ENGLISH GIRL'S HONEYMOON EXPERIENCE.
Again and again have English girls been warned of the danger of marrying foreigners of whose antecedents they know nothing. Warnings, however, appear to be futile,. The latest to suffer through want of a little judicious inquiry is a young lady who formerly was Miss Nellie Pemberton, at one time an assistant in a Loudon cigar shop. Miss Pemberton married an Italian named Andalo, and the pair were in Brussels on their honeymoon when they were arrested, the husband being'suspected of jewellery thefts and also of the attack on Miss Lew, the English nurse, in the Mont Oeuis tunnel.
They were confined in separate cells, Signora Andalo being kept for nearly 13 hours without food on the first day of her imprisonment, and undergoing all the degrading processes of measurement, photography, etc., to I which criminals are subjected. She was only discharged after two dreary weeks of solitary confinement in a cell. Unable to speak French, she could not even exchange a word with her warder. During the examination which preceded her release, the magistrate asked her whether she knew anything of her husband’s career. It appears that in his youth ho was the associate of Italian Anarchists, this being the reason why lie has been deported from Belgium. She replied that she knew nothing of Andalo’s history. The magistrate observed: “That is how English girls get into trouble. They marry foreigners without knowing anything of their past history. ’’
