GIRL DUPED
STOLE FOR BELGIAN “HUSBAND.” LONDON, Nov. 28. Frances Evelyn Gwendoline Waring, aged 20, who had been neurotic since childhood, and had become tired of living with her parents in a quiet seaside town, came to London and became infatuated with a Belgian named Waring. He obtained a so-called “marriage license,” and made passionate love to the girl in a taxi-cab on the way to a supposed registrar’s office, where a woman accomplice witnessed his bogus marriage with the girl. The couple stayed at an hotel, and at his instigation the girl obtained £4O worth of goods on credit, which ho pawned and compelled her to steal more. The police arrested the girl, but the man disappeared. The magistrate bound her over on the theft charge, remarking that the man was the accomplice of a couple of criminal sharks.
