JUNE SETS NEW
MARK FOR BRIDES
Marriage Licenses Issued Up To Now,
Tuesday, Total ss4, Far Surprising
Old Record.

With two days still to be counted,
June has already surpassed all records
in the history of the Wayne county
marriage license Office. Up to noon.
Tuesday, SS4 licenses had been issued.
which is 115 more than were issued
during June, 1909, the banner month
up to that time. BY Thursday night
1t is believed June OF this year will
lead all other Junes by over 200.
The figures of the marriage license
department are always regarded as
an accurate criterion OF business con-
ditions throughout the city, and these
figures would indicate that Detroit
during the past year has been un-
usually prosperous.

Wenger's counsel oontended that
the charge was the same as though
Wenger had been impeached and
that his attention had not been spe-
officially directed 10 the time, place

Shortly after Armstrong was arrest
ed on a charge OF accepting graft
money from Gen. Fred w. Green, Of
Ionia. he claimed he intended to trap
Groen. II was further claimed that
Mrs. Armstrong and Wenger, then
deputy warden, would testify that
Armstrong had shown them the mon
ey he took from Green in the Otsego
hotel.
Fred Warren, a convict at Ionia
then appeared IN the case. II is al.
legged that Armstrong arranged with
Warren to procure damaging evidence
against Green In the form of let
tiers alleged TO have been sent TO
Green by members OF the Ionia board
OF control, acknowledging the receipt
of money.
A woman named May Adworth, a
close friend Of Warren's, was brought
here from Baltimore to make affidavlt
that she had seen the letters, but aft
er arriving here she refused to be-
come involved in the affair.
So many cases Of grating were
proved against Armstrong that his

was that he made a confession In
which he told all about the framed

ness in the present trial.
when he was called before the
