by thought whose temptation was

However, I am connected with the

Remarkable Marital Record.
Police Investigating.

A mysterious telephone call had the
police hard at work Thursday unrav-
cling an astonishing marital tangle in
which youthful and pretty Mrs. Cora
Barber, who first abandoned single
blessedness at the age of Is, was the
principal figure.
The call came from the Pryor Ho-

A. Barber was beating his wife. Po-
licemen Hazlett and Bairfield arrest
ed Barber, who, with his young bride,
was arraigned before Recorder

charge, and the case was about TO COL

Harry Fleming, at Canton, in 1909;
divorced 1912, and Barber, in Doug

The police, however, produced let
ter tending to show that another hus-
band figured--Joseph B. Chance, who
was alleged to have claimed her as his
bride in Marietta in 1918. This let

signed herself Mrs. Cora Chance
was alleged to have written:

DIR. Smith said he did not believe
Mrs Barber had secured a divorce
from Chance and the Recorder
thought an investigation necessary.
He had Barber and his wife put
under bond.
Says Smith Was Rejected.
Mrs. Barber explained Smiths ami
mus with the declaration that he had
pursued her for three years with flu

had threatened to kill her if she
didn't. Smith, however, said she had
entered his drug store and thrown
her arms about him.

the statement made at New Orleans

President Huerta to-day issued a
proclamation imposing heavy. taxes
upon churches in Mexico. The money
thus raised will be used in paying off
