Utah divorce. No. Good

Last week L. B.. McNabb was tried
| aud convicted in the Court. of Com
mon Pleas of Trumbull County of tht
crime of bigamy. The Warren Record
gives the following facts connected
with the case;, ..t tt.., ,zsss.
/ In 1912 he married Miss Hahn
| with whom he had tour sons and one
dauxtter-all grown Up, of good char
acter, smart and idustriOusJ McNabb
while he lived in Poland, was . Meth
odist, and bore q good character, as a
number OF his old acQuaintances testi-
fled. However, Inclination or busi-
ness moved him TO leave his family
.bout 1870, and go to Kentucky.whe here
he remained a number of years, re-
turning home. about once in six
months, but remaining at home only
one or two days. Such conduct, long
continued, could not fail in producing g
mischief. In 1877 or ''78, he thought
he was entitled to a divorce from his
wife aud accordingly fled a petition
in the MahOning Common Pleas for
that purpose, which was heard by
Judge Taylor, then on the bench, and
his petition was dismissed. Not dis
heartened, he was still determined to
obtain a divorce from his wife. SO he
went. to, Cleveland aud found one
Benjamin., who attends. to such mat
tiers, and procured him 10 obtain a iii.
voice for him in Utah. In order to
give Brigham Y Dung Court iurisdic-
tlOn over parties that lived more than
two thousand miles from the territory,
it became necessary for plaintiff TO
swear that he contemplated becoming
: citizen, OF that far Off region. Bep-
j .min performed his part of the co. !.
Tract we'll, for in very brief period he
had back here, taped and sealed, as
complete a record granting divorce
as ever issned out Of the ecclesiastical
court OF England. Armed with this
precious document, he lost no time in
making love to Miss Olive Hammond,
very respectable maiden lady of Bris-
tol. and the twain were soon married., ),
and for a time all went well. Wife
MOL was not long in finding cut that
her liege Lord had gone astray, so
proceedings were instituted against
him for bigamy, with the result an
nounced above. s4s.,.-a .i.. Sc.
On the trial Judge Taylor stated to
the Jury that the Utah divorce was
was absolutely worthless as divorce,
null and void, yet If the defendant be-
lieved at the time he married Miss
Olive Hammond that he was lawfully
divorced from his first wife, that then
the jury should acqlit him. But the
jury, after'being out forty. ive minutes
did not SO think, and brought him in
guilty. A motion was made for a new
trial, but was overruled. The defend
ant has not yet been sentenced but the
Court intimated that they would in-
pose the shortest time allowed by law,
one year in the penitentiary.

and was admitted to the bar in 1882.
He at once commenced the practice Of

two or three years the partnership was
dissolved. He remained in Bennington

mind, combined with his large legal
