December 10, 1918 -

WENDT - LIVERMORE WED

Miss Dorothy Wendt and Jesse Livermore were married recently. Both are known here, Mr. Livermore having purchased High Knolls on Signal hill for his fiancee last year. The groom known in Wall Street as the "boy plunger" married Miss Wendt the day after his divorce from the former Nettie Jordan. The new bride is a former show girl and singer and one of her bridal gifts was a magnificent home in upper New York city.

Livermore is credited with having run his latest string up to $8,000,000. He made his start in Boston. There after his first marriage, while working at a broker's office he plunged in the market and lost. His wife returned to her job as stenographer. With $3.21 he hit the cotton market and incredibly ran his string up to $10,000. Plunging heavier he rolled up hundreds of thousands, moved to New York and was rated in 1907 at $2,000,000. Two years later he was broke and was down to his last dollar, seven times in ten years. In 1915 he filed for bankruptcy but has since come back to great prosperity.

Ten years ago Chester S. Jordan, brother of the first Mrs. Livermore, murdered his wife in a rage, cut her body into pieces which he hid in a trunk. Livermore was credited with spending thousands in legal fees in a vain effort to save Jordan from the electric chair.
