His Way to Crown Point and
Thinks That Things viii All Come
Out Right Eventually, at Least He
Hopes So.

J. Roy Morrison, whose secret mar
riage to Miss Edna WiclSey, the daugh-
ter of Representative =. w. Wickey,
caused such a sensation wherever the
young couple is known. was in Ham
mond this morning.
Mr.. Morrison admitted that he is
still persona non grata at the domicile
of Mr.. Wickey, and said he thought II
advisable for him to remain away from
the home of his bride until the thing
had blown over"
inadvertently yesterdays account of
the marriage gave the name of Mabel
wickey instead of Edna. 1t was Miss
Edna Wickey who married Mr. Morri-
son and who is now practically pris-
oner in her own home, in that she Is
not permitted to even see the man she
married when she recently eloped 10
Crown Point.
The parents of the girl think whel
she gives the matter sober seeones
thought she will regret her hasty ac-
tioA and will agree to take some legal
4 action that will nullify the marriage.
Morrison Is Cheerful.
Mr. Morrison went te Crown Point
this morning, where he is employed in
Auditor Johnson's office in the county
huilding He did not seem at all de-
:
pressed owe rthe turn affairs have taken
since his marriage to Miss Wickey had
become public.
He seemed hopeful that the parental
wrath Of the Wickeys would subside
and that he would sooner or later be
permitted to claim his bride. 1t was
impossible to learn what is the present
attitude of Mrs. Roy Morrison regard
ing the affair.
There is no indication that Mr.. and
Mrs Wickey are relenting in their op-
position to the marriage. and 1t is un-
derstood that Mr. Wickey has said he
positively will not permit things to re.
main as they are.
Just what action will be taken By
the Lake county representative is no.
known at the present time, but il il
hinted by some of his closer friend!
, that when the proper time comes steps
will be taken TO have the marriage nul
Hfed on the grounds that Miss Edn'
Wickey, now Mrs. Morrison, was no
; legally competent to enter into mar
riage contract.

conspiracy to defraud John Ebert out
of 81 500, was pardoned by Governor
Marshall yesterday on representations
made by Attorney W. J. McAleer OF
Hammond. who prosecuted him at the
time Of his conviction.
Frank Holmes was one of the best
known horse traders in the county He
was never arrested previous to the
time ne was involved IN this case and
bore a good reputation.
After he was convicted his attorney
made application for a new trial and
Holmes jumped his bond. The bond
was forfeited and he was a fugitive
from justice.
-Four years after this happened he
gave himself up to the authorities and
was sentenced to from two to four
teen years In the penitentiary by Judge
Mcmahon. He had been in jail for
about year
