Rector's Son Testifies
for Girl He Wed.
BELLEvILLE is SHOCKED
Justice Greenbaum Suggests
Reference of Evidence to
District Attorney.

Justice Greenbaum in the Supreme
Court yesterday annulied the marriage
of Mrs. Madeline Piercy ouennell, who
was married quietly in New Jersey last
March to Robert G. ouennell, a son Of
the Rev. Robert George ouennell, re-
tired rector OF the Episcopal Church of
the Ascension. After he had granted
the annulment Justice Greenbaum in
ouired the present whereabouts of young
Quenneli and intlmated that the facts
produced in the annulment proceedings
would be laid before the District At
torney.
The testimony produced by Leon Gins
berg of 1872 Nassau street, attorney for
the plaintiff, was that in June. 1908.
Quennell married Miss Jane Galbally.
After five years Of married life the
couple separated because of differences
on the question of religion, Mrs. ouen-
nell being q Catholic while her husband
was an Episcopalian. After the sepa-
ration Mrs. Quennell supported herself
through her literary talents and refused
to accede to Quennelrs request to di-
vorce him.
According to the testimony Quennell
met Miss Madeline Piercy in 1917 and
paid assiduous attehtion to her, being
a visitor almost nightly at her home In
Belleville, N. j., where she resided with
her parents. For two years the court
ship continued, and eliminated In the
marriage OF the couple on March Il,
1919. The wedding was social event
Of the New Jersey town. as the bride
and her parents are prominent in church
and social activities Of the place.
Three days after the marriage Quen-
nell took his new wife to. visit his mother
and four unmarried sisters. all Of whom
reside at 1873 West Eleventh street. This
meeting proved q great surprise to all
concerned, with the exception Of Quen-
nell. for the latter's mother expressed
her astonishment at her sons action and
informed the supposedly new daughter
in-law that Quennell already had a wife.
As a result of the shock Mrs. Quennell,
ST. became seriously Ill and Is still in
a dangerous condition.
The former Miss Piercy left her hus-
bands home and returned to her parents
in Belleville, starting proceedings next
day to have annulled the marriage.
Quennell's first wife took the stand dur
ing the hearing and testified to her mar
rage. Quennell was not present, but
was represented as a Formally by his
counsel, Col. Charles H. Luscomb OF Al
Park row.
After announcing that he would order
a decree annulling the second marriage,
Justice Greenbaum remarked that the
case was one which should be called to
the attention Of the District Attorney
He inquired the address Of Quennell.
The Rev. Robert George Quennell,
father of the plaintiff, retired from the
active ministry several years ago, after
having been for many years rector CT
the Church Of the Ascension, at Fifth.
