Herman Girthe, of the Tenth ward, was
arrested late yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Smith on the prevailing charge, and was
taken before Judge Mckay. The complaint
alleges that between November l, 1888, and
October l, 1886, the defendant lived and
cohabited with Eliza Girthe and Anna Schulz
theirs as his wives. The defendant entered
q plea of not guilty, and the prosecution
opened fire by introducing the first wife as a
witness. This lady's testimony was very
damaging, in fact, it was quite convincing,
and before her examination was finished it
was evident that Girthe had ceased to hope.
The scond wife was put ON the stand, and
after refusing to answer several questions,
she was finally brought around and admitted
that she was married to the defendant that
she had two children by him, one of them
but two months old, and that she had lived
with him for three years past as his wife.
Girthe was then placed under So, 1000 bonds
to await the action of the Grand Jury.
