Prospective Groom a Former Jurist Now Feeble in Mind and Body. Letters of Guardianship Applied For by a Friend to Thwart Alleged Schemers. Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, May 10.? Judge Chauncey A. Horr, 71 years of age and a paralytic, a few years ago came into possession of a small fortune in Bloomington, Illinois. The income from his property was sent to him by Eastern relatives through Judge Aaron Bell of this city. The aged man was boarding and lodging at the home of Mrs. Chance, a widow living on California street in this city. A few days ago Judge Bell got word from his client's relatives In the East that a deed had been placed on record in Bloomington, transferring title to nineteen acres of valuable land, the consideration being "love and affection." Upon receipt of this information Judge Bell at once applied for letters of guardianship on the ground of his client's incompetency. On Monday night, while Judge Bell's petition was still pending in court, City Attorney Braynard, the notary who had certified the gift deed, went to the County Clerk's office and procured a marriage license for Judge Horr and Mrs. Chance from Clerk Cunningham, who had been absent from the office and knew nothing of the application for guardianship. When County Clerk Drynan returned he at once notified his deputy of the true state of affairs. Clerk Cunningham hurried to the home of Mrs. Chance to forbid the ceremony. He found that Rev. J. B. Hartsough, an aged man, had been summoned to officiate at the wedding, but had refused to proceed when he saw the helpless condition of the prospective groom. Judge Bell arrived later and took his client away from the Chance house. The affair has created a sensation here and an investigation is now under way. Is this him? http://www.archive.org/stream/unitedstatescon773offigoog/unitedstatescon773offigoog_djvu.txt
