PRIEST To HEAL
LOVE BREACH

Remarriage by a priest of the
Greek Orthodox Catholic Church is
to bring peace to the stormy
romance of pretty Dorothy
Kalavitinos. Is years old, and
Lawson A. Heflir, whose marriage
in Rockville, Nd, January 20. re-
suited in all kinds of trouble for
everybody concerned.
Already there has been an arrest,
extradition. a grand jury hearing,
an Indictment and a trial which
ended with the jury hopelessly
deadIocked on the question of
whether the ceremony was legal.
Shortly after the couple plighted
their troth before the Rev. F. /.
Goode. pastor of the Rockville
Christian Church, police arrested
Mrs Evelyn Dora Wells. of GIT
Second ST. N. W., who accom-
panied the lovers to the Maryland
town.
Ostensibly, Mrs. Wells was arrest
ed because she sheared off the
beautiful hair of young Dorothy.
But the real reason was that she
had been indicted jointly with young
Heflin, on a charge OF conspiracy
to effect the marriage by repre-
senting herself as Dorothy's mother
and giving the girls age as 16.
Mrs. Kalavitinos, mother of the
bride, went to the Rockville court
house, believing she was to have
an opportunity to air her grievance
about Mrs Wells bobbing pro-
elivities. She discovered, however,
that the case on trial involved an
entirely different matter. and posi-
bly, might wreck the happiness of
her daughter.
Consequently, neither the prose
cution nor the defense was helped,
and the jury didn't know what to
think, and told the court as much.
The witnesses for and against
Mrs. Wells left the courthouse
amicably.
Yesterday, Mr.. and Mrs. Heflin,
accompanied by Mrs. Kalavitinos
herself, slipped back TO Rockville
and drew out another license.
Court attaches were told that the
second marriage would be by
