REAM ANNULMENT SUIT.
Contention That No Marriage License Was Ever Issued to Thompson Man and Actress.


 There is a great deal of local inter- est in the case of Miss Eleanor Pendle- ton Davidson, who, at Amsterdam, N. r., is trying to set aside the annul- ment of her marriage with Louis Mar shall Ream, so that she may sue for a share of the $50, 100000 left by his fa- ther, Norman B. Ream, the tinplate magnate, whose beautiful country es- tate is in Thompson.
 Saturday in his argument at Anster- Gam former Secretary of War Lindley M. Garrison, for Louis Marshall Ream, said that the latter was never legally married to Eleanor Pendleton David son of the Slim Princess" company who sought to have annulment. action won by Ream four years ago set aside Judge Borst at the conclusion of MT. Garrison's argument announced that he would reserve decision. Ream is the son of Norman B. Ream, the tinplate and biscuit man who left a fortune estimated at $50, 000, ,000.
 In answering former Senator Edgar L. Bracket, MT. Garrison contended that no marriage license had been is- sued to the couple in the state of New refers in detail to the taxicab trip Ream, Miss Davidson and her sister Mrs. Mary Demory, took to Wee hawken and Union Hill, where unsuc- cessful attempts were made to have a justice Of the peace wed the couple.
 Telegrams and letters were read in court, covering the time the couple met at the Beaux Arts, Huntington, Long Island, on July 8, 1911, until they were married, on Sept. of that year. Once, when the actress told Ream he was insincere and she could not marry man like that, he wrote:
 don't understand your attitude at all, except that you have badly mis- judged me. But no matter what you may say or see or think, will always love you with all my heart and soul wish to God could die. If at any the end of the earth.
 Senator Bracket in his argument declared Miss Davidson would be en- titled to all the rights of a wife if her marital status were restored, as she confidently expects. In that case, if MT. Ream does not provide for her | financially, she will sue for her share of the Ream millions.
