COURT MAY Be ASKED
TO A.NULL MARRIAGE
BeuIah YouSe, Bride of Million
aire, May Seek to Get Re-
lease From Husband.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, oct 81
That the marriage of Perry Hull
alias Charles L. Warren, poppy mil
lionaire in the "piffck" world, TO Beu-
Ian Youse Of w. Main St, is no we'd
ding at all, is evident since the girl
secured the license in Laporte county
by making false AFFIDAVIT regarding her
residence. The state marriage laws
require that a girl shall live in a
county 30 DAYS before she may secure
marriage license. Applicants are
required TO make affidavit as 10 resi-
dence. and the false statement is con-
sidered material and therefore
grounds for criminal prosecution.
Since she learned that her dreams
of affiuence of presiding over mag
nifcent mansion and being looked
upon as one of the society women OF
our community were only dreams
Beulah has quit hubby cold and has
not even inquired as TO his well-being
at the county Jail nor at police head
quarters. She has evidenced no in
terest whatever in his welfare and has
denied herself TO all visitors, as has
her mother. 1t generaly is taken by
relatives and close friends of the fam
ily that Reulah will make application
through the courts 70 have the mar
riage annulled, although the fact that
she swore to a false affidavit TO ac-
complish the union may cause her to
hesitate in this action.
In Good Spirits"
Hull, at the county jail today Is
showing no signs of an impending
nervous collapse and because Of this
the authorities are inclined 10 believe
that he may be securing dope I'm some
form or other. His own supply of
smoking tobacco will be taken from
him and another supplied, while the
stuff he has is tested TO determine
whether or not il is drugged. He
smokes a stub pipe constantly. When
denied his pipe for a few hours he
became extremely nervous and begged
piteously for its return. His story that
he quit using dope several weeks ago
is discounted by the police, who ~oint
to his recent activities as evidencinS
that he has been under the influence
of the drug constantly.
Worked in Other Places?
That Hull has worked gigantic
swindles in other cities within the last
few months and has flOated and OBJ
tanned money on several big checks
not yet uncovered, is the belief of
Police Chief LEM. who states that to-
morrow man Will be i'm Fort Wayne
to identify Hull as a check artist that
! flimmed him. Who this man is the
chief refuses to divulge and will not
even state what citv he halls from,
but acknowledges that it is none of
the checks mentioned yet. Most of
Hull's former flights in fanciful fl
nance took place several years ago.
but the ones the chief now is working
on were of more recent vintage.
May Not be Doper.
A doubt that Hull actually is a dope
fiend is being entertained as reason
able. He either is receiving dope of
some sort in the Jail or he is not an
addict of any drug. That much is GER
tain. as if he were addicted to a drug
habit deprivation of the stimulant for
As hours would result in a com
plete collapse. Hull, however, remains
as composed as the day he was ar
rested. He is highly nervous. of
course, but far from a total wreck a
dope fiend would be within As hours
after taking his last treatment"
If he is not getting dope in the Jail
il is obvious that his statement that
he has been eating opium is only an
other hallucinatiOn of weak mind
The state enjoys no right 10 inquire
into Hulls sanity until it is raised as
a plea in defense by his attorneys.
For that reason there will be no lun-
acy con- mission on the case prior TO
the preliminary hearing
