The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1888-12-08

loved his girl wife and taking a coy fat
the two lived like a couple Of turtle doves. |
He took no note Of bis family's dlspleasure,
and so three happy years rolled swiftly
away. One bright afternoon ten years ago
he stepped out Of his house, kissing his
Young wife at the doorstep, and from thav
time till week ago be might have been
sunk In the sea. In few weeks the girl
wife suddenly disappeared, and the neigh
bors all said that in fit of desperation at
losing her husband she had made away
with herself, and in a short time the pair
known lawyer called on gentleman &C.
cupying a comfortable position in the Erie
railroad offices, and asked him II he was
not the man who had deserted his wife ten
years before, and being confronted with the
proofs he admitted that he was. In the
meantime be had married again and was
the father of four children. The lawyer
asked him how he came to marry having
another wife living, but he informed his
questoner that his wife was dead and that
he had the information from her sister, in
whose arms she died in New Orleans five
or six years before. The lawyer appeared
satisfied but asked him to meet him at his
office next day when he brought him and
his first wife face to face. The husband
was thunderstruck; his second wife was
lost TO him and his children might be de-
clared illegitimate. He begged for mercy,
but the wife was in no merciful mood and
threatened 20 land him in States Prison for
bigamy. At last 1t was agreed that he
should pay her five dollars week, the
money to be sent to the General Post Office,
as the first wife refused to give her address
or to tell anything about herself TIL,
money was paid fol several weeks and 'her
the husband shadowed her with detectives
and after a long hunt found her living Will
lawyer who was once friend of his, ant
who has been passing her as his wife TO
the last eight ears. The couple were liy
ing in excellent style and the freak tina
took possession Of the deserted wife appear
TO have been of revenge at finding he
former husband so happy with anothe
affinity, though she had consoled herself b
taking another husband. As 1t looks nov
/ she will be luck, If she escapes States Priso
for bigamY herself, the only thin
q that can save her is the absence of th
1 second marriage certificate and of tina
there appears 10 be some doubt.
