Morning Oregonian November 2, 1904
Mrs.C.Jaskcey Thinks Her Marriage Was Fraudulent
Mrs.Christina Jaskcey,of Vancouver,Wash.,suspects that J.C.Barnes tricked her 
into a mock marriage,and to obtain information in regard to it she called at 
the County Clerk's office yesterday and interviewed Clerk Filds. The records 
shhow that a license was issued on September 22 for J.C.Barnes,aged 41,and 
Mrs.Christina Jaskcey,aged 31, and the witness who signed the marriage license 
affadavit was Joseph Hawkins.Mr.Fields searchinf further ascertained that no 
marriage certificate to the effect that the marriage was duly solemnized by 
one authorized to do so has been returned to his office,and told the visitor 
so.
"When Mr.Barnes proposed that we come to Portland and be married I readilt 
assented because I thought a great deal of him.That evening he took me to a 
house the location of which I am not familiar with,and the cereomy wa 
sperformed.Mr.Barnes expalined that the Judge  was busy and could not attend 
the ceremony and had sent his clerk.I did not think anything was wrong,and the 
ceremony wa sperformed.Recently during slight disagreements with Barnes I have 
had reason to suspect from remarks he made that all is not as it should be and 
now that I find no marriage certificate has ever been returned,I am convinced."
Mr.Shields sent the woman to see District Attorney Manning who will be 
investigating the case.
