With half an hour between each cere-
mony. Rev. DR.. Donald 3. Macleod,
pastor OF First Presbyterian Church.
tuesday morning married three
young coupels from Baltimore. So
closely did the second and third wed
dinSs follow the first that it appeared
to be a wholesale elopement.
The affair strongly suggested the
old story of parental objections. 1t
would appear the seXtette determined
to visit the Capital City and kill three
birds with one stone. They were con-
serVative people, and foresaw that a
triple wedding would attract too much
attention.
So they arranged matters on the
train coming to this city, and then
they separated at Union Station.
They visited the marriage license
clerk and obtained the necessary pa
pers, after which they called on Or.
Macleod. The first couple were
George w. Bayley and Elizabeth Null
thaupt. Shortly after they departed
the pastor was requested TO ohiciate
FOR Charles Hammer and Ethel b.
Webster. When the thir couple ar
rived DR.. Macleod became suspicious.
but he performed the ceremony for
them. Edward Johnson and Gather
inc Saukerman were the contracting
parties.
