Soldier "Weds" But Did Not Have A Wife Fort Bragg?He paid $5 for the marriage license, said, "I do," and paid the preacher, then later found he lacked a wife. Such was the plight of Pvt. Bryan Clemmons,. one of three brothers from Greensboro, who are members of the 65th General hospital here. Private Clemmons made the appall ing discovery last week when he ap plied for Service Men's Dependent Allowance. Nor was that all The bride was legally "married" to the best man. This new epic of the classic love triangle, it seems, began back in Greensboro when Clemmons and the former Miss Ann Mebane plight ed their troth in the Presbyterian church on May 14th. All, they thought, was legal and everything pledged with u platinum ring, blessed by the minister, and duly recorded at the court house Then last week the truth came out in a photostat is copy o! tin- marriage license sent here for Clemmons' al lowance application. Mi's Clemmons, the record show ed, was the wife of Pvt. Jack Clem mons, who had been best man at his brother's wwMUng. No marital storm developed, how ever, for it was learned the error in names had been made when Jack got the license for Bryan who was work ing in a Baltimore defense plant at the time. Everything's straightened out now on the books, but Jack wonders what kind of a widower he is and if he'll have to make an allotment for his "wife" of four months.
