THEY we're SISTERS.
Arnold Did Not Have a Brother,
SO He Married Them Both.
One by common-Law Process, the
Other by Legal Ceremony.
All Three Lived Together, but He Is
Jailed at Last.

Justice steers, in the Lee Avenue Court,
Williamsburg, to-day, held George Ar
n1ld of 25s Ellery street. on a charge of
falling to support his wife. The evidence
in the case showed that all concerned
were most remarkably depraved.
Arnold Is u bayman, and three years
ago he met Annie Stencon in Williams
burg. and took her back to Hammels
Station, Rockaway Beach, where they
lived together as man and wife.
Last Summer Maggie Stencon. who Is
twenty years old, three years younger
than her sister Annie. was invited to
spend the Summer at Rockaway. She
enjoyed the bracing air and the sea
baths. and in addition fell in love with
the man she regarded as her brother-in-
law.
Arnold became infa suated with the girl.

was compelled to drop INTO second place.
The wedding occurred on Dec. 9 last,
Arnold had decided that he loved his
first choice the best. There was a wran-
gle over the matter, but Arnold settled
1t by providing a home for his wife Mag
gle with his mother in Jersey City while
he continued to live with the other
woman.

mother" explained Maggie Arnold this
morning. she half-starved me and call

He took me to rooms at 258 Eliery
street, and despite my objections, Annie
still lived with us. George got to quar-
relling with us in turn. One night he
would turn Annie out OF the house, and
may be the next night would be put out.
We would always return, though, for we
had no other place to go.
Last Wednesday he beat Annie so
badly that she has been laid up ever
since, and the same night he turned me
out OF doors again. That was why l got

The woman told her story calmly, and

the husband, is roush-looking, I'M
couth individual and it is II mystery
how the two women ever fell in love
with him. When officer Short. of the
Charities Department, arrested him, he
remarked with profane embellishments
that he was sorry he had ever met the
Stencon girls. as they had nearly driven
him crazy.
