GUILTY PLEA REJECTED, WIDOW MAY BE FREED Becond Marriage Illegal if Story Is True, Court Holds in War Insurance Case. By the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va., July 13.—Although she appeared in court to plead guilty, Federal Judge D. Lawrence Groner yesterday refused to accept the plea of Mrs. Muriel Dover, recently indicted in Philadelphia on a charge of ille- gally obtaining war veteran insurance funds from the Government. Mrs. Dover, who was brought here from Philadelphia Friday, appeared before Judge Groner to enter a plea of guilty, but the court asked first to hear her story and after hearing it declined_to accept the plea. Mrs. Dover said she first married to a Navy man here, who was drown- ed in the line of duty. She later mar- ried a man named Sudsburg of Hampton, who insisted, she said, that she continue to draw the war risk in- surance payments. Finally she re- fused to accept any more of the pay- ments, she said; a quarrel resulted, during which she said her husband “Mm-m-m-m! O Boy, It’s Good!” —that's PALMER’S WHEN temperature climbs like a steeple- jack, that’s the time for refreshing drink of carbonated happy way of going straight to that thirsty spot.
