Two Boys Jilt Girls
Day Before Wedding
After they learned the men who were to have married them at
a double wedding Saturday has left town the night before, Miss Mary E. Brandt
and Miss Ella Grant, of Gloucester, went to the homes of the persons who had
been invited of the wedding and personally recalled the invitations.
The girls, who are 18 and 17 respectively, live a few doors
from each other on Cumberland street. They were to have been married at 5
o’clock Saturday afternoon in the parsonage of the First Methodist church.
The bridegrooms were to have been Lawrence Stephenson, 18,
of Connelly Springs, N.C., fiancé of Miss Brandt, and Otis Berry, 18, of the
same town, fiancé of Miss Grant.
While they wooed the two girls they spent their money
freely. At Christmas each gave his sweetheart a diamond ring. Wednesday the
young men discussed the wedding and the honeymoon trip with the girls. Thursday
they disappeared; and have not been heard of since.
