JEROME's Aide and Bride Flee Before Merciless Rice Attack

Pelted by ten pounds of rice, tangled in 500 yards of colored tape and covered by a bushel or more of confetti, Leo MacKee HUTCHINS, head of the stenographic bureau in the District Attorney's office, and his bride are today aboard the liner Hamburg on their honeymoon trip.

The chief directors of the attack on the honeymooners were Mr. and Mrs. H. C. BURCHINAL of Pittsburg, who had an old-time score with the bride to settle. The conspirators found pliable assistants, which was evidenced in the placarding [sic] of baggage and printed suggestions hung about the steamer advising fellow passengers what to do with newly wedded couples at sea.

One printed card profusely thrown about in conspicuous places read: "I love my wife, but oh! you Leo!" Many of the cards were worn by the tormenters on hats and clothing.

The bride was Miss Janette ABRAHAM, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ABRAHAM of No. 165 West Eightieth street. Dr. Houghton performed the ceremony Saturday noon, at the Little Church Around the Corner, with the parents of both bride and bridegroom present and a few chosen friends. A taxicab whirled the couple away from the church and they were not seen again until just before the steamer sailed.

Among those who saw the honeymooners away, besides the parents, were Miss Ted ABRAHAM, sister of the bride and maid of honor; Bert HUTCHINS, brother of the bridegroom and best man; Mr. and Mrs. BOLSHOT of the Ansonia Hotel; Mrs. H. B. LEESE[?] of Pittsburgh; Mr. and Mrs. H. C. BURCHINAL and son Herbert of Pittsburgh and F. W. PECK. 

Mr. and Mrs. HUTCHINS will be away almost three months, traveling in Great Britain and the Continent. They land at Naples and do Italy first.
