man named Werner Wright while her hus-
band wa, living. The facts dediced at the

Philip Weiggardt, who will he designated
n husband No. I. was living with the ac-
cuSed in this city, to whom he had been
married several wears. enlisted in the Fcdc-
raj army. and after one years service re-
turned to his family. In 1862 he again en-
listed, and received a bounty the sum Of
800. all Of which sum he placed in the
hands of hi> wife before departing. After
a years absence he returned, and still
found his family living quietly in the same
residence. In 1864 inducements were
offered him to enter the army for the third
time as substitute. which he did. and re-
coiyed for his services $500, and taking only
800 with him. departed. leaving the remain
ing 5000 with his wife for her support dur
ing his absence. lie followed the army dur
ing the Virginia campaign, and received II
number Of severe wounds, and was re-
moved to q hospital in the Southwest,
where he has been until Il few months ago.
when, finding bis health returning, he
shook the dust from, his feet; and
the reception awaiting him here, al
though he imagined all was not as it
should be, from the fact that several letters
written 70 his wife from the hospital had
been returned unanswered. On reaching
the city he immediately bent bis steps IN
the direction Of his former residence. and,
like Enoch Arden Of old, found that time
had worked miracles during his absence,
and that his wife had marrieda >econdt time,
and was the mother Of three children
by her second "venture." He at once
attempted 10 assert his authority; was
denied admittancc at first, but finally
interfere with the domestic arrange
mcntS ~ established by his wife. and be-
ing without money or friends, unwillinglv
submitted 10 his fate. For several weeks lie
resided under the am roof with his wife,
and was momcntarily the unwilling witness
Of his wiic's Uniaithtulncss. \ few days

the case under consideration, and.
