PITTSBURGH POLITICIAN
BEING HELD in CUSTODY
Is Charged with Marrying Mary
land Widow at Oakland When
He Already Had Wife
HAS PRELIMINARY TRIAL

Charged with marrying a
Maryland widow and using her
life's savings to further his cam
paign for director of the poor in
the recent primary election in
Allegheny county, Pennsylva-
mia, while he had a wife living
in Pittsburgh, Edgar F. Corne-
Illus, A, a city employee of Pitts
burgh, was committed TO Jail
in that city on Friday, December 4,
on a charge of bigamy. Garrett coun-
ty authorities brought Cornelius to
the Oakland Jail on Saturday.
At a preliminary hearing before
Justice w. A. Gender on Tuesday af-
ternoon, Cornelius waived a hearing
and is being held in default of $1,000
bond for his appearance at the March
Term of the Circuit Court. In de-
fault of bond he was recommitted to
the Garrett County Jail.
Cornelius is known as a politician
and was arrested at the Pittsburgh
City Home at MAYHEM where he had
been employed as an attendant since
his political defeat. He was taken on
a furgitive from justice warrant is
sued in Pittsburgh upon information
filed by wronged widow, who had
been searching for Cornelius who de-
serted her after a three days honey
moon.
The complainant is Mrs. Marie
Gank, 43, blonde and determined. She
informed authorities that on August
10 she met Cornelius while he was on
a vacation in Oakland. From the very
first meeting she says Cornelius made
fast and desperate love to her. He
represented that he would be elected
to a high office in Allegheny county,
Pa, and on the strength of that they
were married.
The records in the office of the
Garrett County Clerk of the Circuit
Court show that on August 10 mar
riage license was granted to Edward
F. Cornelius, As, salesman, who gave
his address as San Antonio, Texas,
and Marie Gank, 81, Keyser, w. Va.
He claimed to be widower, dating
back to December II, 1918, while Mrs.
Gank became a widow on March II,
1928.
A few days after the marriage, she
declares, her new husband borrowed
$500 from her and went to Pitts
burgh. He promised to return, ac-
cording to Mrs. Gank, after the cleo
ton and pay back the borrowed
money. Mrs. Gank says she did not
see Cornelius again until after his
arrest and detention at detective head
quarters in Pittsburgh, nor had she
had any message from him.
Becoming suspicious, Mrs. Gank
performed a little sleuthing on her
own hook and learned that Cornelius
had a wife living and that he was
employed by the City Of Pittsburgh.
She swore out bigamy warrant and
took it to Pittsburgh on Friday. Cor
nelius was arrested while at work and
was taken to detective headquarters
where Mrs. Gank identified him. Cor
nelius was philosophical in facing the
widow and said: Il guess / pulled a
boner."
eyes, you did that, all right; but
what about my money and my fu-
ture?" said Mrs. Gank.

The Oakland Volunteer Fire De-
partment answered two out of town
calls during the week, one to extin-
guish a blaze in the home of c,

blaze had been put out before the To-
cal department arrived.

a disastrous woods fire ragged for two
hours near the lake at the Park, on
Tuesday night. The efforts of the
members of the department, combined
with a slight drizzle of rain, soon
stopped the blaze. Approximately 20
acres were burned. The origin Of the
fire is not known.
Flue Fire Extinguished
The Oakland Volunteer Fire de-
partment was called out about 9 o.
clock Monday morning to extinguish
flue fire in the chimney of the home

important banksfs in the present difficulties.
 In the trying times of 1s93-4 and 1907 two other presidents, Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt. also turned to Wall street. But the power to which they turned was the power of the late John Pier pont Morgan.
 The present Morgan is now in Paris. His firm has a part in or ganizing the great reservoir of credit for which the Hoover plan calls. But it will not be the dra- matic role that the elder Morgan took one snowy day in February of 1894. That day he dictated to the unwilling and reluctant Grover Cleveland the terms upon which he would stop the most disastrous run on the treasury in the coun- try's history--a run that had drained the gold resources to al- most nothing.
 The gold reserves dropped lower and lower. Late in January, 1894, there was only a weeks supply left.
 Morgan sent August Belmont to Washington with a plan to sell bonds abroad to replenish the gold reserves. Cleveland turned it down

 "Capone came up to me and said. Listen Reverend, why don't you and me get together? If you let up on me in Cicero, I'll get out of Stickney'."
 The minister said he refused 70 bargain with Capone.
 Chester Bragg, insurance sales man, and David Morgan, machin- ist, also members of the raiding party, testified they were both slugged by touts.
 Bragg testified that a "big, pow erful man" pushed past him into the gambling hall, shouting: "I'm the owner of this joint
 Then I tumbled to the fact he was Capone," said the insurance man.
 How was Capone dressed ?" ask ed Assistant Prosecutor Dwight F. Green.
 "He had on the upper part of a pajama suit, without any coat or shirt and he hadn't shaved"
 Bragg described the place as a complete gambling establishment, with roulette wheels, dice tables, chuck-a-luck cages, Faro layouts and poker tables.

Washington, October - (UP) One lively hour of President conference this week will goetao Hoover's White House financial conference this week will go down in the memory of those particfpat- ing as the "second battle of the moratorium"
 There really wasn't any first battle because last June MT Hoover shot his one-year German mora torium proposal so suddenly that even Senator Borah didn't have time to cock his gun. He had to throw up his hands along with almost every one else in a quick surrender.
 But MT Hoover should have known he couldn't catch the ene- my of fguard a second time. There were several in congress who knew a thing or two. They have been keeping their eyes on MT Hoover. They had been hearing rumors for several days.
 They scented some sort of al plot" by international bankers, and felt that the bankers had con vinced Mir Hoover of the merits of this banking program.
 So these senators and congress- men went to the White House con- ference ready for an emergency. It soon came. MT Hoover read off his banking proposals and there were general mods of approval.
 Now gentlemen" he continued in substance, i've come to the question of intergovernment obli- gations."
 twill you please read that again. MT President?" Senator Borah asked ominously after the mora Aha. They were right. The whole business was out. That looks as if 1t implied our approval to anything you agree to with Premier Laval" Borah said.
 Tt does imply that" replied MT Hoover. looking more uncomfort- able every instant.
 "I'm against debt cancellation" blurted out Representative John Garner, house minority leader. Half a dozen others joined in. Un- dersecretary of Treasury Mills and Governor Meyer of the Federal Re- serve Board came to the presi- dents aid. But they were over- powered.
 Lets rewrite that statement" suggested some one. Then with pencils they labored over the text for nearly an hour. It couldn't be made to satisfy the objections. It was nearly midnight. The cigar smoke was choking everybody. Finally MT Hoover decided 1t was hopeles sand he said he would ask for no commitment. He would content himself with announcing that he would discuss the debt matter with Previer Laval. Con- gress could act as it saw fit after wards.
 Stretcher bearers retired in hu- initiation. They had expected to carry out several senators. It was just their luck that the battle end ed in a draw.
