Right to Remarry.
on August | last Mr.. Warren mar
ried again at Bridgeport. Conn. Ills
second wife was Miss Clarissa V. Pres
colt. of Shreveport. La, member OF a
well known Louisiana family. They
took an apartment in this city at No.
323 Central Park West. Seventeen
days after his second marriage Mr..

trates' courts. Mr.. Warren obtained an
order from the Supreme Court of New

learned that the warrant had been is
sued at the instance Of a subordinate
prosecuting official. who, however. was
acting as counsel for the first Mrs.
Warren instead Of i'm his official capac-
ity. Mr.. Warren's attorney was able
to prove &c the satisfaction of the au-
thorities in Connecticut that his client
had been legally divorced from his first
wife and had right to remarry. He
declared that the arrest of the planter
was an attempt at blackmail. The
proceeding against Mr.. Warren were
thereupon dismissed; but he had a
grievance. His character had been at
tackled, he said, his reputation had
been injured and his arrest had caused
him great modification. SO Mr.. War
rem decided on re 'risal. His move was
TO bring the suit against his former
wife and lis son.
Mr.. Warren told in his affidavit about
two visits that his son paid him in this
city, on which occasions the father
asked how much more money she
wanted. The son threatened before
the arrest Of Mr.. Warren that his
mother was coming 10 New York 10
make trouble for his father. Mr.. War
rem threatened i'm turn TO cause their
arrest for blackmail.
