To her friends in Whitestone, L. I., to-day Maggle Familton, the young girl who married one man one day and an- other man the next, told the story of her double marriage, exposing the work- ings of her heart and: the reasons for her act. As both marriages occurred there is every likelihood that the scene of trial will shift from the Long Island village to this city. The young girl returned to her home last night and all her old-time friends were gathered in her house to give her @ welcome and express their sympathy. It was very much like all the world lov- ing a lover to Maggie Familton. Her | homecoming seemed in the nature of a triumph, Judge Healy, of Flushing, after de- clding that the case was not in his jurisdiction, paroled the girl in the cus-| tody of her father on $500 bail. Dis- trict-Attorney Griggs will determine whether he has any right in the prem- {ses to hold the girl, and If not ho will ‘transfer the case to the torpey’s office of the Borough of Man- hattan, ‘The Girl's Own Story, This is Maggie Familton's own story: | “I have known Frederick Kirkman a, Hong time.

However, she was wholesome and amusing and happily successful in her handling of the part. Katherine Grey started In as a circus girl with a broken collarbone and wound up as the long-lost granddaughter ofa with a dowry. She furnished use for the plot, a girl loved by friends whc became déadly rivals and went through several acts simply aching to wipe each other off the centre of the stage.

Continuing her story Maggle sald: “Kirkman then insisted upon our mar- riage. On Sunday, Oct. 12, he lay in walt for me at the Long Island station with a revolver, He snowed me the pistol and said that 1 must marry him. That very day I had read, of 1a, man shooting a girl because she did not marry him at his bidding.

Crehan died of heart disease at Miss Reohan’s home, No. 164 West Ninety- third street. The ws was kept from her for fear the shock would upset her and cause her to give up the tour that had been planned for her this season. Crehan was buried yesterday and it is the intention of the family and Miss Rehan's managers to keep the news from her as long as. possible. The death of her mother three y ago was a savere shock to the actress, and the death of her brother, Arthur, following, aggravated the illness from which she was suffering. Plans were made some months ago for a tour in which Miss Rehan would star jointly with Otis Skinner in “The Taming of the 6hrew."’ The tour opened Monday night at Atlantic City. When William Crehan died it was feared that if tne news were broken to Misa Renan she would not play, and might give up her stage career en- tirely. hie would have meant the dis- banding of the company and the throw. ing of Nifty persons out of engagemen It is thought that if the news can 86" ST. & 322-AVE.
