Thrills of I Judy’s Secret Wedding Revealed in First ‘lnside Story ’

ANNE HAS NO ENGAGEMENT RING; ACE PICKS BRIDE BANQUET

BY JULIA BLAN'SHARD NF.A Service Writer NEW YORK, June 21.—This is the “inside” story of the wedding of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Anne Morrow. It is the story of how a secret was kept, with virtually the entire world endeavoring to pry in upon that secret. And it now is possible for The Indianapolis Times, through the Newspaper Enterprise Association, to describe in detail for the first time the scenes attendant upon the marriage of the world's most famous flier and the daughter of the American ambassador to Mexico The ceremony uniting Lindbergh and Miss Morrow was simplicity itself. But behind the scenes were incidents as full of thrills and romance as might be desired by any young woman of Miss Morrow’s age. With the entire world clamoring for news of the wedding date, with newspaper reporters and photographers standing guard day and night, with suspicions that even the family telephone line was tapped and that the house servants were being offered bribes, there was an unprecedented battle of wits. a a a T IKE the battle campaign of a great general, the wedding plans of the famous pair were perfectly camouflaged and executed with the simplicity of swift genius. Not a single guest Invited to the Morrow home at Englewood, N. J„ on the afternoon of May 27, was aware that the wedding was to take place then. No house guest knew it until Anne appeared in their midst in her wedding gown. None of the servants knew of it. Six people were in on the secret: Ambassador and Mrs. Morrow, Elizabeth. Dr. Brown, the minister; Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, and Mary Smith, the dressmaker who made Anne’s wedding gown and helped her dress. The whole army of newspapermen, photographers, curious townsmen and tourists were thrown off the scent by the large reception Sunday in honor of Col. Lindbergh’s mother and visiting relatives. It was deliberately planned to conceal the main event. This reception proved a perfect ruse. Guests motored out from New York Sunday afternoon. Some did not depart when the event was over. The house was filled with great bowls of Anne’s favorite garden flowers.

ONE of the guests attending the reception quite openly carried in a huge box that contained the wedding cake. This neighbor, whose name like the Morrow’s begins with an “M,” had the exciting honor of selecting Anne's wedding cake as if for her own daughter. Most ingenious of all the reception plans was one of Anne's. For the reception she donned a charming little French ensemble of cross-bar printed blue and white crepe, a sweet little frock with pleated knee flounce and organdy collar and a three-quarters coat of matching crepe. It was her going-away costume. Monday morning. Anne again put on the same ensemble for an auto ride with Lindy. After lunch she and Lindy took a second ride, a short spin, Anne still in the same costume. They emerged two hours later—man and wife—and found that they had so successfully disarmed photographers and reporters that it looked to them like just another spin. Os course, no one noticed Mrs. Charles Augustus Lindbergh’s wedding ring! And she wore it—a plain little gold band. Moreover it was the only ring she had. Lindy did not give Anne an engagement ring. a a a AMBASSADOR and Mrs. Morrow’ phoned several friends and relatives on Monday morning. They were casual calls, some about business conferences, other asking folks over to play bridge at 3:15, that afternoon, or “Come to lunch if you want to.” They all w r ere messages in code, arranged in advance, because the Morrows suspected that their telephone line had been tapped. But even though these calls brought wedding guests, none of these had any idea when the ceremony actually would be performed. At three o'clock, about twentysix guests were grouped about downstairs, some getting partners for bridge, others talking. Mary Smith, local dressmaker who had made many of Anne's clothes and who had the honor of fashioning Anne’s wedding dress, was shut in one of the little rooms off the living room, supposedly giving Anne a final fitting. She really was dressing Anne for her wedding! No one was “dressed up” for the wedding. Most of the women had on the same afternoon frocks that they wore at the reception, soft, printed, summery chiffons. a xx n AT about 3:15, Mrs. Morrow moved quietly from group to group and said to each in turn: “Just come in now, will you please, and stand in a little group in the living room. When Dr. Brown stands up, draw’ close.” Almost tip-toeing, they reached lihe center of the living room. Simultaneously a door from a side room opened. Without a wedding march. Anne came in on the arm of her father. She w-ore a semi-fitted informal little white chiffon wedding gown, with full, floating skirt and irregular hemline. Her flushed young face was framed in a sweet little

DRY LAW DEATHS .'TO BE EXPECTED’

But Wright Law Author Regrets Slayings by Officers. Slayings by prohibition agents constitute “something we must expect, but, of course, be sorry for,” Frank Wright, author of Indiana’s “bone dry” law, told the United Press today. Wright, in Commenting on recent killings, explained they were regretted by all dry law workers and added that they must be expected “as long as we have prohibition laws.” "I believe that most of those slayings were accidental. However, those agents are trained and might have had some reason for firing. At any rate, the dry agent has a thankless position. If he doesn’t arrest suspicious persons he is reprimanded; if he kills them he is brought to trial,’’ Wright said. “Although there will be several persons killed each year, I don’t believe the number would total those killed in various accidents if prohibition was not in effect.” Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley, president of the Indiana Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, said she believed each of the slayings “were enlarged upon by wet metropolitan newspapers. It is not the small papers that have been trying to show the dry agents to be to blame, but some of the larger ones have.” “In some cases I suppose innocent persons ar? killed and we deeply regret that. Still, in other cases, the agents might have been justified and still they are blamed by some of our wet papers.”

Anne carried an armful of larkspur that Lindy had picked himself that morning. There was no music at all save Anne's lovely low voice as she said, “I do. Lindy ’ooked down at her tenderly and slipped the plain little gold band on her wedding ring finger. Anne and L ndv’s wedding guests had lemonade that Mrs. Morrow and Elizabeth had made themselves, and cake that Lindy and Anne cut. The family served. While they ate and drank the bride and groom slipped away without any farewells. Guests were as ignorant as the general public of the destination of the Lindbergh's honeymoon trip.

