FULL TEXT: Baltimore, June 28. – Mrs. Dorothy S. Smith had a
“propensity for marriages,” her lawyer admitted.
He was putting it mildly.
For the 30-year-old attendant in a Washington hospital was
married five times within five years. And only one of them – to James Smith –
was legal.
The woman’s whirlwind parade of husbands came out before
Federal Judge Roszel C. Thomsen yesterday. She was charged with receiving army
allotment checks illegally from her fourth husband.
She pleaded guilty. But Judge Thomsen permitted her to
withdraw the plea and remain free on bail until he receives a probation report.

sentenced to six months in prison yesterday in Federal Court for illegally
receiving an allotment check from a soldier.
Mrs. Dorothy S. Smith, 30, of Washington, admitted the five
marriage ceremonies she went through in a matter of five years caused her to
get a $21 Government check to which she was not entitled.
William J. Evans, assistant United States attorney,
contended only one of the five marriages was a proper one. The other marriages
were made before a divorce was obtained, he said.
