THE SUNDAY OREGONIAXV PORTLAND, JtTLY 30, 1005. L Seattle Woman Saves Hus band From Penitentiary. HE MUST MARRY AT ONCE Bride of 14 Days Finds There Is An other Claimant on Robert E. J. Collins, and So She Sac- rlflces Herself. SEATTLE. July 29. (Special.) To save her husband of two weeks from being compelled to serve a penitentiary term for seducing- 18-year-old Lottie Conrad, Mar garet L. Collins, nee Hopmann, this morning secured a divorce from .Robert JS. J. Collins so as to permit him to anarry the woman for whose ruination he Is now In jail. To help out the 14-day bride In her effort to cave Collins from a felon's fate, the Prosecuting Attorney's office will act In collusion with the pris oner In a violation of tho court's de cree, made this morning, that neither party to the divorce can contract a mar riage within six months. Tho Prosecuting Attorney's offlco Is willing that Collins, In charge of a dep uty Sheriff, should be taken out of the state and be allowed to marry tho girl, who. It Is charged, is In a delicate con dition. Lottie Conrad is willing to marry the cast-off husband of Margaret L. Collins, and the man. now in a cell In the county Jail. Is willing to marry her. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John F. Miller, who has charge of the case. Is racking his brain this afternoon for some cer tain method by which Collins can be made to validate tho terms of the di vorce decree. All that prevented Collins being sent forth to a -second marriage this morning was the fear that when he left the confines of the state he might laugh at the officers of the law and re fuse to marry the Conrad girl. He cannot furnish bonds, and the only solution that now remains la for a deputy Sheriff to escort him. If he refuses to marry then, he 'can be . extradited for seduction; the deputy Sheriff keeping watch of him in the meantime. July 15 Judge Griffin married Margaret I Hopmann to Robert E. J. Collins. Ten days after the wedding Lottie Con rad appeared before Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Miller and asked for a war rant for Collins on the ground of se duction. It was issued, and he was taken from his newly wedded bride and placed In the county Jail. Collins' wife declares that despite his faults she loves him, and that she con sented to a divorce only to save him from Incarceration In the .penitentiary. The woman whom he will marry to es cape imprisonment admits that she has no love or respect for him, but simply wishes to give the child yet unborn the right to the name of Collins. The man that will escape a, convict's garb through the divorce and the second marriage does not conceal tho fact that there is no love between him and the Conrad girl. The divorce this morning was a bit ter experience for the bride of two weeks. She went through It only to save Col lins. Tho divorce was obtained before Judge Gilliam upon the ground of fraud. The wife testified to the truthfulness of the allegation In the complaint that Col lins had kept from her the fact of his relationship with Lottie Conrad. His rea son for withholding this fact was to de ceive her and to induce her to marry him. The court granted the divorce on this ground. The granting of the divorce leaves Col lins In a position to marry Lottie Con rad by violating the nrovislon of the di vorce decree that Inhibits him from mar rying for six months. Once married to Lottie Conrad, he cannot be prosecuted for the crime of seducing her. The mar riage will take place today or tomorrow if a satisfactory way to force Collins Into the marriage after he leaves the state can be found. The strange attitude taken by the Pros ecuting Attorney's office In the matter lias caused much comment. At this time the courts of the state are attempting to find a way to enforce the provision in all divorce decrees that no second marriage shall take place for six months after tho decree Is filed. Judge Bell. when on the bench, cited a man that married In Portland within six months after ho was separated from a former wife before him for contempt of court- Judge Polndexter. of Spokane, has de clared that such marriage, even when contracted outside the state. Is null and void. In the face of the attempt being made by the Judiciary to enforce the law In this regard, the aid lent by tho Prose cuting Attorney's office In this Instance In setting aside the provision of the de cree Is regarded as little short of re markable.
