arose another obstacle which had a
tendency to retard the marriage cere
mony for a day at least. And this
was the girl's age, which from her
own statement was a trifle over 17
years. Although quite perplexing
this question was quickly solved by
Singleton, who lilt upon the idea of
telegraphing to the wold-be brlde'fc
mother for legal consent. "I'll pay
for this telegram," remarked Sin
gleton, "for I am sure her mother
will consent. We must make this
couple happy, and marrtage Is the
one solution."
Believing taht Singleton would
make good County Judge Wonaeotr
and District Attorney Brown held
a brief conversation, at the conclus
ion of which the actress was again
turned over to Singleton pending
word from the girl's mother, who
lives in Los Angeles.
In the event the mother gives her
consent as expected, the marriage
will probably occur either tonight or
tomorrow. County Judge Wonacott
has promised to tie the knot free of

Drake, un ai;ter, was anc-svd at
Med ford on a charge preferred by a
Myrtle C'rM?k resident who claimed
that he (Drake) was living with a
young actress named Cora (irlfflth,
under the title of man and wife. Fol

Drake was arrested at Medford.
