HIT CLERGYMAN
Former Army Chaplain
Says He Does Not Re-
member Wedding

SALISBURY, Eng, July 81. -
(P)-A 36-year-old Church of Eng
land clergyman was arraigned to-
day on a charge of bigamously
marrying an attractive ex-service-
woman in what he described as "a
iperiod Of my life that 1 cannot &C
count for" as a result of nerve
SCATTERING war experiences.
He was the Rev. Charles H. c.
Lamb, an Raj chaplain at Malta
during the heavy bombing. The
woman was Joan Boddie, %, form
err corporal in the Women's Auxili-
airy Air forces.
Mrs. Lamb, whom the clergy
man married in 1941, was with him
in the courtroom when he pleaded
innocent, was committed for trial
and released on 5000 bail. She told
reporters she was confident Lamb
was telling the truth and said she
would stand by him.
Also in the courtroom was Miss
Boddie, who said she did not know
until three months before her. baby
was born that Lamb was married.
She said they went through a form
of marriage in 1914, after he was
invalided back to England.
While Recuperating
Lamb was quoted by the prose
cution as saying Miss Boddie
came into my life' while he was
w ryJNAran ~ ~ 10 a n RfnInr IN
which she was attached.
"She was as pure and good as an
angel, and she seemed to realize
my secret that I had tried SO hard
to conceal from Others - that
was frightened Of going insane"
a statement attributed to Lamb
said. ITO try to cure myself l used
10 take a walk before going to bed,
but 1 had to give this up because
1 began to imagine that my beloved
friends who were dead were walk
ing by my side, telling me jokes
Lamb said he learned of the Sec
ond marriage ceremony from his
Bishop, who revoked his clergy
mans license and ordered him to
vacate the rectory of St. Johns
Chapel, Isle Of Man, several weeks
ago after hearing from Miss Bod
die.
No Recollection

Of a proposal or Of going through a
marriage CEREMONY" he said, ''but
after meeting Miss Boddie and the
clergyman who performed the
ceremony I accept, on the evil
dence, that I was the man."
Miss Boddie said she and Lamb
lived together at a number of
places in England, Scotland and
Northern Ireland before he return.

prosecution witness testified in the
wife-murder trial of Charlie Phil
lips today that Phillips had told
him he had two wives and Il

note was written by Mrs. Phillips
and declared that she was going te
kill herself.

cred that Phillips already had q
wife and two children.

Yesterday afternoon at Robert

Three young girls, all teen-agers
about 10 Or IA, came to the Sta1
news rooms yesterday afternoon
to report the results of a Girls
Junior league softball game.
They had a small piece Of blue
paper with the lineups written or
it and asked that it be published
in the Star. The reporter told them
to tell him about the game and
he would write the story.
"Well, the score was Al to 80,
in our favor" the girls replied IL
unison. The scribe, amazed at the
score, binked his eyes and asked
who was playing who. The girls
said they were members of the
Nesbitt Courts team and they had
Just defeated the Ninth Street
Sluggers, another girls team.
The reporter started his story
something like this
The Nesbitt Court girls softball
team licked the daylights out OF
a bunch of skirted ball players
calling themselves the Ninth
Street Sluggers, Al to 80, yester-
day afternoon at Robert Strange
park.
Eleanor Mccall, pretty, curly
headed miss, toiled on the mound
for the winners while the back
stopping duties were performed
by a small freckled-faced girl
named Jeanette Smith.
"Wait a minute, I amt no back
stopper, I am the catcher" the
little lass explained.
As the girls looked over ais
shoulder the reporter continued his
story.
Using the best possible baseball
language at his command the
scribe continued to worry the girls
with his expressions of baseball
slang. What you mean, jeanette
Smith hit a four master and what
is. that she tailed eight markers"
the girls asked.
Ruth Zellers crossed pay dirt
three times and contributed a per-
feet day at the platter with four
base knocks. The reported wrote
on as the girls glanced over his
shoulder.
"Wait a minute" the girls said.
"That amt what happened. They
nit home runs, not four master S
and they scored eight runs. Don't
mess the thing up. Just write the
lineups and the score"
Well, here it is like the girls
wanted:
