HE Barred LOVE IN BOOK

There are vast numbers of folks who
will agree that Dominic Maria might
have loved slightly less and avoided the
police. but there Is none to say he could
have done more than he did to gather
in, for better or worse. Miss Anna Carey
of S5H Sackett street. Brooklyn.
Until Mr.. Maria appeared in the Fifth
avenue court. Brooklyn, yesterday be-
fore Magistrate Reynolds his love for
Miss Carey was nobody's business ex-
cept theirs. But 1t so happens that Miss
Carey. who is attractive and who
teaches children in the Visitation Paro-
chial School. Brooklyn. decided that
while Mr.. Marra's attentions were fiat
tering they were also annoying and
somewhat disconcerting. When man
takes to writing two part book about
your lack of enthusiasm for him and
thinks nothing of standing on the stoop
winters night it is time to do some
thing about it--marry him or some
thing.
Miss Carey did the only thing that ap-
peared to her as reasonable. She had
Mr.. Maria, who is a salesman and who
lives at 93 President street, Brooklyn,
arrested. The arrest took place last
Saturday night Miss Carey saying that
Mr. Maria had informed 1er he was
coming in motor car to steal her away
willy nilly and SO forth. He was held in
$500 bail for appearance yesterday.
Tank Corps Veteran.
In the possession of Miss Carey and
her lawyer, Henry ]. Beilman, 100
Montague street. as they appeared in
accusation of Mr.. Maria, were twenty
letters and the manuscript of THE Out
law Lover" Mr.. Marra's maiden foray
into literature. THE Outlaw Lover" be-
longs to the school of realism. 1t is
quite few leagues ahead of ID. II. Law
renee, Evelyn Scott. Sinclair Lewis. Ben
Hecht, Floyd Dell. Charles G. Norris
and the like 1t might be explained that
Mr. Maria served his country we'll and
freely in the tank corps during the late
war, and while this account of his pri-
vate affairs does not aspire to literary
criticism, yet there are evidences In this
manuscript that Mr.. Marra's expert
ences at the wheel Of a whippet have
influenced his pen.
The letters written to Miss Carey by
Mr.. Maria are just letters. Millions
like them have carried a similar
message. But 1.-THE outlaw Lover IS
nothing more or hess than raw soul
on paper. The first part Is called by
it's author "A True Fact of True Love.
Square Love. Mean Love. Wicked Love,
Unfair Love-" The subjects are dealt
with fsrvently and without Victorian
restraint Mr.. Maria feels emotion and
promptly puts it into the written word.
For example he cites the evening when
he and Miss Carey listened to Tristan
and Isolde
"The outlaw lover went into a
blush" he writes. when he invited her
to the opera and she went into blush.
too, and they became inseparable
friends
He does not record what effect the
wagnerian love drama may have had
upon Miss Carey (probably none). but
sees himself as the unhappy Tristdn.
Then he hustles on to part two of
THE Outlaw Lover" which Is called
THE Outlaw Lover and the Woman
Who Broke Her Word" Miss Carey
insists she couldn't have broken her
word inasmuch as she never pledged
1t with Mr.. Maria.
Too Much Wooing.
She told the court she was sorry for
Mr.. Maria. but that she had had just
about as much wooing as she could
stand for the time being. Therefore
she asked the court to do the right
thing by. her and Mr.. Maria, whatever
II might be. She showed lettsrs In
which Mr.. Maria threatened to come
and get her unless she agreed to sur
render. He informed her. she says, he
was considering snatching her into a
motor car and making away with her
just as Lochinvar did at the dance that
night.
She added that she was getting tired
of having Mr.. Maria tell her he might
be prompted to use force unless she
quit spurning him and that this was
no weather for young men to be stand
ing around the stoop for six or eight
hours at stretch, as Mr.. Maria IL said
to have done. Magistrate Reynolds,
deciding that Mr.. Maria presented a
problem not to be dismissed lightly.
adjourned the case until next wednes-
day. Miss Carey and her lawyer i'm
pounded the letters and the manuscript
of THE OUTLAW Lover and nefused to
have the latter scanned by the numer-
