News from Detroit is that Kid McCoy, retired middleweight champion of the world, one-time inmate of San Quentin Prison and admittedly one of the “marryingest” men alive, is about to “go down for the count of nine.” His ninth bride will be Mrs Sue Cobb Cowley, a cousin of Irvin S. Cobb, humorist. The marriage (time and locale have not yet been arranged) will end a long interlude since McCoy’s last matrimonial excursion in 1918. During that time he served a term at California’s San Quentin Prison in connection with the sensational killing of Mrs Teresa Mors at Los Angeles. Paroled to Harry Bennett, chief of the Ford Motor Company personnel department, several years ago, he was pardoned recently by tire Governor of California.
