"All can say, Judge, is that ] had no

home in The Bronx, where no women
bothered me- ] had no thought OF matri-
mony, and had settled down to the happy
lot of an Embossed bachelor
Then one night. ] was foolish enough
10 accept an Invitation to a little even
ing party. They were mostly. younger
people. and the only one who seemed near
nv age was Miss Isabelle Burrows, a
trained nurse. Well, | found out she was
fifteen years older than I was, but she was
very nice. and we had A pleasant evening
together.
Now, can you believe IT, judge, that
this woman just set her cap for me from
that moment on? She gave me no peace
and kept after me. telling me how well II
would be for both OF us to get married.
7 told her that 7 was too old to marry,
but she answered that it didn't matter.
7 told her that had A good home. but
she said that II would be better still il
she had charge Of II. Finally one day,
just gave in and told her we would get
married.
she wanted an engagement ring and
wedding ring and other things, so ] TOOK
500 out of the bank and told her TO get
the rings she needed to become wife
in style. She got the rings, all right, and
when she came back she asked me TO let
her keep for a while the money that was
left I consented.
I'VE had a two weeks wedding trip
and then came back to set up housekeep-
Ing in my old bachelor quarters. at No.
1850 ogden avenue. in The Bronx. This
bliss lasted exactly three days.
THE third night. when I came home
tired from work. found my belongings
set out In front OF the house and won
dcred what had happened. rang the
bell. and she opened the door just "A lit
tie bit.
Go away Take your stun and go! You
don't belong here any more.' she yelled
at me.
Now. Judge. what kind OF honeymoon
is that? There / was. thrown out OF my
own house, and she kept even the money
that she had wanted for only little
while. tried to get that money. but she
would not talk to me. and II was then
that l wrote those postal cards.
The three postal cards. addressed 70
Mrs. l. Burrows. wife Of J. Van Buren,. "
10 Mime. Burrows, nurse and to Mrs.
Burrows. nurse" informed Mrs. Van
Buren, that unless she paid back the
money her husband had loaned her the
law would have 10 take it's course"
Commissioner Shields showed great
sympathy with Mr.. Van Buren's hard
luck and paroled him until Thursday for
