Thus Explain Action.

There is nothing to be said about it
any more than Of any elopement. l had
the affair worked out long before. and
II there is a mystery about it my plans
have worked WELL"
A. L. Sanders thus commented on his
recent marriage with Miss Blanche Ma
lone. daughter Of one Of the wealthiest
families in West Virginia and until few
weeks ago a pupil at the Mount Vernon
Seminary, HOO M street northwest, this
city.
Mr. and Mrs. Sanders, after q four-day
stay in parts unknown, registered at the
Cochran Hotel Wednesday. Their stop In
Washington may last a month, as Mr..
Sanders plans are not yet completed
They are spending the time riding around
Washington and nearby points in hand
some car, which Mr. Sanders. as chauffeur,
drove for his wife while she was a pupil
at the local seminary.
I'VE do not intend to return to Fair
mont" he said this afternoon. II do
not know where we will go. l am wait
ing for something to materialize. We
may go to Fairmont later, but as / feel
now, It will not be in the near future"

rapidly disappeared.

both to his daughter and to Mrs. Malone
In suggesting explanations for the young

have filed, to some extent, at least, in

Malone's death.
Il is considered probable that the
friendship or infatuation begun then re-
fused to yield even after Sanders dis
missal. and that a secret meeting and
marriage was arranged for before Miss
Malone entered the local seminary last
October.
