while the Girl Goes to Jail on a
Charee of Perjury and Forgery-A
Sad Case of Mans InhdeIity.
A singular case-which illustrates the
failure which sometimes accompanies
married life, and In which the ihiidelity
Of husband, and the. shame Of young
won an, were prominent factors, was
tried before Magistrate DAILY last even
ing The defendant was Everett
Ksndle, and be was srralgued on q
charge Of bigsmy, Adolphus Way being
the complainant on behalf of his
daughter, Anetta, who he claimed was
married to HANDLE, his first wife being
alive
Mrs Everett HANDLE, wife No 1, was
the frst witness. She is a comely young
woman and swore that she was married
10 her husband In August, 1890, In
Camden, n J by Rev W. II Burreil
Since then she has lackel support from
her husband, and at one time was forced
to have him arrested for assault. She
had long been aware that her husband
was untrue bat lived with him for her
childrens sake. After they had been
married about y.Lf the marriage
certificate was destroyed by her husband,
but she had q duplicsto which che
showed.
Then Anetta, alleged wife Nc. 2, swors
she was married 70 Everett Handle In
Camden, July 4, 1894, by Rev. w h
Burrell He had kept company with her
for some time before the marriage and
she had had child by him, which after
wards died
Then came the shameful part OF the
story Kgndle WAS put on the stard He
acknowledged having spent considerable
time with Anetta and that he Was the
father Of her child, but he denied ever
having married her. he said the certih
cate was forgery, cOn9octed By the girl
and Mary Way, her mother, who
bought the document with money given
by him, and Anetts filed in the name Of
the minister He said this was done to
deceive her father, who was making q
demand that he marry Anetta.
Anstia was then recalled and broke
down completely and told how tbs
mother had purchased the certificate
and she, Anetta filled it ont She gav'
a specimen OF her hand writing and II
corresponded with that on the
certificate The mother denied this
story and insisted that the two were
| legally married
Kandle could not be held on thil
testimony and Magistrate Daley wal
forced 10 discharge hin, with a deserved
reprimand, which should cause hin
many uI pleasant interviews with biz
