Statement of Cousin Who Arranged

Danielson. June That 1t cost Frank M. Bates, the wealthy jeweler of Attleboro, who married Nan M. Cor rlgan here Tuesday night, $40,000 to be free from the wife who preceded her in his marital affections, was giv- en out here by Bates cousin, who made the arrangements for performing here the third marriage in which the groom has figured.~
 According to this cousin, Mrs. Bates No, had an unconqueraDle desire to "go on the stage" A divorce followed and the alimony, etc, figures up to the total mentioned. The cousin also re- lated while here that Bates would marry his present wife in spite of the hot place.
 As to Bates first venture in the field of marriage, the cousin charac- terized it as something of scheolboy escapade.
 Those who had 8 chance to observe Rates while he was in town were not impressed that he is the wealthy man he is credited with being. On the oth- CT hand, local people who caught glimpse or q lingering look at the bride are a unit in declaring her mighty pretty and interesting girl
 The touring car that the groom has given her as one minor wedding pres  cnt was not in evidence on the trip to Danielson The wedding party arrived here in an automobile that has seen better days. It was evidently garage car pressed into service after a late train from New York to Providence caused the couple to change their plans somewhat.
 The brides elegant outfit, told of in New York papers. was not exhibited at the ceremony performed in Judge A. C. Bills office. She wore a travelling suit of dark mixed material and a dainty little hat. The groom had on d black "cutaway' with braid trim llings as conspicuous garment of his wedding attire Neither he nor sine displayed any great perturbation after entering into wedlock, and Bates calmly lighted a cigar while standing reside the automobile, waiting for the chauffeur to get back from a lunch room where he had gone to get nasty oite while the marriage was being per- formed.
