STORMY LOVE ENDS IN BLISS

Miss Wylie Becomes Wedded to Charles Alber

HE WAS THE DEFENDANT

In Her Breach of Promise Suit a Few Weeks Ago and Which He Settled for $75

Charles C. Alber, who has recently gained considerable notoriety through the fact that within the space of a few weeks suits were begun against him by two Ann Arbor women for breach of promise of marriage, hied himself away Thursday to Detroit and took out a license to marry one of the women who brought him into court.

The woman is Miss Elizabeth Wylie, formerly Mrs. John Mulholland, who lives on Broadway. Some weeks ago, it will be remembered, Miss Wylie began suit against Alber, alleging that he had deceived her and refused to marry her. When the case came up for trial Miss Wylie created quite a demonstration in the court room by copiously weeping and otherwise giving evidence of her lacerated feelings. It was only after much effort on the part of her attorney, Martin J. Cavanaugh, that she was quieted. She then made a settlement of the case by accepting $75 from the defendant, and the costs in the case.

After the settlement and before the parties to the suit left the court room, Miss Wylie declared that she intended to bring Alber to time in some other way than by a mere pecuniary settlement of the charge that she made against him. That she has kept her word is seemingly evident from the fact that she has "done gone" and become the wife of the defendant in her recent suit.

Mrs. Elizabeth Whitney, of 613 S. Fifth avenue, the other woman who began suit against Alber on the charge of deceiving her, but later dropped the case, said on hearing of Alber's marriage to Miss Wylie.

"I'm mighty glad of it. Now I will get rid of him. He has plagued the life out of me by continually frequenting my house. I have a parlor lounge at my house and some other few things that Alber gave me, if he will send a wagon for them I will be glad to give them to him for a wedding present."
