I'VE talked a great deal
about the several alternative
decisions she had on her mind.
She freely and voluntarily and
in the presence of several wit
neSSes signed the application
for a marriage license and blood
test and took the blood test.
While awaiting the results
of the blood test, I was arrested
with no charges against mel
by the Mason City police who
said they had received calls
from Col. Gerard and from
jeans mother who had missed
her from home. ! was held for
six hours by the police without
opportunity to make or receive
calls.
Jean returned to Minneapo-
lis. OF course, her marriage is
entirely her prerogative. / have
expected for some time that
she would go through with the
marriage ceremony to Col.
Gerard. arranged by her mother
for the evening of June 20, and
l wish her the very best Of luck.
"A Wonderful Girl"
I'VE have come to under
stand each other pretty well
during the last eight months
despite her mothers prohibi-
ton against her seeing me and
l hope we will always continue
10 be good friends. She is q
wonderful girl"
When Miss Shevlin's state
ment to police, as reported by
Mason City police, was read to
Mr.. Marvin by The Star he was
even more vehement in his
denials.
He said Miss Shevlin was un-
der no pressure from him but
that "the pressure was on her
to do what she was supposed
to do"
II wasn't trying to force her
in any way" he said. "She has
had difficulty in making up her
mind"
He said he had never been
married. His engagement to
another girl was announced in
1854 but he said that marriage
did not occur.
