4 SupsrHuoUs Wife.
Eight years ago Thornton Nelson,


Eight years ago Thornton Nelson,
otherwise known as William Nelson,
and Jane Nelson, his wife, came here
from Shephsrdstown, w. Va, and
were welcomed to membership in
Mount Zion Church. Until year
ago they attended services in the
church, aud were visited by members
OF the flock. Then the husband
ceased being a regular attendant and
later it was learned that he had taken
unto himself another wife in the per-
son OF Harriet Lee, resident OF this
city. Pastor Luckett of Miles Chapel
performed the ceremony.
Thornton's action was questioned
by the church people and his plea
was that the first marriage was not
legal because he was not married by
a regular licensed minister.
Mrs. Nelson No. 1 recently deter
mined TO have him arrested. This
was done Friday, aud Thornton was
compelled to face both women in the
Police Court this morning. Harriet
said she had heard that Thornton was
married and that his wife was living.
but she did not know whether he
was married or whether they were
just living together.
A member of the church told Of
Thornton's claim as to the illegality
OF his first marriage, and Judge KIM
ball said he would give him chance
to prove it. The prisoner was held
for the grand jury and was committed
to Jail in default Of $500 security
