Writer Known as Fiction
Factory; Married Rich
cate Widow.

Henry . Bedford-Jones ~, the
fiction factory" Of Evansville, Ind,
and La Jolla, Cal, arrested here to-
day, will battle return to Evans
vile to face citation for contempt
Of court.
Arrested at 3017 Washington bou-
levard here today, on request of
Evansville authorities, he indicated
at once that he will fight return to
Evansville where Superior Judge
Walter Henning plans to place him
under a bond to bring his daughter,
Nancy Jane, from the home of her
grandfather, the Rev. William Bed
ford-JoneS at La Jolla, Cal, into
court in answer to a court order.
Bedford-Jones was released on
S1,1OO bond signed by Howard G.
Marmon of the Columbia Club.
Called Fiction Factory"
Citation for contempt of court
was issued when Bedford-Jones,
visiting Evansville Saturday to see
a son, i'll at a hospital there. wrote
Judge Henning that he was "un-
able" to produce the daughter in
court | nanswer to q court order.
Bedford-Jones, whose writings
have appeared under at least ten
different names and who has been
labeled "the fiction factory" due to
his practice Of writing at least 5000
words of fiction material daily,
welded a millionaire widow a few
months after a divorce had been
granted his former wife at Evans
vile. The three children, n at
| Evansville, the other in California
and a daughter at Ladywood-for-
Girls school here, are wards OF the
Superior court at Evansville.
Grandfather Seeks Child
Bedford-Jones eluded police and
deputy sheriffs at Evansville Satur-
day afternoon who sought to serve
him with a summons to court on the
contempt citation.
The grandfather in California has
filed a petition with California
courts to adopt the daughter living
with him and Judge Henning re-
CARDS the act as q subterfuge to gain
custody of the child for the father.
Following the divorce case custody
of the children was denied both
mother and father.
The Bedford-Jones divorce case
was tried last year. A few months
after the divorce was granted, the
author welded Mrs. Mary Ber-
hardin, widow Of Alfred Bernardin

alienation of affections against the
former Mrs. Bernardin was filed in
court at Chicago and the summons
was served on the Bedford-Joneses
while they we're at a Chicago hotel
The case has not been tried.
