A triangle love affair which had its
elimination in an alleged mock mar
riage was uncovered today by Detec-
tive Sergts. Thomas Sweeney and
Frank Burr. following the arrest in
New York of George Campbell Chat
terton. twenty-seven years old. gradu-
ate of a medical school and erstwhile
inferno at Garfield Hospital, who gave
his address as 453 Massachusetts ave-
nue. northwest, on a statutory charge
and one of forgery.
Jointly charged with forgery with
Chatterton is Miss Adolphia Sharp,
pretty war worker from Chattanooga,
Tenn. whom he is alleged to have
married several months ago in Phila-
delphia, but who later discovered she
had undergone a mock marriage in
the Quaker City, according to what
she told detectives, the police say.
Miss Sharp is now out on bonds on the
forgery charge.
Chatterton, who admits being
married man. declaring that his wife
lives at Galveston, Tex. was arrested
in Norfolk by Detective Sweeney
on Tuesday and brought to Washing
ton for trial this morning. He ad-
mitted, the detectives say, that he
wrote forged checks which he gave
to Miss Sharp to have cashed. Miss
Sharp also admits, the police say, that
she cashed checks amounting to
nearly 5000 which had been given her
by Chatterton.
Courted Her While Patient.
Although Chatterton has a wife in
Galveston, to whom he regularly has
written, he is alleged to have courted
Miss Sharp while she was patient at
the Garfield Hospital 1t is alleged he
posed as unmarried, and the couple
are said to have gone to Philadelphia,
where the bogus marriage is said to
have taken place.
II believed him my husband. and /
believed the checks he gave me were
good, Miss Sharp told the detectives
She first confided to her sister that
she had undergone a mock marriage
liz Philadelphia, not making the dis
covery until several weeks ago, after
Chatterton had disappeared when de-
tectives sought him on charges Of ne
gotiating forged checks.
Chatterton refuses today to tell of
the alleged bogus marriage, despite
the admissions made by Miss Sharp.
The young woman is said to be pros
trated over the deception, and the
fact that she was made the scsSegoat
for the output of alleged forged
checks. In cashing the checks on
Washington merchants, Miss Sharp
explained she made purchases and
presented the forged checks, receiv-
ing a balance in cash.
Gave Money To Chattertoa.
"The money I always gave to Chat
terton," Miss Sharp told the detec-
ives.
1t was after Miss Sharp had been
arrested on charges OF passing bogus
checks that she told Of receiving
them from Chatterton. Warrants

Be thankful that so far as
America is concerned the Peace
League is dead. It would have
kept this country at war and its
citizens under heavy taxation for
years. 1t would probably have
ended in a world war against
America
Be thankful that your country
made its big experiment more
than a hundred years ago, went
through the fire successfully, and
is not burning up now, like Rus

Be thankful that you got into
the war late and got out of it
soon; you and your nation would
