The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-12-25
A BIGAMIST NAILED
And a Much Injured Wife Vim
dictated.

Our people remember a man
named Oscar @. Robinson, who
made Pulaski his headquarters for
about a year and until last fall,
boarding his wife and little son at
Mrs. Charlie Carter's, while he
prosecuted the iightnlng-rod bust
ness through the south. He had a
good personal appearance and moth
ing ever occurred to lessen the ST.
lent respect that was entertained
for him until in the latter part of
the summer it. became known that
he had deserted his wife and left
her here without money among
strangers. Mrs. Robinson is an
exceedingly intelligent and low
able woman and those who came
in contact with her had learn
ed her many estimable virtues
and held her in high esteem, and
when it became known that her
husband had deserted her she had
much warm sympathy. BY selling
articles of furniture and clothing
and with the assistance of friends
she got money sufficient to carry
her 20 her kindred at Warsaw, Il.
Y. About the LIST of November it
became known through a newspa
per notice and was afterwards con-
tirmed by private advices that Rob
inson had married a Miss Nichol-
sou, of Mobile, Ala, an estimable
woman and a daughter OF a deceased
Episcopal clergyman. At the same
time a report obtained, which was
started by Robinson, that he was
never married to the woman whom
he left here. His actions were so
open that some believed the story,
but friends of Mrs. Robinson here
Immediately instituted inquiry that
resulted in her complete vindication
and shows the mendacious meanness
of the man who, not content with
deserving his wife and child and
leaving them helpless among stran
gers, must, ~ carry Oat his further
devilUry, blackgn her good name
with foulest SANDER. We have in
our possession a copy Mrs. R. was
afraid TO send the original through
the mails lest she might lose a pa
per that is now of such infinite val
ne TO her of the marriage certificate
signed By Rev. j. V. Stryker, Rec
tor of Trinity Church, Warsaw, n.
v, showing that Oscar G. Robinson
was married to Sarah G. Gibson
(tho present injured woman) on
20th Sov'r, 1867, This is accompa-
nicd by certificate signed by eight
persons VINO are now living there
sad Witnessed the ceremony. Also,
y notice of the marriage clipped
from some newspaper at the time.
These papers admit of no doubt
shat the lady who was in Pulaski
was She lawful wife of Robinson.
w2 mention them specifically so
thai all doubt may be removed from
She mind of our people as to the
BrUtAfulngss OF the foul and hell-born
SANDER perpetrated upon a good wo-
9nan by a man who had sworn TO
iovS Snd protect her. There is no
tHowbt th9t Robinson is guilty of
bdgsmy and has brought another
lpaoccnt woman to grief and shame.
The parties from whom we get our
ia formation and who received the
papers alluded to are our best citi-
gems, sad they prosecuted the inqui-
~ fox the purpose of relieving a
gpacsG womaR's name from infamy.
uHr people had conceived a strong
ilEing tor Mrs. Robinson while |
heres aad this vindication will rIpen |
EFom pity into love. How sad the
grief Ghst must Overwhelm a wife's |
hetgs when she is abandoned by the |
anan size loves and who had sworn |
go shield and preserve and love her I!
Bat how Infinitely more grievous to
4fke W}Fe's heart to realize that she |
is not only deserted and left desc !

and Gerry ont baser designs, he
besmtfxhrs her fair name with foul
est slender ond attempts to cover
HE QiTc 8ad their beautiful little
boy under y geekiAg heap Of infamy
and shane. From our hearts we
sympsGsIza with her and her boy |
In opf souls we execrate the demon
who has wrought this irrepsrable
Would that we could ad-
m&s iassE a balm to her injured
hears. IL is a relief that she is rid
Of a man who is capable of such
meaRacss, and it may be some con-
ISOLATION 70 her to know that she has
the sympathy and respect and love
of many friends in Pulaski. We do
not write this to prosecute him, for
his very conscience should be
reeking hell within him, his dreams
should be scenes in hell, and his
waking moments should be expert
ences in hell. We learn that he is
now living with his new wife in
Montgomery.
