Mrs. Colts Marriage
Plans Are INTERRUPTED

The marriage plans of Mrs. Julie
Brown Colt, Washington girl who
married and divorced one of the
heirs to the firearms fortune, were
in a state of considerable confusion
today, to say the least
Mrs. Colt, who is 81 and the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Philip
Marshal Brown, 3061 Whitehaven
street NV, appeared yesterday at
the marriage license bureau in Los
Angeles with her fiance. John DEM
ing Campbell, %, stepson of a
Campbell's soup heir.
They announced their intention
OF taking out a license and were
filling in the blank when news
paper reporters and photographers
sWooped down. Then a friend, the
Marquise Elise della Felisa, snatched
the blank from their hands.
This can't go on" she exclaimed
glaring at the newspapermen. We
don't like the publicity. We must
wait for Mrs. Colts mother to ar
rive next week"
With that, everyone departed.
1t was at the Marquise's apart
ment last week that Mrs. Colt, whose
former husband is Samuel Colt, jr.,
and Mr. Campbell announced their
engagement. They said at the time
that the wedding would be per-
formed at the Brown home in
Washington on July a.
No one answered the phone at
the Brown home here today and
the Associated Press reported from
Los Angeles that efforts to ascertain
the marriage plans there were
futile.

debate staged yesterday between
the defendant and Policeman J. S.

the wording of a traffic sign al
legedly violated by Mr. Moseley.
The defendant was charged with
violating a 7-to-9:30 am. parking
regulation in the 1000 block of
Rhode Island avenue NE. In court
yesterday Mr.. Moseley declared that
signs in the block read 8 to $50
instead of to $50 am.
After Policeman Davis disputed
that statement, Judge Newman told
the two men to take another look
at the sign and return to court to-
day. They did. And the officer was
right.
