ningham, Arthur Merritt, etc., etc., has
within a few years married a dozen women
in various parts of the country, beside

summated few weeks ago, the particulars
of which have already been widely pub
lished. By means of an advertisement for
governess, published in an Eastern religious
paper, he secured correspondence with a
number of ladies, which led to personal
acquaintance with at least two of them and
a marriage with both after brief courtship
and within few days Of each other. One
of these victims was Miss Turpin, of Rich
mond, Va, a young lady of good birth and
excellent attainments; the other, Mrs. De-
Hart, a young widow. daughter Of L. G.
Hovey, Presbyterian minister at Lakewood,
n. j. His marriage with the New Jersey
widow took place on July II, and on the
Doth, nine days later, he married the Rich
mond lady. 1t is needless to add that he
made both speculations pecuniarily profita-
BILE, obtaining in each case, upon various
pretexts. and generally by means of forged
drafts, liberal sums Of money. He will be
taken to Richmond for trial.
