| BIGAMIsT.-On Saturday, q German,
named Edward Norman alias Heintzler, was
arrested by Sergeant German, charged with
having one more wife than tho law allows.
II appears by certificates produced before
Justice Clark that the gay Edward was mar
ried In September, 1866, to Mary Norman, a
| g
Catholic Church, and on September 20, 1868,
he was again united In marriage to Miss
Caroline Hettinger, by the Rev. Wm.A A. Frey,
OF the Lutheran Church. At the trial both
wives were present, the first one having In
her arms cherub about twelve months Of
age, which the masculine deceiyer promised
to take charge Of, II the matter in dispute
could be settled.
The magistrate saw no 4" Justice " In such
procedure, and committed Norman TO Jail In
default OF $500 for his appearance at court.
Yesterday morning wife No. 1 appeared at
the Central guard-house TO inquire by what
means she could draw the payment of the
pension duo her husband, Che having served
In the late war; as she understood wife No.
was making application at the Pension
Office to secure the same. The officer In
charge Informed the lady how she should
proceed, when she LEFT the station, and
doubtless ere this time has arranged the
matter satisfactory to herself for the support
Of her child.
