Although the state Department main
tanned an absolute silence this morning.
as TO the name of the alleged bogus
nobIeman whose intended marriage in
Europe with an American girl, sister
of Miss Frances Garwood. it has tried
to prevent by cabling to Ambassador
Reid. il is now understood that much
more serious allegations were made
AGAINST the would-be bridegroom than
that of impersonating some European
noble. It is believed that the man
who wished TO marry Miss Isabel Car
wood already has a wife somewhere IN
Europe.
The state Department refused to af-
firm or deny the report that the man in
the case, who, it is alleged. has lived in
New York for many years, but who is
not a native American, was married in
Europe and that he has a wife from
whom he is not separated living abroad,
ard at least one child.
It is regarded now as practically GER
tain that the state Department did not
merely lend to Miss Frances Garwood
and her friend, the Rev. John B. Quinn,
of the Church OF the Ascension, the
department code. but that it instructed
Ambassador Reid, in London, TO do
everything possible to prevent the mar
rage. What Mr.. Reid has done the
department will not say and evidently
does not intend to tell. Whether or not
the marriage has been stopped II may
know, but viii not reveal.

NEW YORK, June 4.-The pleadings
Of two young women that their plans
might be carried out and a double we'd
ding take place in church, caused the
immigration authorities TO break rule

The usual rule when a young woman,
unaccompanied by relatives. comes to

ceremony be performed on shipboard.
Adele and Gertrude Deligoure, sisters,
arrived with the initial trip of La Veloce
TO fulfill promises made three years ago
in Meta. Italy. to marry young men
who had preceded them here.
Adele Is to become the wife OF Charles
Ruggero, and Gertrude the bride of
Guatano Caffiero. both of 246 West
Thirtieth street. The young men, who
are in business, had prepared for the
double wedding uptown, and had so
written 10 the sisters.
When told the rule OF the immigra-
ton service, the young women declared
il impossible TO have their plans inter-
fered with.
What, no church wedding" cried
one. 1--WE want a church wedding. +"
Then the pair pleaded. The young men
added their entreatiess and it was de-
cided to permit the sisters 10 land and
to marry later.

say that DR.. Count Bettino Di
Noise was well known there; that he
has lived for many years in the metrOp-
oils; that he enjoys a good reputation.
The man whom Miss Garwood wished
TO marry, 1t is said, is about sixty years
old, about twenty yeas older than his
intended bride. The CONT di Noise was
graduated from a university at Padua,
in italy, II IS understood about 1875.
AS statistics run in this country the
count should be about sixty.
At the Austrian embassy denial was
made this morning of any knowledge
of the man ia the case, who it has been
reported is an Austrian by birth. The
Italian embassy continued it's silence In
regard to Miss Garwood's fiance, re-
iterating the statement that since it has
been proved that he is not an Italian
it has nothing further to do with the
affair.
The same silence was maintained by
the friends of Miss Frances Garwood
at the Church of the Ascension. They
refused 10 discuss any phase OF the case
or TO say even whether or not she is
still in Washington.
