Papers Served on the Alleged Big
amiSt Yesterday.

The alleged bigamiSt, John Wilkins,
was finally placed under arrest for the
first time yesterday morning. and was
locked up in the county Jail. The war
rant for his arrest was sworn to by Lii
lie B. Wilkins. but no proof has yet
been produced to show that Wilkins
was ever married TO any of the numer-
Gus women with whom he lived, except
the complainant. Wilkins has retained
Judge HollinS, of Minneapolis. for coun-
sci. and is anxious to have a hearing at
once. He is the heir to considerable
fortune, and,Emma Scotsman, the wom-
an with whom he was living at Fer
gus Falls, is said to be worth $4,000 of
her own right. Wilkins declares that
his first wife, the complaining witness,
is ''out for the stuff" and is willing to
settle the matter for certain sum of
money.
The manner of wilkins arrest has
not created very favorable comment
among the legitimate officers of the law,
and County Attorney Egan is unwilling
TO go on with the case unless satisfied
that proofs can be obtained at once Suf-
ficient to substantiate the cause of COM
plant. The alleged arrest of Wilkins
at Fergus Falls was made by Capt.
Caldwell, detective in the employ of
Quinlan & Kings agency, of Minneap-
oils, and not by a Pinkerton officer.

arrest issued until yesterday, but Cald-
