PRINCE OF BIGAMISTs.
Albert Kneeland, of st. Louis, De-
M ceives Many Women.
Intimates That He Has Ten wives,
9 But May Have Twenty-FIve-sev-
A. erai PrisonTerms Fail to Check
:" 20 His Polygamous Career.

With ten living wives to his credit
Albert Kneeland still smiles on the
women who visit him in Jail at ST
Louis, Mo. He would marry again if
he had the opportunity. Kneeland is
in Jail on the charge of bigamy and is
almost certain to get a five-year sem
tence to the penitentiary. He has been
q bigamist many years and has already
served two terms in prison for marry
gone at Joliet, ILL.,, and the other
at Lansing, Kan. The prisoner init
mates that he has more than ten wives
and that the officers have not found
all of them yet. The ten he married
under his. right name. How many he
married under other names may never
be known. rr,r s..1s s -, fs
A homelier man than Kneeland could
not be found in a years search, but he
has always been popular with women.
He has large, pleading eyes and his
occupation, that of an artist, appeals
at once to their fancy. In many of his
courtships he represented that he had
immense wealth and had assumed the
guise of wandering artist for the
sole purpose of finding wife who
would not marry him for his money
alone. Kneeland's brother, H. II. Knee
land, a lawyer at Columbus, o., says
the prisoner is insane on the subject
of matrimony and that his insanity is,
due to a fall he received in his youth,
when his skull was fractured at the
frontal bone, just above the eyes.
Kneeland's first marriage was with
Elizabeth Clark at Columbus, o., and
their two children are still living. Their
daughter is married and his first wife
is still living. When the children were
small Kneeland wandered away and
began a career as a bigamist that may
vet prove him to be the star of the
country in that line, for it is believed
that he has no less than 25 living wives.
He married another woman in Ohio and

married so many times, and has nban-
doned so many Of his wives that he does
not know the number of his children.
It's also believed that he has forgotten
how many women he has married dur
ing the past 20 years. He has init
mated that the officers do not know the
location of more than half his wives.
An.unknownwoman came Il ST. Louis
a few days ago and visited the Jail.
She asked to see KneeFand. and was
asked her business,with him. II think

sar this fall, clad in her smartest gown,
and ready for any number of Greek
verbs, who shall say that she is not a
fine girl.
Her name is Miss Lu Verne Hall. 1t
sounds romantic, but Miss Hall is very
practical young woman.
She is one of the very cleverest girls
graduated from the East Denver high
school last fall.
On the day Of her graduation Miss
Hall determined to finish up at Vassar.
But she had no money. This did not
affect her resolution in the slightest.
She secured work as reporter on a
Denver newspaper, but this was not
half so profitable as backing boots, and
Miss Hall soon found it out. She estab-
lshed bootblacking stand for women
on one of the principal streets.
Several young men offered, their serv-
ices. Their offers were rejected with
scorn. They even offered to black
shoes for nothing. but so far Miss Hall
has lived up to her resolution to pad
die her own canoe. Her business has
enlarged to such an extent that a girl
friend is acting as cashier, and half a
dozen boys assist as bootblacks. When
trade is lively both the manager and
cashier take hand.

then went to Iowa, where he married
two.
Only one of Kneeland's marriages was
a failure from his standpoint, and that
was the second one in Ohio. He mar
ried Mrs. Julia Brown, an English
woman and widow. He took her to
illinois with him and they lived awhile
at Peoria. She was stronger than
Kneeland and whipped him many times,
using a stick of stovewood when there
was no other weapon within convenient
reach. That was the only experience
of the kind he had in his various eNpe-
riences with his wives.
: In his wanderings Kneeland met and
married Miss 0rma Hull, of st. Louis.
She was attending a seminary at Lex
ington, NO., when he married her and
she was abandoned, as all the others had
been, in short time. The ST. Louis
wife was different from all the others,
however, for she followed the bigamist
and had him sent to the penitentiary
twice. She caused his arrest again
when he was found few weeks ago lfv-
ing with a new wife at Las Vegas, N. NJ,
and will prosecute him in the criminal
courts there next month. 1t was Mrs.
0rma Kneeland who caused the biga-
mist to geta divorce from his first wife,
and then married him again, so that she
is now his only legal wife. They have
one child.
The wanderings of the travelling art
list led him TO Kansas, where he married
Miss Sadie Davis. Orma Kneeland fol-
lowed him there, and he was sent to the
penftentiary. He has married two
women in Ohio, two in Illinois, two in
Iowa, three in Missouri and one in Kan
sas He has been in nearly every state
in the union since he abandoned his
first wife, and it was believed that he
was married several times in Nebraska,
Kentucky and Texas.
Five of Kneeland's wives will attend
the trial at st. Louis and others may
come. Every mail brings letters to
tho prosecuting attorney with requests
for pictures of Kneeland from women
who believe they were married TO him
some time in the past His last mar
rage was with Miss Hattie Moon, of st,
Louis.
The number of Kueeland's children
is matter Of considerable Speculation

dent Saturday night near Easly's, s. G.
He was coming out of a curve near the
water tank at that place. AS his engine
got on the straight line, he put his head
out Of the cab window and looked back
to see if the caboose was all right. While
looking back, he was struck on the back
Of the head by the lever or chain of the
wafer tank, and his skull cracked for
five inches. He was unconscious from
the moment he received the lick until
yesterday afternoon, when the pressure
was gotten off the brain. Fireman
Jonah Curle was in the cab with Mr..
Roberts. He notified the conductor,
Capt Frank Falls. Mr. Roberts was
taken to Easly's. and a physician sum-
moned After the pressure was taken
off the brain yesterday he regained con-
sciousness He had no recollection of
being hit on the head. As the tissue of
the brain was not hurt, he will recover.

1t Cured Her.

A well-known Louisville woman was i'll,
and her physician pronounced her in a
critical condition. Among the sympathetic
neighbors was pretty widow who was
lavish in her expressions of sympathy for
the husband and children. And it came to
pass that she began to sympathize with
them to such an extent that she spent most
of her time at the house. When the wife
was thought to be sinking and the family
were beginning to fear the worst, the
widow walked up to the husband and said:
"Ah, how | pity you, Mr.. -, and these
dear children. 1t will be awful if they are
to be reared up without a mother to care
for them" At this injunction the wife,
with mighty effort, raised up in her bed
with the words: 'Oh, you needn't be wor.
ried; am not going to die. No, | will not
die, and can get along very well without
your assistance in the future" From that
time the woman rallied, and is now hale
and hearty.-Louisville Dispatch.
