Justice Declines Gypsy Baby

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, May s
(Copyright) .-Gypsies offered a baby
in payment of a $25 fine assessed
against a buxom Romany girl in JUS
tice Bob Coles court here.
Was the charge that of borrowing a
farmers horse for the caravan or of
impolite palmistry or eating with their
knives? No, the charge against the
Lady Babbie of the party was that of
stealing three auto tires. Gypsies
have long since given up covered
wagons in favor of the flivver.
When the Justice heard the baby

he suffered the second shock OF the

been snuffed short of the altar by her
father. The best years of her life
were barren of romance. Then a
knight who promised to rescue her
from this monotonous isolation ap-
peared on the scene in the person of
Phillip Houston.
A casual acquaintanceship ripened
into love and Alice forgot the creed
Of her father in her new.found happi.

at first of the growing friendship. He
believed that his sister was beyond

brother than his sister had been

by the family, opened her doors to the

WIFE NO. z URGED
MARRIAGE DESPITE
NO. 1,SAyS MAYO
Presence of Accusing Spouse
at Counsel Table Doesn't
Ruffle Defendant.

Testifying in his own defense, Vir-
ginius st. Julian Mayo, wealthy auto
radiator manufacturer on trial for
bigamy before Justice Edward r.
Finch, in the criminal branch of the
Supreme Court, to-day repeated the
circumstances Of his association with
Wilhelmina Meyer, whom he is al
legged to have married April 2, 1904.
in Brooklyn, although at that time
he had a wife and three children iv-
ing in Scranton, Pa.
A few moments after Mayo took the
witness stand, Assistant District At
torney Hugo Wintner asked permis-
sion of the court to have Miss Meyer
sit at his side Of the counsel table.
Unabashed by the PROXIMITY of the
complaining witness, Mayo continued
his testimony concerning their rela-
tions.
Not only did Miss Meyer know that
he had wife at the time OF the
marriage, said Mayo, but 1t was at
her suggestion that the fictitious name
of V. Julian May was used by him
in the marriage certificate.
In reply TO questions by his coun-
sci, George Gordon Battle, Mayo tes-
titled that Miss Meyer was anxious
to re-establish herself in the good
Graces Of her wealthy grandmother
by showing her a marriage certifi-
cate.
81 told her I didn't know how !
could arrange a marriage legally" Z"
Mayo continued. IT said IL was
dangerous. for although hadn't
heard from my wife in years, l
didn't know whether she was dead
or alive. Miss Meyer said that IL
the thing could be done 1t would be
kept absolutely quiet. She promised
she would not tell soul And she
kept her word for a long period OF
years"
Mayo then related how at her sug-
gestion the fictitious name was used
aiter several ulScuSSlonS concerning
the choice of name.
At this point Assistant District At
torney Wintner interposed to object
that this entire story. even IL true,
would be no defense to the charge
against Mayo, and that be would ask
the Judge so to instruct the jury.
Lois Waterbury Mayo. to whom
Mayo has been married since 1917
but who from 1912 lived at the house
ut No. 546 Fourth Street. Brooklyn,
which Mayo maintained. was at the

ing and waited her turn in the cor
ridor outside the courtroom to be
called as a witness. Mayo's daugh-

JACKSONS' WILLS
NAME NIECE AND
SON SOLE HEIRS
TeStamentS of Aged Couple
Killed by Gas Found in
Brooklyn Vault.

An official connected with the
Kings County surrogate's office
found to-day in a Brooklyn safe de-
post box the will Of Mrs. Annie
Jackson, who. with her husband, Fre-
mont NJ jackson, died last week of
the effects OF cyanogen gas used for
fumigating purposes in the Hotel
Margaret Annex, Columbia Heights,
Brooklyn. The will was dated Dec.
Z. 1921.
In the same box was a copy OF a
will signed by Fremont NJ. jackson on
Jan. 5, 1920, prior to his marriage to
the woman who died with him. She
was a widow-Mrs. Warren-and he
was a widower when they were mar
ried.
Mrs. Jackson had a son by her first
marriage, Russell Doten Warren, who
disappeared in Chicago in 1916 and
has not been heard from since. The
will provides that another son and
her sole heir, Winfield Warren, OF
Lawrence, Mass, shall set aside a
trust fund of $4,000 for the use of the
missing son If he be found before Jan.
/, 1925. If Russell Warren has not
appeared on that date Winfield War
rem is to take possession of the trust
fund
Mr.. Jackson's will bequeathes about
$4,000 to charities and personal
friends. To Mrs. Yara Esther Brain
ard of East Orange, N. j., niece of
his first wife, Ia left an apartment
house at No. 405 West SD Street and
all the household effects and personal
property of the decedent. The residue
of the estate-real estate, stocks and
bonds--is to be equally divided be-
tween Mrs. Brainard and the Baptist
Home for the Aged, at No. 116 East
T6sth Street. Mr.. Jackson's friends
estimated his wealth at close to
$500, 900.
In case Mr.. Jackson did not make a
will after he married Mrs. Warren,
there will arise in the settlement of
the estate the question of whether he
or his wife died first. n Mrs. Jack
son survived her husband even for
only few minutes the law has held
that she would be legally entitled tc
her dover share in his estate and hel
heirs would have a claim upon 1t.
A test made yesterday with flash