Man Without Country Will Resume Fight Former Gary Attorney to Ask Rehearing on Citizenship. By Times Special GARY, Ind., June 21—“A man without a country” today is the brand upon Paul P. Glaser, who has been called red, communist, socialist, bolshevik and anarchist. Glaser, who fled from Russia to escape tyranny while Czar Nicholas II was on the throne, has been denied reinstatement as a citizen of the United States. As he renounced allegiance to Russia w’hen he became an American citizen, Glaser today is not the citizen of any country. Despite a passionate plea by Glaser before Special Judge C. B. Tinkham in the course of a two-day hearing in superior court 2 here, during w’hich prominent Gary citizens testified both for and against hitn, the judge refused to again give him standing as an American citizen. Judge Tinkham’s decision in the case, embodying what many persons here term one of the most able definitions of citizenship ever expounded, in part, is as follows: “I have arrived at a conviction in this matter not without considerable effort and much solemn thought. This is a serious case—more serious than the average citizen or even the witnesses realize. In my opinion the effect will be far reaching and the decision may well be fruitful of either good or evil. “Under the law, a man before he can be admitted to citizenship, must prove he is good moral character. A strong character is not always proof of good character—as a matter of fact, history attests that some of the strongest characters have been the deciples of evil. “Citizenship is not a right but a privilege which, as I have said, can not be bestowed upon a man until he has proved the right standards. Glaser is credited with having a brilliant mind. He resents the brand of “red,” although admitting he is a communist. He says the public fails to see a distinction between the two words. During a plea to the court, Glaser said: , >--■§; jgsj “I value the government of the United States. I have known the tyranny of the Russian czar and it is true that I opposed his regime, but if that makes me a criminal, then George Washington and those other patriots who lifted their hands agains the tyranny of George 111 were also criminals.” Glaser announces he will ask for a rehearing.

R, G. T. C. Criticised by Minister in Address at Anderson, By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., June 21—Decrying military training in American colleges as a menace to world peace, the Rev. Earnest A. Reardon, Denver, Colo., criticised the reserve officers training corps as a “breeder of war” in an address before an audience of 7,000 at the annual International Church of God convention here. “Military training constitutes a tendency toward militarism and justifies no place in this country’s educational system,” said the Rev. Mr. Reardon. “Whenever this nation’s schools learn to idolize its apostles of peace as devoutly as they glorify our military heroes, then we shall have taken a definite step toward world peace, economic soundness, universal happiness and Christian victory.” The minister said he had influenced his son not to join the R O T.

‘BUCKET SHOP’ CHARGE IRES DRY BISHOP Nothing Dishonest in Stock Transactions, Cannon Declares. BELIEVED FIRM 0. K. ‘Political Mud-Slinging,’ Reply Hurled Back by Cleric. Bu Vnittd Pres* WASHINGTON, June *2l.—Bishop James Cannon Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, has issued a statement explaining he sees nothing dishonest or unworthy in the stock transactions he carried on through the now defunct firm of Kable & Cos., New York brokers. Commenting on New York newspaper dispatches disclosing such transactions, Bishop Cannon said today that during the last presidential campaign, when he was opposing Governor Alfred E. Smith in the south. Senator Carter Glass (Dem., Va.) and the New York World, told him they had the information which has just been printed for the first time. “Why, out of all the countless millions of stock transactions during the past two years,” Cannon asked, “have these in my name been selected for comment by Senator Glass, the New York World and now other secular papers? “Certainly the times especially selected for the attacks—during the national campaign last fall and now the beginning of the Virginia campaign—are sufficient proof of the real motive underlying the threatening telegram last October and the publications of today. Calls It ‘Mud Slinging’ “What bearing did my private stock transactions have upon the question of the defeat or election of Alfred E. Smith and what have they to do today with the issue of Raskobism and southern Democracy, or prohibition and lawlessness? “The resort to mud-slinging, the effort to besmirch my character and to weaken by influence by publishing to the world that I have purchased and sold stock indicates the desperation of the enemy and deserves the contempt of all decent men and women.” Cannon said he bought and sold stock through Kable & Cos., believing it to be a reputable firm,' just as he has always carried on private business. * For forty years I have engaged in business transactions of various kinds,” he said. “I openly have bought and sold houses and lots, timber stumpage. coal, cotton and bank stocks and bonds listed on the New York Exchange, first in Richmond from my personal acquaintances, Colonel John P. Branch and Mr. Langbourne M. Williams, both Christian gentlemen at the head of the Richmond Stock Exchange houses. Lost by Firm’s Failure “I learned of the monthly installment purchase plan of Kable & Cos. I thought the firm to be a reputable firm, and bought and sold some stocks through it. “I was surprised greatly when I heard of its failure, but I received a personal letter from the firm explaining why it had filed a voluntary petition of bankruptcy owing to inability to meet its contracts, that the affairs of the firm would be settled in the usual way. and that I would doubtless receive a dividend when the business was wound up. “Os course, T regretted the failure of the firm, but accepted my loss as an incident common in business transactions.” Cannon made public all the telegraphic correspondence with Glass and the New York World regarding his stock transactions. It purports to show that on Oct. 28, 1928, Glass asked if he could deny charges which had come to him on Cannon’s behalf and that on Nov. 1, 1928, the World asked for an explanation. Cannon replied in both cases that he had dealt with Cable & Cos., making ful lor partial payments, just as other business men do,” but did not regard his private business as any concern of the public.
