BOY WEDS SISTER AFTER ELOPEMENT Ste Had Ben Adopel and Brought Up by Another Family New York, Nov, 14~A modern love drama paralleled only iIn litera- ture was revealed yesterday by the confession of John H. Cregler, sev- enteen, of Binghamton, N, Y., that a week ago he married his sister, Ellza- beth M, Hafner, adopted daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Adam J. Hafner, 914 Bummit avenue, Bronx, and lived with her three days. The boy admitted cach knew their relationship and could say only that they were infatu- ated with each other, Cregler told his story at 1 Lawton avenue, Binghamton, where he has lived since'he was a little boy with Mrs. Margaret Peeple, whom he calls aunt, but who never legally adopted him'and who is not related to him, She was present when a correspon- Mueller’s Spaghetti has a nutty wheat flavor that is differ- ent— more tempt- ing—moredglicious than any spaghetti you ever tasted. Be,_Sure the Meadow dent confronted the boy with proof of his marriage. Humane Officer Sam- uel J, Koerbel of Binghamton, before whom the lad will be brought, to- day, also heard his confession, Reared In Different Homes, The bridegroom, a bright, hand- some lad, and his sister are the chil- dren of Edward B, Crelger, sixty-two o farmer of North White Lake, Beth- el, N, Y, wherg they weré born. Thein mother dled when Ellzabeth was slx and John four. Elizabeth was adopted on April 16, 1909, by Mr, and Mrs, Hatner,"not quite a year aftér her mother's death, Mr, Haf- ner and Mr, Cregler are cousins, Soon. after Ellzabeth’s adoption, Mrs, Depew' Peeple, mother of Mra, Margaret Peeple, visited North White Lake and fancying the little boy, John Cregier, obtained the con- sent of his father to take Mim as her son, John only saw Ellzabeth three times between her adoption and their elopement, and does not re- member her as a little girl. Their first meeting, he recalls, was when he was twelve years old and he says that at this time they were told they were brother and sister. He sald he could not.remember feeling any particular affection for her at this time. Elopement Planned. Last summer, however, he saw her again and the mutual infatuation commenced. Late in October with the excuse of a visit to a half-sister living in New Jersey, he came to New York and met Elizabeth again. The beautiful girl almost twenty, appealed to him more strongly than ever and her response seems to have been the same, An elopement was carefully plan- ned and on Nov, 4, they went to Bing- hamton, where John knew he would find his home vacant, as Mrs, Peeple was away on a visit to relatives. AJ week ago yesterday they went to Binghamton marriage license bureau to obtain a marriage license. Here Elizabeth Hafner seems to have faintly, realized for the first time what she was doing, for her application = contains several false statements. First of all she took care to spell her name Hefner. She sald she was born in this city and gave the names of her parents as Joseph and Cora (Cook) Hefner.

Mrs. Hafner's name is Cora I'. Haf- ner! The girl said she lived at 1 Lawton avenue, Binghamton. John misstated only his age, which he gave as twenty-two. He is a shipping clerk. They obtalned the license and on the following day, a week ago toda went to Conklin, a suburb of Bing- hamton, and were married by Justice of the Peace E. R. Evans. Again they returned to 1 Lawton ave- nue and remained there until Friday. Then it was that Mrs. Peeple re- turned home with a half-sister of John's and Elizabeth’s and found the pair, Elizabeth returned hurriedly to this city. The three others decided to try to keep the event a secret, and according to Mrs. Peeple she planned to have the marriage quietly annulled. Whether the Binghamton authori- ties will prosecute the young bride- groom is undetermined. Humane Ofticer Koerbel sald last night he did not desire to punish the youth. Meanwhile Mr. and Mrs. Hafner were overwhelmed by the return of Elizabeth and her explanation of her absence. Mr, Hafner is a wealthy realty operator and the couple, child- less when they adopted the girl, had lavished the love of parents upon her. ‘When seen by a reporter last night, Mr. Hafner was almost too overcome to speak coherently, Mrs. Hafner, he sald, had been made i1l by the occur- rence and was confined to bed. He could. not give any reason for Eliza- beth's action and only repeated again and again that she had had the best care. Edward B. Cregier, father of the elopers was informed last night by telephone of what had taken place. He said he had scarcely seen Eliza- beth since her adoption and had not seen John for a year. According to the boy, however, it is three or four years since he saw his father. Aside trom this, Mr. Cregier had nothing to say. FATTY ARBUGKLE IS ENDED AS STAR Film Co.

For 79 years this reputation has been constantly maintain: Wherever good candy is sold Arbuckle'’s film career {s at an end, at least so far as Paramount Pictures corporation is concerned. This com- pany, which is the releasing branch of Famous Players-Lasky, has been the distributor of Arbuckle pictures for the last few years since he be- came a star under the management of Joseph M. Schenck. It was learned at the New "York headquarters of Famous Players-Las- Ky, 485 Fifth Ave, yvesterday that Par- amount has definRtely decided to scrap Arbuckle's last pictures, unreleased at the time of his trial in connection with the death of Virginia Rappe, and would make no further effort to exploit these pictures, but definitely discard themr as so much deadwood. The plctures concerned are “Gaso- line Gus,” “Freight Prepaid” and “Leap Year.” They were held in abey- ance during Arbuckle's trial. When he was discharged Adolph Zukor an- nounced in the middle of April that the pictures would be put ‘on ‘the market, because he had confidence the American public would uphold the judgment of thg court which exoner- ated Arbuckle. The first plcture, in fact, had actually been booked at a leading Broadway house for the next week. Due to the interposition of Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of Amer- ica, the pictures were withdrawn at the last moment. It was then be- lleved in the trade that the distribu- tors would merely wait until public opinion had evidently swung around in the rotund comedian's ‘favor once more. Now, however, the pictures have been definitely retired. Paramount is thus giving up a rev- enue that might have amounted to $2,000,000 a year, if Arbuckle had re- turned to his earlier popularity. It is glving up $500,000 in actual cash, as this amount is said to have been in- volved in the cost of making the pic- tures. Whether Schenck, Arbuckle's manager, would take over the pie- tures for distribution through other channels at a possible later date was not known. as healthy as she is pretty. port and self-defense.
