HIS DIVORCE IRREGULAR
Mr.. Bagaley says he discovered soon after
his arrival in this country that his divorce
from his first wife was Irregular and
proposed 10 have new marriage ceremony
after proper legal steps so as to protect
the name OF their children. This he could
not get done. Mrs. Williams, he says,
has exerted herself on every occasion to
prevent a reconciliation. She has shown
great vindictiveness.
Up to June 10 last his children were
allowed to visit him almost daily, and on
Sunday went to mass with him. On that
date he received a letter from his daughter
Lizzie saying they could not visit him
any more. and from that time he has nos
seen them.
Last summer his wife moved with his
aunt from this city TO Gaithersburg. Nd,
beyond the Jurisdiction of this court. She
thus took all their furniture, jewelry,
&C., out Of his reach. There, on October 25,
he charges, she gave birth to q child, which
it is impossible should be bis. He, there
fore, charges her with adultery, and asks
that he be given a divorce and custody of
the three children, Elizabeth, Olga and
John.
Mr.. Bagaley, in spite of his severe ex-
perience, Is still a handsome, well -iu-
formed and interesting man on the sunny
side of forty. His wife is beautiful and
vivaclous daughter of the sunny skies Of
Italy, ten years younger. He believes a
reconciliation could be made but for his
aunt's Interference.
