 Arrest Follows

New York, Aug. 17.--While eating a late breakfast with his bride of two weeks who was Miss Clarissa Pres colt, formerly of Louisiana, Jere John son Warren, a reputed millionaire and sugar planter of Key West and Havana, today, was arrested on a charge of bagamy Sheriff Hezekiah Elwood, of Fairfield, invaded War ren's Central Park West apartment and made the arrest, on complaint of a woman who said she was the legal Mrs. Warren, of Key West. Warren and Miss Prescott were married at midnight, August l., at Fairfield

Boyle the marrying justice of Fairfield county, stating that he was just the "fxer" to look up.i Their auto was awaiting outside and the chauffeur was told to burn up the road to Fairfield. The party drew up to the Boyle pharmacy at 9:30 o'clock. Justice Boyle was preparing the fixings when he in- quired if Warren had the marriage license. There was the stumble The town @clerk's office was closed, but MT. Murphy had an idea. He was an EA and knew that Town Clerk Flint was also an Elk and was pre- siding at the meeting of the Bridge port lodge that evening. The license was thus secured and the couple were married.
 As the couple were married in this town the complaint was made here Warren will be brought here and hailed before a grand juror. When Warren secured his license he stated that he was a widower.
