UNERIL WEDDING
NIGHT RELAXED

The marriage of John w. Montgom-
cry, 20 years old, of Bellefonte Pa,
to Peggy Unertl of Milwaukee, known
professionally as Peggy Udell, in the
Ziegfeld FOllies, was the climax to a
wild night and morning, according to
evidence given in the divorce proceed
ings at Elkton, Md, on Monday.
Montgomery is suing for divorce on
the ground that he was drunk when
the ceremony was performed.
He is represented by Omar d.
Crothers, and former Attorney Gen
eral Isaac Lobe Straus, while his wife
is represented by Harry B. Wolf of
Elkton.
Montgomery, who was first to go on
the stand, was brief in his testimony
combining his statement to his desire
to have the marriage annulled on the
grounds that he was intoxicated at
the time and did not know anything
about it. He testified that he had met
Miss Unertl and a Miss Gordon of
the same company. With two friends
he said, they took a taxicab at the
Garrick theater in Philadelphia. What
happened after that he alleged, was
not remembered by him because of
his intoxicated condition.
