MAN COULD NOT FIND
TIME FOR MARRIAGE
So Prosper and Sedonia DeSlover
Live Together Out of Wedlock
Both Arrested.

Extreme criminal conditions were
brought to the attention of the po-
lice authorities yesterday by people
residing in the vicinity of Fifth
street and Fourteenth avenue and
this morning the offending parties
were brought before Police Magis-
trate c. ]. Smith. Prosper DeSlover
and Sedonia DeSlover, it was claim
ed, had lived together three years
out of wedlock and that there was a
child 10 months old born to them.
Both admitted the charges were
true, but explained that it was their
intention to marry. When asked why
they had not already done so, the
men explained that he had been un-
able to find time to go through the
ceremony. The woman stated that
she was ready at any time but that
it takes more than one to bring
about a marriage. Both were bound
over to the grand jury under $500
bonds.
Three years ago the husband of
the woman died. Since that time
the brother, Prosper DeSlover, has
lived with his brothers family. The
conditions which have existed in the
DeSlover household were first
brought to light by statements made
by some of the older children to
their playmates in Grant school.
There was another story of nearly
the same nature in the same neigh
borhood and the parties were arrest
ed and this morning after the case
was heard they were dismissed.
