ALEXANDRIA, Va, November Is, 1891.
| c. w. Wilkinson was arrested by Officer
Atkinson yesterday afternoon. charged
with living in adultery with the daughter
of Mrs. Jessie Robinson in house on
Lower Prince street. The arrest was the
result of a complaint of Wilkinsons wife,
| who came here from Forestville, Md, yes
| terday. and asked the authorities to locate
her husband for her.
The case was called in the police court
| this morning. and the officer making the
| arrest told what he knew of the affair the
| developments being of a shocking char
| acter. Wife No. 2, it is said confessed
| that she had not been married to Wilkin-
sen, but admitted that the baby found
at the house by the officer was hers.
and stated that Wilkinson was it's father
| Mrs. Wilkinson No. 1 left for her home
| in Forestvile, Md, yesterday afternoon
| and did not testify in court against her
husband: Overseer of the Poor Shoch
| stated Wilkinson and the Robinson woman
had been charge on the city for the past
| several months.
In summing up the case. Mayor Simpson
| said the parties implicated were so thor
oughly ignorant of its gravity that he
hardly thought moralizing would be of
benefit. He thought it best to separate
|
house for thirty days under the vagrant
act, and ordered that Mrs. Robinson and
her daughter return at once to their home
| in Maryland or suffer penalty.
1t will be remembered that Mr. A. NJ.
Robinson of Montgomery county, Mary
| land, came TO this city Sunday in search of
his mother and sister, and they were locat-
ed for him by Sergt. Smith. They promised
| the son that they would return home. Mrs.
| Robinson, it appears, left her home some
| months ago without the consent of her
| husband.
Wilkinson at one time worked on the
| farm of Mr. Robinson, and it was there
| that the intimacy with the daughter is
said to have commenced. The Robinson
| girl was grief-stricken when her lover was
sentenced to the work house. The mayor
| gave orders that the woman should not be
allowed to see Wilkinson at the work house
