DARNELL
"MARRYING PARS0N" IS TO
FIGHT EXTRACTION HARD
Denies That He Is Father OF
Child Born To Ruth S0per;
OWat0Bna

st. Paul, April THE latest de-
yelopment in the case of James Nor
rison Darnell, marrying parson,"
who has been indicted on charge of
childs abandonment by an Owatonna
grand Jury and is living with his
fourth wife at Rockford. ILL.,, is MS
announcement, according to dispatch
es that he will begin action, through
his attorneys, in an effort to prove
before the governor of Illinois at
Springfield, that he is not the father
of Ruth Soper's child.
Deputy Shtriff Joseph Fisher OF
Owatonna arrived at Rockford Sat
urday armed with requisition papers
issued by Governor Burnquist Fri
day, Darnell, however, had declared
that he would fight extradition. He
and his lawyer, Carl H. LinscOtt of
Rockford, together with Deputy Sher-
if Fisher and attorneys representing
the state was intending TO leave
Rockford today for Springfield, where
they will argue the matter before the
governor.
Charge Made BY Darnell.
Ruth SOper, the mother of the child
and second wife of Darnell. is at her
home in Owatonna, awaiting the ar
rival there of Darnell to appear
against him when he is tried for child
abandonment.
Darnell is said to have declared
that she is seeking to get share of
$50, 900 inheritance which he recent
fy acquired.
Darnell was arrested at Rockford
Friday on fugitive warrant, but
later released on $1,000 bail.
The latest Mrs. DarnTl, living with
the parson at the time of his arrest,
was a win3ome school girl at Elgin,,
Ill.,, when she eloped with Darnell,
February "a, 1919. They were mar
ried, using assumed names, at Belvi-
dere, ILL.,, that same day.
Fourth Wife Sticks to Darnell.
She is only eighteen years old and
was to have been graduated from Ell
gin high school in juno. She is the
stepdaughter of W. c. Wood, who ar
rived in Rockford Friday to take her
back to Elgin.
Mrs. Darnell No. refused to see
her stepfather, however, saying that
she would stay with her husband
through his trouble.
"He has come to take me back,
has he?" she said. well, won't go.
I'll stick to my husband through
thick and thin. l guess / am about
old enough to know my own mind
now and | will do as see fit. He
may as well go back where he came
from, as will not see him, let alone
think of returning with him.
My husband is good to meas
good as a husband could be-and
intend to stay with him"
The new Darnell romance has come
as great blow to the girls home
town. The people are all in hubbub
over the matter.
