full of endearing references to his wife.
1 do not believe that he murdered her,
From the few details available from
the cable dispatches. I believe that Porter
Is dead. too. From the cheerful tone Of
his last letter, am inclined TO believe
that some one, possibly one of her former
admirers, who followed them to Italy, is
al the bottom Of the tragedy. I am afraid
that both she and Porter are dead"

Mr.. Charlton said he knew nothing Of
his daughter -in-law prior 10 her marriage

Rev. DR.. Donald MacLeod's
aversion to officiating at weddings
where one of the contracting per
sons is a divorcee upset the matri-
monial dreams of Brodie L. Duke,
sixty-two years old, tobacco king,
and three times married, when he
sought to make Miss Mylanta Ros-
chelle, of 1928 G street northwest,
twenty-six years old, his bride yes
terday.
The wedding was scheduled for
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
a license was obtained in the morn
ing. DR.. Macleod, who is pastor
of First Presbyterian Church, re-
fused emphatically to unite the cou-
pie when he learned of Dukes for
mer weddings.
RETURNS IN TEARS.
The bride-to-be dissolved into tears and
returned to her boarding house, to be
comforted by Mrs. Mary Horsley. the
landIady. who had chaperoned the pretty
little Carolinian during Dukes tempestu-
Gus courtshtp OF six months.
Duke. who Is stopping at the Ebbitt
House. had net returned to his rooms at
hotel clerks. His baggage had not been
taken away.
The rest of the adventures Of the day
are wrapped IN mystery. There were half
a dozen conflicting stories circulating last
night.
Miss Roschelle and Duke are both from
Durham, N c She came TO Washington
six months ago. and Duke Is said 20 have
visited her boarding house. on G street,
repeatedly since that time. The girl has
been studying dressmaking and millinery
here.
Left in Taxicab.
She took her meals at another boarding
house next door, and fellow -boarders de-
elared emphatieally that Duke and his
bride-to-be left In a taxi last night direct
ly after supper
This was denied by Mrs, Horsiey, The
motherly landlady asserted vehemently
that Miss Roschelle knew nothing Of
Dukes marriage intentions, and had not
dreamed Of joining him in wedlock
she is rather pretty and wears decided
" nice clothes, Duke looks every day of
his sixty-tWo summers, When they left
last night. according to the story of the
neighbors. the girl wore a neat green
walking suit with big black hat
The last. and the third, time that Duke
ventured upon the sea Of matrimony was
five years ago, when Mrs. Alice Webb, of
New York City. claimed him as husband.
That matrimonial ENHANCEMENT led TO
Mr. Dukes being confined In e private
saaitarium on Long Island upon the COM
plant OF Mrs. Webb. The entire Duke
family came to his rescue on that occa-
sion, secured his release and eventually
an annulment Of the marriage that was
supposed TO have taken place between
him and Mrs. Webb.
Three days ago he came to the house
with his suit case in his hand, but could
not get a room. so he went 10 the Ebbitt,
according TO several romantic nelghbors
who kept their eye on things
Yesterday morning Mr.. Duke and a
friend whose identity could not be
learned appeared at the marriage license
Office az City Hall shortly after O'clock.
The tobacco king bashfully admitted he
wanted a license.
The dlling out Of the marriage license
proceeded smoothly enough until the
clerk asked Mr. Duke If he had ever
been married before. Mr., Duke, for the
life or him. could not see what that
