During the gun battle, Walter Evans, husband 6f Fern, escaped on foot after Salem police forced the Evans car into the ditch. Roy Evans, twenty-eight, Fern's brother-in-law, was captured with her. Fern Evans* dreams have vanished. Like other girls she had visions of a Shimmering gown of ivory satin,~ the gay laughter of friends, a merry departure, with a send-off of rice and old shoes--then months of glorious travel--these are the dreams of the average girl for her marriage and honeymoon. Had a Good Job. And these were the dreams that Jailed wistful Fern. "I used to spend hours picturing that wedding day," Fern was saying, With that characteristic dreamy look In her hazel eyes. "Perhaps I would wear a yellow dress, or maybe a smart suit, but I must have that honeymoon. I would travel and see the world with the man I loved. "Then I had a good job. I was an Inspector in the Cleveland exchange when along came a man and I married him. I was seventeen and I thought I had found romance." The first husband of the girl was Frank Barberic, who now claims that they were never divorced. Fern declares Barberic told her the divorce had been granted. Long months of marital quarrels, broken by the birth of a baby girl, who Is now two years old and resides with her paternal grandparents--such Is Fern's story of that first marriage. The couple separated, and Fern started work as a waitress In Cleveland. Then romance again crossed the girl's path in the person of Walter Evans, blond, handsome and twentyseven. "From the start Walter was always good to me," she declared. "He was thoughtful--different from Frank. He seemed to care a lot for me, and finally we began to talk of marriage. Walter had always wanted to travel, and before long we were planning that honeymoon I had always dreamed about" A Qrlrn Honeymoon. The marriage and honeymoon became a reality, with two exciting months of travel over the United States for the newlyweds; but police annals shadow it with a grim story, They are charged with a series of robberies which took the honeymoonerg from Florida and Texas to Ohio. In Muskegee, Okla., the groom is wanted for wounding an officer who pursued him following a holdup. "It was more than a month before I discovered how he was getting money," Fern went on. "At first I thought I could break him. Then he told me he had served nine years at the reformatory at Mansfield, Ohio, for robbery and I knew It was useless, made up my mind to leave him as soon as we got back to Cleveland." But Fern's resolution came too late, and now she is named as a looter of a Dearborn home. "I didn't commit these robberies, but I was with Walter," she said. "He was good to me and I will stand by him. Whatever happens I'm going to take It smiling/' The insignia, he declared, will be worn on the right coat shoulder, and will make its initial apper.rance February 15.
