These expressions came after Pro fessor Tiernan and Mrs. Brimmer were Informed their marriage had been rendered Illegal by annullment of Professor Tiernan's divorce from Mrs. Augusta Tfernan at South Bend, Ind., and her own prior mari tal status possibly was beclouded. When It years old, eight years ago, she eloped with Floyd L. Hash, Marshalltown baker, from the home of her parents, the Rev. and Mrs. Charles H. Hawn, then of Aredale, Iowa, and now of Hansel, Iowa, she said. Four days after receiving a notice that Rash had sued for divorce she said she married Arthur L. Brimmer, at Oskaloosa, Iowa, only to learn still later that Rash had not obtained a final decree when she married Brimmer.- Nothing was done about the mat ter, she said, but she and Brimmer came to Chicago where she became a check girl In a Chinese restaurant. While here she learned that Brim mer then was being sued for divorce by an earlier wife, whereupon she returned home, but rejoined Brim mer later at Kansas City, Mo. He disappeared there, she said, and his brother Informed her Brimmer was dead. "Is that all the proof of freedom you had when you married me." Professor Tiernan was said to have exclaimed. Replying to a question regarding still another romance, Mrs. Brimmer said she had not married the man named, but that aha met him in Ma son City, Iowa, had gone to Salt Lake City and from there to his home in Unlontown, Fa., where his mother told her he was married and the father of a child. The man's mother paid her way back home, Mrs. Brim mer said. ' , 1 Hhortly thereafter' she became in terested in the Tlernan-Poulln pater nity case -and began the penciled correspondence with Professor Tier nan, which led to their meeting here ; last Thursday night, their nrst sight of each other, and to two attempts to be married in Illinois before their unsuccessful effort at Crown Point, Ind. Mrs. Brimmers letters as pub lished by the Chicago Herald and Kxamlner began by referring to Pro fessor Tiernan as "Dear Friend" and I gradually increased in warmth of tone until Proteaeor Tiernan is aaia to have finally replied. "Some day I am coming for you," to which Mrs. Brimmer was quoted as having responded: "And when you do you'll llnd me waiting." Regarding money, Mrs. Brimmer was quoted as saying: "I havs plenty. Money has no attraction whatever." .
