Secured it Last March in Denver and has Resumed Her Maiden Nune, Mary Baker. In the First division of the district eourt of the city and county of Den- ver state of Colorado, on March 3, 1911, before Hon. Hubert L. Shattuck, judge of the Second judicial district of that siate, Mary Baker Moulton se- cured a decree of divorce from John Philip Moulton, and she was also al- lowed to resume her maiden name, Mary Baker. Miss Baker is well known here and in Stonington, having lived here pre- vious to and during part of her mar- ried life and at Stonington for a time following her marriage. That she has secured a divorce from “Prof.” Moulton will intarest by her many friends. The one time husband is now serving a five vears' sentence in the Wisconsin state | prison for passing worthless checks. "heir marriage took place here Jan- uary 31, 1908, .and came as a great surprise to the townspeople ,inasmuch as Miss Baker at that time had fallen heir to a considerable sum from a N Haven relative, amounting to about $30,000. The husband was known about town as “Prof.” Moulton from the fact that he possessed some sleight of hand ability and came into the limelight one night at the Audi- torium when he endeavored to play a trick on the magician playing there a the time, and expose his game. Moulton was employed as a, groce clerk here and in that capacity deli ered groceries fo© Miss Baker at her home in Broadway talker, good looking and had attrac- tive ways which won the good graces of his customer. and they were mar- ried. They had a short and stormy be learned with | He was a smooth | married life. Moulton claimed to be versed quite deeply in law and had many peculiar ideas along that line, and he was involved not a little as the defendant in criminal proceedings here and served time in the local jail. His last escapade in Kenosha, Wis, as previously told about ten days ago, landed him in state prison. Some time after their marriage Mrs. Moulton left her husband because of his actions and later went to live with him. Finally they came to the parting of the ways and separated. Moulton tried in many ways to get possession of his wife’s money and tried to have checks on her account honored, with- out result. After having several law- suits over a boat which he purchased and used on the river quite a little, he went to New Haven and claimed to be studying law at the university. He was arrested there for passing worth- less checks, but s allowed to settle his cases by paying costs. Claiming his heme as Stonington at that time, he was soon in trouble here, securing $200 from G. W. Carroll,.on the rep- resentation that he would turn over a certain amouvnt of stocks to him which Mrs. Moulton had. He did five months in jail for that after being hrought back from Boston, s jail term compléted his jiving | hereatouts, and he had not been heard bout until his racent western esca- pade. This romantic courtship and mar- | riage and the afterlife brought them nto wide notoriety here, which was | revived by tine announcement that he had been committed to prison, and again now, by the announcement of her | divorce ffom him last March, PROBABLE THAT BONOFF WILL PLEAD GUILTY. Case Set for Tuesday in the Criminal Court May Not Be Tried. It is very probable that the case of the state vs. Dr. A. Bonoff, the man with many names, charged with biga- my. may not be tried here today, which is the day set for the trial. Counsel for the accused, Judge J. H. Barnes, has had a conference with the state attorney regarding the case and it is ‘rdbfl‘”r‘ that the accused will enter a plea of guilty when presented in court today for the disposition of his case. His counsel says that the case will be éisposed of today without trial and this will end the business of the ses- sicn. SENATOR AND MRS. PARK ABROAD Had Fine Trip Across on Their Euro- pean Visit. Letters have been received from Sen- ator Angus Park of Hanover which were mailed on board the Olympic just before landing at Plymouth Sept. 15th, and he tells of the pleasant voyage that they have had on the mammoth palace of the sea. The passage over was fine and he tells of the many exer- cises and sports that are daily had by the passengers on board. Mr. Park's favorite sport is a horse- tack ride every morning and a five- mile walk every day and though saye he has lost five pounds he never feit better in his life. At times the sea was very rough. but made very little impression on the boat, so trip was enjoyable.
