Divorce or No Divorce In Which Case No Application Necessary
Pittsburg January 6. Miss Alice Thaw and the Earl of Yarmouth were never legally married say lawyers and aides of the marriage license bureau. They contend the license was invalid due to technicalities including Yarmouth signing only as Yarmouth and not his full name, and the docket being taken to Lyndhurst where Miss Thaw signed. The claim hinges on Pennsylvania law requiring a proper license and presence or guardianship at the ceremony. A constable notes the Earl narrowly avoided jail when debt officers seized his rooms, released only after Thaw family funds settled the claim.
