 On July 1, 1920, Doty appeared at the local town clerks office and again took out license to marry, this time presenting Miss Janette Victory as his prospective bride. Deputy City Clerk Harry A.

At his solicitation she returned shortly afterward and they moved to Hartford where they have beelng living since. In the meantime, the first wife discovered that Doty had remarked and she reported the matter to the authorities. AS a result he was arrested yesterday by tho Capital City authorities and turned over to Detective Sergeant A. J. Richardson.
