Find Stolen Car
Attorney Frank w. Butler, whose
Buick coupe was stolen from his
stable in the night time about three
weeks ago, has received word that
his car has been found by Sheriff
Torrey of Oxford county, about four
miles from South Paris village, but
the thief or thieves have not been
apprehended, although it is believed
to have been in the hands of a. gang
Of bootleggers, and further develop
ments are expected. According to
the speedometer the car had been
run about 1000 miles since it was
taken, and one of the bumpers ana
a door handle had been broken, but
otherwise the car is still in good
condition. The car will be repaired
in Lewiston before being returned to
Pennington. The taking of this car
was one of the boldest thefts thai
has occurred in Pennington in
years, for to get it is was necessary
to open the large stable door close to
the house, after entrance had been
gained by SIDE door, move a big
sedan out out into the yard, and then
take out the coupe. The family was
at home at the time, but was not
aroused, although neighbors heard a
noise. but as this was an occasional
occurrence nothing was thought of
it more than that some of the But
Ter family had come in late with a
car. The buildings are at the top
of hill and it is believed that the
car was pushed out to the street ana
allowed to coast down the hill before
the engine was started. Apparently
to delay pursuit, the sedan, which
was left in the yard, was locked and
the key taken away. The regiStra-
ton plates belonging to this car
were found in a cemetery a few
miles out of this village on the Will
ton road. a week or so after the car
was taken, and several rumors of
stolen cars resembling this one have
reached here. one from as far away
as Florida, but all previous clues
have proven false. The car was
found Sunday.

kAROLYI Plea

The Government, represented by
Assistant District Attorney Leo A..
Rover, before Justice Hitz In the
District Supreme Court, yesterday
opposed the motion Of Countess
Catherine Karolyi, Of Hungary, to re-
duire Secretary kellogg OF the
State Department to make more
specific his answer to her suit Tor
mandamus to compel the consul at
Paris to visa a passport for her en-
trance into the United States.
Counsel for the Government
argued that to grant the Countess
request would be tantamount to
compel the Secretary OF State to
divulge official secrets. The Gov
eminent declared that the Secretary
had given due consideration to the
evidence presented to him and had
concluded that the entrance into the
United States Of Countess Karolyl
would be prejudic.al to the United
States.
This decision was made in accord
ance with the Sacgetary's discretion
under the immigration laws and the
proclamation OF President Wilson
and is not renewable by the court,
Il was claimed by counsel Tor the
Government.
The matter was taken under ad.
visement by J istice Hitz.

Explanations followed incidentally
bringing out the fact that Jean de COur-

His marriage TO Eugenia was lust little

seriously
IL might be supposed that the real and
original Mrs. John W. Clark, disclosed as
rIghtful mistress Of the fiat, would, under
such circumstances, have proceeded to
RAISE siZablc row on her own account.
But not al all; nothing like that. She adj
dressed no approaches to her husband, but
joined him in trying TO sOOthc the girl and
10 persuade her to hush the matter up "for
the FAKE Of the baby"
But Eugcnia was not interested in the
baby and she was mad clean through. She
went home. told her family what had hap
pcned, and upon the advice Of her indig-
nant father launched an action against
young Clark, which involved the criminal
charge of bigamy.

his little grandStand.
The second floor of the spacious garage
building furnished a natural grandstand
Three big windows in the rear overlooked
the Jail yard. The top of the scaffold is
only ten or fifteen feet from the garage
windows. Everybody who could get into
the windows did so. Others crowded on
the roof of the garage-it is understood
they paid no admission price.
Another building overlooks the execu-
ton place. Its windows, too, were crowd
ed, as was a long fre-cscapc. If an adj
mittance fee was charged there, the pub
lie has not heard of it, Every point from
where the hanging could he seen was
crowded with what used to be known as
"a motley throng." Men and women
alike elbowed for a place to see. It is
estimated that more than two hundred
persons got into the garage windows and
thcreabouts. All who came were able to
see everything that went on from the time

irresistible Beauty and the Fou1Ie it Got Him Into

Clark went into hiding. He disappeared.
The real estate firm which had employed
him as a salesman declared his job vacant
Sad and serious trouble for the man who
was too beautiful.
In the meantime the authorities at Rock
vile got busy. If bigamous marriage
had been perpetrated there, the reputa-
ton of that fair town demanded to be
cleared up by punishment of the offender
A deputy sheriff, Stanley Gingell, was
accordingly despatched to Washington
with a warrant for Clark's arrest But
Clark was gone. Gingell hopefully stood
guard at the flat in Northbrcok Courts,
thinking that he might return. News
paper reporters kept a tircless watch in
vain.
Mrs. Clark, the real one, appeared to
take the situation quite calmly. She did
not like the fuss that was being made ;
1t was not worth while" Hell come
home again" she said. Having been mar
ried to the most beautiful man for four
years, she is probably used by this time
to his phiIanderngs. Anyway, this is the
twentieth century. Why stir up a row
over little matter like an extra wife or
two?
Eugcnia says: 81 can't understand now

him makes me sick. ] suppose ought to
