A Fair Haven Young Woman, Lizzie |
 O,Bricn, Placed Under Arrest-ISe-
 leased Under Five Hundred Dollars
 Bond.
 Lizzie O'Brien of 109 Atwatsr street was arrested last night on the charge of biga- my. She was released or $500 bonds.
 The arrest will revive one of Fair Ha- ven's sensations, which the gossips of that section talked over for long time. Three years ago Lizzie O'Brien, then twenty-two years old, eloped with Edward Hall, aged forty-Ave. She had previously bsen married to a man named Leonard, | who is supposed to be living in town. Hall was an engineer st that time on the Shore Line division of the Consolidated railroad. On every trip he passed near \ the house of the O'Briens. He carried on | a handkerchief filtration with Lizzie, who was always at the window when his train ! went by.
 ! It was not many days before Hall was in the neighborhood. This was nothing un- usual however, as he was known to have some time between trips. Later, however, he was noticed walking with Lizzie. l The sensation was produced when it was learned that the two had eloped and that
 Hall had already been married and had | four children.
 l About week ego Lizzie returned to her
 family with 6 baby in her arms. Tester
 day morning Mrs Hall No. 1 called upon Assistant City Attorney Mstthewman, and
 after short conference warrant
 was issued for Lzzis's arrest on
 the charge of bigamy. The warrant wac
 given to Officer Gates and ne arrested Liz l zie at the hone of her father, Thomas
 O'Briep, No. 10S Atwater street. HeI
 father gave bonds at the Grand avenue
 station and she wss released. Then 1t was
 that the whole story was learned. | Hall had been living with his wife and
 children at 'Guilford. His home, tc
 all appearaness, was 8 happy one. Tht
 pretty face of Lizzie, however, charmed
 him. He went to her house several
 times, always representing himself to be
 single man. Lizzie believed him, sht
 clsims. They were married in Wood
 bridge and immediately went out west
 where they have since been.
 Besides deserting his wife Hall treated her in 8 shameful way. Just before leav ing her he wrote her letter which b
 dated Montreal, Canada. In the letter b Canada. She immediately went to Mon treal, but could not find him. The reasol was very plain. While she was in Canad he was at home in Guilford selling all tn } household goods.
 Two of their children were deaf mute and were at an asylum in Hartford. Tn
 other two Hall took with him. When Mrt Hall returned after her fruitless search th news was given her. She was almost hear, broken, but che kept up and worked fo 1 her dumb cbildren.
 In the meantime Lizzie and Hall wei enjoying life somewhere, or at least the
 were living somewhere.
 Last week Lizzie returned to her father roof with the announcement that Hall hs l deserted her in the same manner in whic he had deserted his frat wife. II Thomas O'Brien, Lzze's father, is l coaehman for 0. T. Hemingway of Fla
 Haven. He Is an honest, hard workir man, and by industry and thrift he h.
 saved enough to purchase home for hin . self.
 He has always been found honest ar . faithful by ell who dealt with or employe t him. His daughters troubles and wa :. wardness have been source of great go 8 ! row to him.
