Andrew-James Kerr Said to Have Two
Wives Living and Has Applied for a
Divorce from the First.
On Tuesday Senator Donahoe intro
duced bill into the Senate to
divorce Andrew Kerr from Cornelia
Kerr, both of this city. George 7.
Brown, Esq, is, the attorney for Mr..
Kerr who is a stepson of David
Lemon.
Mrs. Cornelia Kerr claims that her
husband attempted to get the divorce
without her knowledge aud that he has
done wrong and not she. They were
married over fifteen years ago and have
two daughters aged 10 and 8 respect
lively.
Four years ago Kerr ran off with a
young woman named Annie Kreps, or
something similar. At that time David
Lemon, the step-father, had the matter
kept quiet, but now, so it is stated, he is
assisting Kerr in getting divorce.
The mother of the woman with whom
Kerr eloped with told Mrs Cornelia Kerr
that he was married to her daughter in
Philadelphia and that he was living with
her under the name of Joseph Kerr. A
search of the records in PHILADELPHIA
failed to show the registry of the
marriage. Mrs. Cornelia Kerr is now
living with her mother Mrs. Mary Hick
man at No. 504 Lombard street. Andrew
Kerr who is a candy maker is working
in Philadelphia and it is reported comes
TO this city every Saturday night. David
Lemon was not in when an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter called at his
place Of business this morning.
therefore the above could not be verified.
kerr's grounds for divorce are that for
three years before he left his wife she
was not virtually a wife to him and that
she did not conduct herself as wife
should.
Mrs. Cornelia Kerr intends to push the
matter in the courts should it be learned
that Kerr is a bigamist. Mrs. Hickman
has supported her and her children for
the four years since Kerr left her
David Lemon was seen by an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter after the above was
written. He positively declined to say
anything in relation to Andrew Kerr.
While the reporter was questioning him
in order to open a conversation, he asked:
do you want me TO tell everything
against the man / known "Ah" said
the reporter, "Then you know something
against Mr.. kerry" He declined to say,
but forbid the reporter using either Mr..
kerr's name or his name in connection
Herewith.
