Jilting Mary Baker
Engaged to Marry
World War Veteran

Chicago, Nov. 5.-(AP)-Miss
Mary Landon Baker, the Chicago
girl who twice left Allister McCor-
mick waiting at the church in vain,
and who several times since has
been reported about to be married,
figures again in an engagement
story.
This one comes from London,
where the Daily Graphic says she
has plighted her troth to Captain
Ralph Peto, 48 year old World War
veteran, divorced two years ago by
a cousin of the Duchess of Rutland.
Captain Peto and Miss Baker are
in Venice from where she has sent
word that she will sail for home
Nov. IL. She did not mention any
engagement and relatives here could
not be reached. Mrs. Alfred L. Ba-
ker. her mother, Is with Mary.
Captain Peto at one time was In
the British diplomatic service. /,
In the World War he served first
with the cavalry and later with the
air forces.
1t was in 1922 that society. gather
ed in the fashionable Fourth Pres
byterian church for the arranged
McCormick-Baker wedding, was
startled by Mary's decision to call it
off. Her parents called in the in
vitations and said their daughter
was suffering from a nervous col
lapse.
Later she fed from Chicago with
the Tilted bridegroom-elect in hot
pursuit. His further plans for
marriage were futile and, later, in
England, he married Joan Stevens
of London.
The count, Mary and Mary's
mother, sailed for Europe on the
same boat last summer.

escaping from the penitentiary fol-

at the March criminal term in Hart

was found guilty.
Scores of witnesses from all parts
of the country were brought to

many cities testified to the parts the
accused had played in a series of
crimes that gave him the title of
the "super-bandit."
