When the News Is Broken to
Cotton Plant Man He Asks
Memphis Bride to Excuse
Him, but She Replies
With Emphatic “No.”
Memphis, Term., June, 29.—
“When will you marry me?”
asked a man, who said he was
W. F. Horne, a visitor from
Cotton Plant, Ark., as the
auto streaked through the
darkness.
“Tonight,” softly murmured
Mrs. Isabelle Bray, pretty
blonde divorcee, who was at
his side.
it was last ounuay mgni.
An hour or so afterward
Magistrate John M. Maher
united them in wedlock.
They went for a ride, went to
her home and danced for an
hour, and the next morning
Horne went to a local hotel to
get his possessions. His new
wife Was to meet him. There
they would buy the ring.
Mrs. Horne filled the appoint
ment and was horrified when
Horne told her he was already
married and that his wife was
in Cotton Plant. He went
home.
Police Chief Burney today
received this letter from Dep
uty Sheriff H. A. Holder, in
response to an inquiry about
Horne, “I have just inter
viewed Mr. Horne and I know
personally that he is an un
married man, or was until he
visited your town recently.
He says if he married anybody
in Memphis he does not know
it, that the things he did there
were just for fun and were not
to be considered seriously,
that he was simply a ‘jazz ex
cursionist,’ and won’t you
please ask the lady to excuse
him.”
But Mrs. Isabelle Bray
Horne refuses to be excused.
“No, sir,” she said, “he’s
my husband. I married him
legally and I married him in
good faith. I’m willing to
live with him here or go to
Cotton Plant. He may not
have been married before, but
he’s married now.”
She is assistant manager of
the sewing machine depart
ment of B. Lowenstein &
Bros. She was divorced from
her first husband about two
years ago. She has a six-year
old son.
Magistrate Maher said to

seemed to have a drink or two,
but he was not drunk, Maher

knew what he was doing and
he said yes. He was sober
enough to know, all right.”
