GAFFNEY GIRl MARRIED AS A MAN IN MISSOURI. i ' Pauline Webiter Charged With Perjury in Obtaining a Marriage Certificate to Wed a Restaurant Cashier. Kansas City, Jan. 22.?An investiga, tion today at police headquarters into the . case of John Allaine Whitman, who was jjC.v;. arrested yesterday following his marriage : V Fridayto Miss Marietta Jelley, a restaurant cashier, proved that Whitman is a woman and the latter thereupon confessed herself to be in reality Miss Pauli ine Webster, aged 21, a native of Gaffney, ^ 8. C. - She will be prosecuted for perjury ^ committed in obtaining the marriage f-v >' 'license. V "I am a woman, but I have dressed as a man for three years," she said today in the pretence of Chief Heyes. 4,I have worked as a man and lived as one. 1 Y * :f .:? married this girl when she said she could not live without me. My father's name . was Noah Webster. He was a big South m uaroiina mason, wnen ne aiea eigui y ; > years ago, be left some money to me and my two brothers, J. E. Webster and J. R j . Webster. I did not think I was getting v my share, so after quarreling with ray r brothers, I left home. I worked in hotels restaurants until three years ago. '.Qvlq day in Dallas, Tex., while I was employed in the Kimball hotel, I heard that t&jk was wanted by a theatrical comz. .V' psoy traveling in a private car. The ft v owner of an employment agency told me ' . " -if I igas a man I could get $60 a month. I ,;?$J^^*tgave me an idea. I bought a cheap auk, cut off my hair, and next day rehorned to the agent and completely fool; ingthe employment agent was hired for * the theatrical company." "I loved him and thought that with his py- money and my little savings we could ,f buy a restaurant and make a good living," *.6aid Marietta Jelley today, ia her Jiome 'A:**" at Sheffield. MI cannot believe he (she) is a woman, I thank God though that I v did not leave Kansas City with him or ? her, or, Oh! I don't know what to do. He wanted me for my money, little that it was." REMEMBERED IN GAFFNEY. GaffjseY, Jan. 22.?Pauline Webster is well known here, but she has been%upV posed to be dead for several years. She -'m- vas the daughter of the late Noah Web ster, who was a large owner of real es*. tate in this county and left, a valuable estate, which was divided among the other heirs by the court, the daughter, Pauline, being regarded as dead. She , .left here several years ago under unfav^ orable circumstances ana nothing at all has been heard from her since then. Her relatives here are among the most prominent and highly respected citizens of the community, her brother being a prominent county official. The news of the I : affair in Kansas City is a surprise. ^ammmmm >? " >> o ? I ? bS o ^ * < d d ^ ^ o a -o a >> h o j 8 ? S E" 68 5? A so 5? 2? 3 ?Sf (, 3 V; <3 <e ,? f? s , b ! ? 5 -2 5 y .* C8 ' <?
