The wedding, which was to have taken
place during the early spring some time
before Easter, according to the original
plans, was looked forward to as one of
the events of the season. and for that
reason the postponement has caused
great disappointment in the younger set.
That the wedding will take place some
time in August is the authoritative an
nouncement from the family Of Miss
May.

ton having been obtained in Baltimore

Gibbons was to have performed the GER
emony.
Ambassador and Mrs. Bacon have

at this time was necessarily snort, they
urged delay until they can come 10

younger society folk. was one OF the
bridesmaids at the marriage of Countess
Luise Alexandra Won Bernstorff to
Count POurtales on March q. and has

fairs in the Capital.

detectives from the central office. on
information furnished by a representa-
tive of the Walsh estate. Major Syl-
vester personally took charge Of the
and questioned Sewell for
to send him to the asylum. The blotter
at Police Headquarters shows that
Sewell Is held for investigation"
Well dressed, highly educated, polish
ed in manner, Sewell is said to be pos
sessed of considerable means. and, ac-
cording TO his statement to the police,
came to Washington for the sole pur-
pose of thwarting the alleged plot. He
as serted that an unusually clever Tor
gerry scheme was on foot whereby the
Walsh estate might lose hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Sewell has been in Washington for the
last week and had been stopping at
the St. James Hotel. In his room the
police found a large suit case filled
with legal documents and other papers
of various descriptions which he said
bore out his contention.
The police decline to make public any
of these papers, or even discuss the case
at length.

about the Walsh estate" said Major
Sylvester, that he has evidently be-
come possessed of the idea that there is
a plot on foot 20 loot 1t. II is our opin-
ion that the man Is temporarily de-
