MAIL ORDER BRIDEGROOM HAS YARNIN' FOR TENNESSEE HILLS
SOJOURN
IN JUG DELAYS RETURN
March 1, 1948
When a mail order bridegroom from the Tennessee hills, Charles
Rex Harmon, 47, was called in
Municipal Judge Elmer D. Doyle's court to
answer to a petty theft charge brought against him by his intended bride, Mrs.
Ruth Weaver, 7027 Longridge Ave., Harmon did not answer. Unknown to the jilted
bride and to Judge Doyle,who issued a bench warrant for his arrest, Harmon was
in jail, had never made bond,and had not tried to get away. He Quietly Walked
Out More homesick than lovesick, Harmon, a lonely bachelor in Briceville,Tenn.,
had advertised through a matrimonial column for a suitable wife, and had
received a reply from Mrs. Weaver with whom he exchanged photographs and plans.
Using a railway ticket and $14 she sent him, Harmon arrived in Van Nuys on Jan.
2. On Feb. 2, the day set for the wedding, he decided he "didn't like it here,"
quietly walked out, and started thumbing his way easterly toward his mountain
home in Tennessee. Police picked him up a few hours later on Mrs. Weaver's
charge that $93 Harmon had on his person belonged to her news vendor son, Lester
Monk. Was Lost In Shuffle Harmon contended in pleading not guilty at his
arraignment Feb. 3 that his ex-fiancee had given him the money on her agreement
to pre-pay his return to his home state. After being lost in the shuffle at city
jail, Harmon was finally brought before Municipal Judge Charles T. Johnson
Thursday. His return to his Tennessee home was delayed when Judge Johnson
sentenced him to 90 days in city jail for theft of the $93.
