TWO LEGAL WIVES LIVING.
MATRIMONIAL. TANGLE OF GEORGE X GATES
AND HIS CONSORTS.

u,rp1NoxtAI. TANGLE OF GEORGE X. GATES
AND HIS CoNsoRTs.
Judge Dugro, in the Special Term OF the superior
Court was yesterday called upon 10 uhraNel
much-compncated matrimonial tangle. In which II
anrAars that a man may at one time have TWO
legal wives living \ peculiar feature OF the case
was that each woman while claiming the same
husband wanted 10 be freed from him. The story
came out In an application made yesterday by Ahce
$ Gates TO have her marriage with George N
Gates declared invalid. In her complaint MIS-
Gates alleges that she married to the Defendant
on August % 1890 and did not learn until 1884 that
she had been deceived and had married man VINO
had another wife living. from whom he had never
been divorced Upon learning this. Mrs Gates
says. she left the defendant, and asked that her
marriage with him be declared void
In mis- answer drawn by j. A. McCray. OF NO l5'
East One hundred d-tweny sixth-st, Gates does
not den, that he had another wife living at the
time he married the plaintiff. but says he thought
that his first wife. Mrs. Annie Dudley Gates. was
