From Prison To Wedding.
-----

       Worcester, Mass., Oct. 8--The marriage of Miss Clara Cecilia Leach and John W. Maher wich was solemnized in St. John's church this morning, was the culmination of a romance out of the ordinary.  The bride is one of the wealthiest women in Worcester and prominent socially.  Mr. Maher is prominently connected with the club, lodge and business life of the city.  About four years ago he was sent to jail because of accusations of misappropriationg of funds made against him by the senior member of the firm with which he was connected.  He was released under a new state law after he had served three and half years.  His bride-to-be steadfastly refused to believe in his guilt and immediately he was released from prison arrangements for their wedding were made.
