BROCKWAY WEDS GIRL WHO OUTWITTED HIM

Brings to Close Sensational Case — Girl Has Support of Many . Prominent People. Howard Brockway, prosecutor of White and Carroll counties, who was accused by Miss Mae Shigley, of Lafayette, as being the father of the two weeks old baby, was married to Miss Shigley at the home of Judge Joseph M. Rabb, at Logansport, Sunday. Present at the ceremony were the mothers of Brockway and his bride. The wedding was brought about by the overtures made to Brockway by Judge Rabb, who took Miss Shigley to his home after the development of last week, and while during her stay at his home brought all his persuasive powers to bear upon Brockway. With the marriage of the couple one of the most sensational of the cases of its kind in the history of Carroll county was brought to an end. Brockway at first denied being the father of the child and prepared to fight the case, but later decided that the only way out of the predicament was to marry the girl. The novel means employed by Miss Shigley to force the responsibility for the child on Brockway won the hearty commendation of the people and may serve as an example for cases of its kind in the future.
