FAIR BUT TICKLE
MARJORIE IS YET
IN POLICE CUSTODY
Admits Monday in Court That
She Is Mrs. Brightman-Her
Sentence Is Suspended-Girl
May Be Sent Home to New
Bedford, Mass.

Marjorie Brightman, who was ar
rested Saturday noon at the request
of the chief of police of New Bedford.
Mass. was brought before Judge Lam
caster Monday afternoon and called
upon to answer a number of questions
relative to her life's history before
coming to Maine. some of which an
swers tended to give the impression
that when it came to matrimonial re-
lations Marjorie did not exactly know
where she was at
The name Brightman was a new one
which came to the surface last Sat-
urday when request was received
by the authorities from the chief of
police of New Bedford, Mass, ask
ing for the girls arrest and which con-
tanned the information that she was
really Mrs. Brightman. having been
married to a man Of that name. j.
will be remembered that when first
brought before the court Marjorie
claimed that she was Mrs. Lowell At
wood, but afterward admitted to the
court under pressure that she had new
er been married to Atwood. and that
although during the dental cream cam
paign they had travelled as man and
wife, her real name was Sylvia.
When asked about the man Bright
man the girl admitted that she had
been married to man of that name
but that they had not lived together
very long, and vouchsafed the remark
that she thought that the marriage
had been annulled, although she could
not give any particular reason for her
belief in that line. 1t was also learn
ed by the court from answers given
by Marjorie that when she and Bright
man were married neither of them
were of age.
The date of her marriage was to her
very misty. according to her apparent
memory. but that did not seem to
cause her much worrirnent for she
smiled all through the interview with
the court. The judge at length dis
posed of the case for the time being
by suspending sentence and placing
Marjorie in the care Of City Marshal
Harwood. and while the girls future
may just now appear a little uncer-
tain there Is feeling on the part Of
some of the authorities that she will
eventually be sent back to New Bed
