Bigamy and Riches
Hold Spotlight in
Giddy Marital Trial
Ex-HusbGndS Aid
Each Other in
PincheS

NEW YORK, Dec. 3 UN.S0-A
mad whirl Of bigamists, million
dollar estates and ex-husbands
helping each other over the legal
jumps slowed down around the
calm, comely Mrs. Marion Allgeyer
in Supreme Court today as the
case Of Allgeyer VS.. Spaulding
sped dizzily to a decision.
Ready to rest its case, the
plaintiffs side read into the rec
ord some so letters written by
Howard Spaulding to the woman
he married while already wed, at
a time when he was represented
as worrying that she would ex-
pose him to his real wife.
PROMISED MILLION
Allegedly warm, sympathetic
letters, they were introduced to
support Mrs. Allgeyer's contention
that Spaulding's agreement, on
which he reneged, to give her one
million dollars from his parents
estate was entirely voluntary.
Introduction Of the letters fol-
lowed a day Of surprises featuring
the Identification of Sanford
Clarke" Mrs. Allgeyer's first huS-
band, as Lawrence Sanford
Criticized, New York banker, who
was already married when he wed
Mrs. Allgeyer-then Marion Gus
tine-in 1925, while on a "busi-
ness trip" to Chicago.
Criticized testified that under the
name Of Clarke" he married the
present Mrs. Allgeyer but under
his own name he helped her to
get a divorce by testifying that
Clarke" was cruel to his wife!
MARITAL TANGLE
Before the day was over the
court session sounded like a con.
ference Of double takers as it was
brought out that Criticized knew
and had warned Spaulding Of Mrs
Allgeyer, that Spaulding who mar
ried her under a false name knows
her present husband under his
right name, and that his "reap
wife knew Mrs. Allgeyer but didn't
know that they had been married
Contributing to the merry mess
of material facts and fancies wa
Mrs. Allgeyer's first indignant
denial that she had been married
to anyone before she wed Spauld
ing, and the quick return oi
memory when Criticized was pre-
sented in court.
Started in secrecy because
neither Mrs. Allgeyer's present
husband, a Louisiana physician
nor Spaulding'S wife were to know
Of it, the case heads toward its
close as a three ring circus featur
ing private lives of three families
involing wives, husbands an6
children who knew nothing of it.

COP GIVEN S.
OF FISHING fine

Sergt. Edward K. Shelton, of the
Harbor precinct. was SIS richer to-
day as the result of fine Of $40
imposed against Langhorne S.
Rorer, 70-year-old fisherman found
guilty in Police Court yesterday OF
fishing illegally in the Eastern
Branch Of the Potomac River on
November 10.
Shelton's good fortune is the re-
suit of a peculiar provision Of the
District code which grants to po-
lice officers or other persons OBJ
tanning convictions for illegal fish
ing one-half of the fine imposed
and paid by the party found
guilty.
Judge Edward M. Curran found
Rorer and two colored youths,
James R. Fleet, %, and James Liv-
ingston, %, guilty of the offense
of setting gill nets in Kingman's
Lake in the Eastern Branch. The
colored youths pleaded guilty to
the charge. but Fleet testified they
were working with Rorer on a per.
centage basis and that the nets
were Rorer'S. Rorer pleaded not
guilty, insisting that the nets were
taken from his shack on Benning
Flats without his authority.
Judge Curran found all three
guilty, but ordered $40 fines
against Fleet and Livingston Sus-
pended. Rorer had to pay.

COUNCIL OF AFL
MEETS TO DRAFT
OWN WAGE BILL
Session Interrupts Clio
"PeaCe" Conference
By EDWARD b. LOCKETT

ny EDWA6D b. LOCAEIT
u.N.s). Called into special ses-
sion by President William Green,
the American Federation Of La
boris executive council today con-
vened to draft proposed legislation
for wages and hours regulation.
AS the 16 vice presidents sat
down at the long, T-shaped table
in the council room, they refused
to speculate on the details of any
bill which would eventually come
out of their two-day meeting. How
ever, Green and several others at
the outset pointed out that the
federation was on record against
the pending bill before the House,
mainly because Of its provision
giving elastic powers of regulation
to a Federal board.
"MIDDLE OF ROAD"
Private conferences between the
Federation chiefs have made it
plain that in all probability what
ever bill is drafted will be broad,
fix a flat limitation on maximum
hours by law, and probably fix a
middle Of the road" minimum
wage.
A number Of union heads have
privately expressed the fear that
any minimum wage provision set
ting a figure extremely high might
Go injury to the cause of union
organization.
At the same time there were
fears, too, that a minimum wage
figure might be accepted by en-
rloyers as a possible maximum,
also.
WAGES CHEF CONCERN
For these and other reasons and
differences, the council was ex-
pected to devote most of its time
to working out the wage pro-
visions, with the maximum hour
figure a comparatively easier
problem.
Because Of today's council meet
ing, the conferences between
Green and John L. Lewis Of the
CIO, looking to a possible peace
and reunion Of the two warning
factions of organized labor, were
interrupted until tonight at
o'clock.
