Unintentional Bigamy.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNcIE, Jan. 15-This city is somewhat astir
this evening over sensation that has just be-
come generally known 1t grows out of the
narration of. story in which two parties,
formerly husband aud wife, are too much mar
ried, and one of whom, the wife, is now,
and has been for several years,
resident of this city. and who, believing
herself widow. became the wife of Mr.. Charles
Wolcott, man extensively known throughout
this county. 1t now transpires that her first
husband, Henry Rutherford, still lives, and is
The husband of another wife, by whom he is the
father of several children, all residing in jackson
county, Kansas, not far from Hoton. Rutherford's
life has been one rot void of romance. few
years after his marriage to the woman now
known as Mrs Wolcott he went to the war,
served three months, and then re-enisted. Soon
after his re-enlistment he became tired of bar
ing his breast as target for rebel bullets, and
deserted, returning to the woman, who shielded
him, and whom he afterwards deserted and took
up his abode In the pine forests of Canada,
where he became infatuated with and married
wife No. 2 A reporter called upon Mrs. Wal
colt this afternoon, and this is. substantially,
the story che tells in defense of her own act and
of the escapade Of her much married and
marriage to the Canada woman, whereupon she
went to Illinois and there began proceedings for
divorce from him, upon the ground of desertion
and bigamy. While action was pending, a news
paper paragraph informed the woman that her
husband had been blown up on
rebel gunboat the Red river, in
Arkansas The divorce decree then
was not asked for granted. Six or
seven years later she was married to her pres
ent husband, Mr.. Charles Wocott, and has lived
with him since. She had one child by her
former husband and two by the latter. Some
time in the early part of the winter she wrote
letter to Mr.. Rutherfords mother, now living at
Bolivia, H., and this letter was forwarded to
Mr.. r.. in Kansas. Upon the receipt of the letter
he indted very loving letter to Mrs. Wolcott,
congratulated her on her happy married state,
hoped she was enjoying life, and was very affec-
Tomato. She appears to be contented with her
present state, and has no thought of reioining
husband No. l, who, from the tenor of his let
ter, would be only too ready to de-
sert the Canada woman and reclaim his
first love- Mr. Wolcott has little to
say in regard to the matter, but has such conf
dence in his wife to feel confident that she
will give him cause for trouble. There is
much speculation as to what will be the outcome
of the case, but the probabilities are that moth
ing will or can be done to right the wrong for
which faithless husband alone is responsible.

Henry Nagle of Jeffersonville, who had adopted
her. They landed at New Orleans, and the vel
low fever destroyed all the family except Miss
Huber. All the private effects and papers be-
longing to Miss Huber were lost stolen, and
she had no record of her family. She was taken
by Mr.. Nagle and raised as his child. Every eff
fort until lately has failed to secure trace of
her family. At last the search was rewarded by
news from Austria of her family and their efforts
to trace her out. The letter is very affecting
one.
