Show Offers Marriage, Claim. "After he was gone and my partner, Rattini, and I were operating the cafe, a boarder at the restaurant, John Caruso, who owed me $30 for food, pressed me to marry him. Because he had owed me money for so long and seemed to be al-ways al-ways unemployed. I chided him and added that even if I so desired I could not marry him, as I had not obtained a divorce. "That was after the first of August. He was to pay me the money he owed on hie pay day, August 12. On August 13 he came to the restaurant and gave me $10. I told him that he must pay the rest of the money and he said he was keeping it to defray "the wedding expenses. "I plainly told him that marriage was out of the question and demanded the remainder re-mainder of the money. Pie paid the account, ac-count, with the exception of two or three dollars. Then he gave me his photograph and suggested I hang it near the door, so all patrons of the cafe could see it. I put it in a book. |
