Mail Order Husband This Time Places Leap Year Proposals in Hands of Attorney
Des Moines reports leap year suitors for wealthy Anita farmer David McDermott have been turned over to his attorney. McDermott, who faced a previous alimony suit from Mildred Stevens after a California matchmaking marriage, now handles letters from 25 Des Moines women. One letter from a Wilmetsburg caller urged a housekeeper for McDermott before February 15. He previously wed Mildred Stevens in Des Moines, but the marriage ended with an annulment after evidence claimed she was already married in Long Beach. The saga drew wide attention as McDermott seeks counsel and a new path for his search.
