Claiming a patent denial of due process, Father Conklin petitioned Montana's U.S. District Judge William J. Jameson to spring Mrs. Colliflower on a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Jameson dismissed the case on the ground that he was "without jurisdiction...
...artifacts, man. They weren't real. I won't mourn them. I have my own dead to mourn for.

In the circumstances, Sinatra might reasonably have opted for some remote, potentially private area, but instead he chose the vacationer-clogged coast of New England. When the Southern Breeze anchored off Newport on the first night, reporters were swarming. "Are you married? Do you plan to get married?" Sinatra and Mia said nothing.
