Woman Tells Her Story In Answer 10
Suit To AnnuI Marriage.

The story Of a woman who quarrel
ed with her fiancee on the day set for
their marriage, welded another man
through pique, and Immediately re-
GREETED her act and went to live as
the wife of the man she had intended
to marry is told in papers filed in the
Supreme Court OF New York in a suit
brought by Charles %. De Lisle, OF $40
Riverside Drive to annul hi union
with Mrs. Lilias ID Isle
DE Lisle alleged that when he mar
ried the defendant on January III, 1910.
she was already the wife of another
man.
The facts in the unusual case, which
will present puZzling situation to tie
courts, are told in the answer of Mrs.
De Lisle. She states that in April,
1903, she went through a form Of mar
rage ceremony in Hamilton, Ont, with
one Thomas Gilmore, solely out OF
pique and following quarrel with
the present plaintiff to whom she was
to be married on the same day"
The defendant alleges that on her
wedding day, shortly after the mar
rage with Gilmore, De Isle came to
her, begged her pardon and urged her
to go with him, Saying that there
was no marriage because the cere-
mony had not been performed in a
Roman Catholic Church. Mrs. De
Lisle says she then told Gilmore that
she didn't love him and had only mar
ried him To spite her sweetheart She
asked Gilmore to release her, and says
he tore up the marriage license on the
spot and left her, promising to Put her
out of his life.
Mrs. De Lisle says that under the
urging of the plaintiff she came to
New York with him, and they told
their friends here that they had been
married in Canada. In 1907 Mrs. De
Lisle says, De Lisle told her that since
Gilmore had not been heard from they
could be married. Mrs. DE Lisle says
heard that he had been killed in Cali
fornia. "A child was born to her on
July /, 1909 They waited until Jan
uary II, 1910, when seven years had
elapsed since they had heard from
Gilmore, and then they were married.
The defendant declares she lived
happily for the most part until May
last, when her husband left her and
said he intended to sue to annul their
marriage, having conducted an inves-
tigation which convinced him that
Gilmore was still alive. she says she
knew he had many love affairs, but
because OF her love for him she urged
him to return to her and always for
gave him for his conduct.
Mrs. De Lisle says the plaintiff te
came estranged in December, 1914,
through the influence of a woman
whom she met and who told me she
intended to take my husband away
from me-" The defendant says De
Lisle has spent great deal or money
on this woman, with the result that
whereas he was generous to her Be
fore, he then refused to pay the
household expenses. She says that
her husband was induced to make the
search for Gilmore by the other wo-
man, who urged him to annul his
present union and marry her.
Gilmore has also remarked and is
living happily with his wife and child
rem, Mrs. De Lisle said.
