THE GENOA SENSATION.

About week since strange lady arrived
IN this city, and registered at one OF the ho-
tells. Her very genteel appearance attracted
the attention Of all i'll whose society she was,
for the time being, thrown; but her very ret
Icent manner concerning where she came
from, her object in coming and her destina-
ti0n was even more noticeable. On Sunday
morning last she left her temporary place of
abode, and engaged passage on the southern
stage for Genoa. When the coach arrived at
that;point, the usual small crowd was at the
station to see what passengers were aboard.
The idlers who saw the aforementioned gen
teel lady alight had no idea that she would
give them food for the choicest bit of scandal
mongering which ever fell to the lot of the
ultra respectable Genoese, The lady went to
the hotel and Was shown into the parlor OF
the house, which was at the time occupied by
several other ladies, She Immediately insti-
tuted inquiries respecting one +. c. GNirado,
whea one of the ladies stepped up and said
& 1 can give you all the information you wish
respecting the gentleman; he is my husband.
The stranger looked perfectly terror-stricken
at this announcement, AQd it was several mo-
msnts ere she could gain sufficient presence
of mind to reply, when she said; g You must
be mistaken, madam, for he is my husband.
This naturally produced very sentimental
scene, as could be well expected. At length
the two ladies decided to visit Guirados place
of business, he keeping drugstore in that
town. Guirado's CONSERVATION at seeing his
two wives enter his store at one time must
have been perfectly agonizing. What passed
there is only known to themselves However,
soon after this visit, the strange lady swore
out a warrant for the arrest of Gurado on Il
charge of bigamy, and as he is unable to fur
nish bail, he is languishing i'll the Bastile of
Genoa The accused denies ever having been
married to the lady who claims to be his first |
wife, but does not deny that he had for a long |
while prior to his coming TO this State lived |
with her upon terms of the greatest intimacy. |
The lady, on the contrary, refutes Guirado's |
statements, and says that she was married to |
him somewhere i'll the southern part OF Cali |
fornia, and to substantiate these facts she has |
telegaphed to Los Angeles to her brother,
who lives there, to come to her and bring her
marriage certificate and the affidavit OF the |
ustice of the Peace who married them !
This brother with her evidence are expected
to arrive here on the train this morning, when
the guilt or innocence of the accused viii soon
be established. Much sympathy is manifest
ed for the strange lady at Genoa, who, strange
to relate, is temporarily residing with the
mother OF the accused's second wife, while
the latter is living at hotel. 1t will be re-
that this man Guirado married the
daughter of the late Postmaster Davis OF
Genoa, about year ago, and the wedding
was made very impressive by the bridegroom
engaging in shooting scrape with lawyer
Iebbs, in which neither of the contestants
we're injured. Guirada is a brother in law of
ex- Governor Downey of California, and at one
time kept the drugstore now occupied by B.
F. Foster in this city.
