This person, though at the time amarried man, .) , went through a mock marriage ceremony with Miss Dudley, who was thus deceived into believing she was his lawful wife. The intimacy resulted in the birth of two children, both of whom, however, died in infancy. She seems to have been greatly distressed by their lose, and to have developed thereafter very strong suicidal tendencies.
