NEW BlGANY WARRANT.
Pohee Justice Richardson called the at
teDtiOn Of the Commonwealth Attorney 10
the fact that the warrant charged prisoner
with bigamy in first marrying Mrs. Nellie
De Hart daughter OF Rev. Mr. H0vey1 and
thenin marrying Miss Turpin.
Mr.. Witt said that he intended TO men,
tion that matter and 10 make the necessary
change required by the developments OF the
case.
The Police Justice asked IL the Common
wealth's Attorney desired new warrant,
and Dir. Witt replied that be did.
Thereupon the Police Justice drew up
another warrant, charging T.. A. Marvin
alias Morton with marrying Miss Turpin
on the 20h OF July, having previously
married "JenDie -" whose maiden
name is unknown, aud she, the said Jennie
-, being then alive.
This warrant was executed by Sergeant
Chalkley serving 1t upon the prisoner as be
sat in the court room beside his counsel,
Mr.. 5. VI. Page. Both prisoner and coun-
sci examined the paper critically before
they handed it back to the officer.
no WITNESSES.
The Police Justice asked Mr. Page II they
bad any witnesses.
Mr.. Page said that they had none; none
that they had the time and opportunity TO
procure.
The accused was then sent on to the grand |
Jury OF the Hastings Court for indictment
for bgamy.
BY permission OF the Police Justice, Mr..
Page ana Norton Marvin had long inter- |
view in the clerks Office before prisoner |
was sent to Jail. ..u
MARVIN y on HIS WAY TO EUROPE.
A letter pCrpOrting to have been written |
by Marvin and postmarked New York was
recently received by Rev. DR.. Minnige- |
rode.
The writer said that be was the party at
whose marriage the Doctor ofliciated in |
Richmond /; that Miss TUrpin deserted him;
be bad not deserted her; and that now be-
ing on the eve OF embarking for Europe, |
he addressed the Doctor in behalf Of the in
noeent man held at Richmond for him MAR |
VIM. He thought it would be a great shame
IL the Doctor permitted that wrong TO be
done, &c., DC.
There Is clue to the writer OF the letter,
and when the matter ls exposed it will add
another interesting chapter to the history Of
this famous case. |
NOT THE MAN.
Several gentlemen Of this city have been
under the impression that Mortou-M Marvin
might, from the descriptions published, be
the man who appeared here in 1874, and,
under the name OF Van Ness and as "the
agent OF Vanderbilt" bought, or agreed TO
buy, the Richmond Paper Mill and Walker
81 Saunders's mill in Manchester. That
there is some resemblance TO Van Ness there
is no doubt. Two OF the gentlemen who
were deceived, but by good luck not de.
irauded by Van Ness, yesterday went 10 The
jail, called upon Morton, and clDdidy told
him the obit Of their Yisit-tO see whether !
be was Van Ness. He said be was not, and |
after a good look at him they were con-
Yineed that he was not. He, however, said |
that he remembered something about The
Van Ness case, having read about il in The |
New York Herdld when he was in New |
York. 4
