Osborn Accepted by the Maloney Family in Philadelphia
In Philadelphia on November 7, 1924, Arthur Herbert Osborn will be publicly recognized as the legal husband of Helen Maloney. A seven hour conference among Martin Maloney, Osborn, and lawyer William J. Fanning concluded the plan. The couple left by train to Spring Lake after four cabs conveyed family members and witnesses. A Catholic canonist described the church stance on remarriage, noting no priest will marry them again and no dispensation has been applied for. The Marriage License Clerk said he would not issue a license to Osborn and his wife, given existing civil and church considerations.
