Prominent Lodge Members 10 Be
 Married at Fraternal Meeting
POSED AS SINGLE MAN
Eloping Minister, Gay Iiothario. For got" To Tell Lady Friends He Had A Wife in Norwich.

That there may be a divorce or a form of a divorce in existence legally separating Leon Ellsworth, the for mer Methodist minister who eloped with Miss Marjorie Turner, an East Berlin girl, last week, is the gist of the latest rumor.
 The story now gaining circulation and which cannot be verified, is to the effect that some time ago Els worth went to town in Texas, where he remained for three months, re- turning with the statement that he had obtained some kind of a divorce.
 Efforts to reach Mrs Ellsworth, in Norwich, New York, or a brother at Wesleyan today were productive of little success. But a number of East Berlin people admit having heard the story.
 It is said that when Ellsworth worked in a local five and ten cent store for two and one-half weeks last summer, he posed as a single man. The fact that he was married came as surprise to some of the young wom- en to whom he is said to have been attentive.
 Friends of Miss Turner are inclin- ed to feel that she was fooled into the belief that the divorce had been granted.

 "The burden of providing war in surance," MT.
