Rome Tribune: Tom Dodson has been
ARE ted for bigamy. He has two wives
and both Of them are guilty of the same
crime. Monday morning W. d. Brown
swore out warrant before Justice Harris
charging Tom Dodson with bigamy. bod
son WAS witness in one or two cases before
the police court, aud here Officer Guice
arrested him aud took him to Jail. TIE
story Of the case as obtained from bod on
Brown, is as follows: In 1879 bod
son was married to a young woman
in Chattanooga, whose name was
Minerva Ro !ers. Ttey lived together
until 1886, when Dods III was arres ed in
Dayton, Tenn. for counterfeiting. He was
and sentenced t. serve three years
in the United States peniteutiary at Albany,
n. Y. his sentence was committed, how
ever, and in 1883 he was released aud came
directly to Rene. Here he met the wo nan
he made Mrs. Dodson No. 2. Her name was
Miss Minnie Morgan, the marriage occur
ring two months after he was released from
custody and only two nights after he met
Miss Morgan. In the meantime be had lost
track Of his first wife, and he either thought
she was dead or that two years separation
was enough for divorce, and especially as
they had not parted on the best Of terms A
few months ago. after Dods0n had married
the second wife, news reached Rome that
his first wife, or wife No. /, had married a
railroad man in New Decatur, Ala, where
they are now living. In Decenber, 1889,
Dodson and wife No. 2 were sepa-
rated without any divorce being obtained.
Dodson left Rome and went to South Caro-
lima. and last October while he was away
wife No. 2 was married to W. b.
Brown, an iron molder, who is ths man that
swore out the warrant. Here is the way
the case now stands: Dodson is guilty OF
bigamy, and so are both of his wives. The
husbands of both of these wives may be
guilty of a very grave offense. Mrs Brown
or Mrs. Dodson No. 2 was seen at her
home, near the cotton factory, by a Ifib-
une reporter the other afternoon. She
seemed to be very much worried and re-
luctant to talk, but iu reply to few guess
tions. she said that she had married Dodson
in 1888. and that he hid told her about his
first wife, but said that they had a divorce.
She stated that when Brown married her,
he told her that Dodson was not separated
from his first wife, which made her free.
