HELD FOR BIGAMY.
Ex-JudGe Thomas J. MacISey of South
Carolina in Trouble.

Carolina in Trouble.
Philadelphia, Sept 21.-Thomas ]. Mack
ey, who is said to be an ex-judge of the
Circuit Court of South Carolina, was ar
rested in this city to-day on the charge of
bigamy.
According TO Mackey's story, he is the
victim of persecution. He has nearly
reached the four-score mark, but the wo-
is but % years of age. Her name was
Bertha Porterfield, and until her marriage
to the judge she lived with her parents,
Charleston, w. Va. They We're married
about month ago at the girls home, and
from there went to New York.
While in that city she claims to have
learned that her husband had another
wife. He is said to have explained that
he was married in 1891, but several months
later his wife told him that she had an
other husband, and the judge left her.
He did not see her again, he is said to
have declared, until his visit to New York,
and there, upon learning of his second
marriage, she threatened him. with arrest.
For a time he pacified the fears of wife
No. 2 by declaring that he would have
the first marriage annulled, as 1t had
never been legal. But the status of af-
fairs soon reached the ears of the girl S
parents, and a warrant was at once issued
for Mackeys arrest. He was arraigned
before Magistrate Jermon late in the af-
ternoon.
The hearing was postponed pending fur
Their investigation by the police.

on Montgomery street.

An attempt was made to burn build
ing belonging to Mrs. Mary j. Walsh, at
Jones and Montgomery streets, about
o'clock yesterday morning. as was APP
parent from the circumstances on investl-
cation developed
Policeman Atkinson was a block or two
away. when he heard a loud explosion.
He went hurredly In the direction from
which the sound came, and, on approach
ing the Walsh building. he saw an IN
usually bright light. on reaching the
place, it was found the interior of the
living apartments on the first floor was
in flames. There was no fire In the store,
which is partitoned off In the corner.
An alarm was turned In from box 80.
at Charlton and jefferson streets, which
brought out the Central station ana En-
CINE Company No. 4. The doors were
broken, and, as the fire had not gotten
beyond control. It was quickly extin-
guished.
Chief McDermott lives In the vicinity
and on being awakened, went to the fire
BY this time some suspicious evidences
had been discovered in the shape of oil
saturated bits of cotton. This looked bad
for somebody and an investigation was
begun to connect the evidences of tncen-
diary work
That part of the building where the fire
originated was thoroughly examined. In
several different places pieces Of cotton
saturated with kerosene were found, which
satisfied Chief McDermott the fire was
incendiary. The pieces were collected. and
were found to resemble a lot of cotton left
in barrel in the back yard, The sat
urated pieces were in different places, but
it seems only those near the entrance
We're fired
Chief McDermott Is not puzzled about
the case. His mind Is decided that the
place was set on fire, but further than
that he does not wish to talk. He said
he found there was but one way to get

| Fire Chief Mcguire also believes the
house was fired by an incendlary. It looked
suspicious from the start, he said, and
when the saturated cotton was discovered,

bonneville, Ga, Sept. 19.-Editor Sayan-
nah Morning News In an extemporane-
Gus speech which I delivered at Douglas
in Coffee county, Sept. 5. 1 addressed to
the Populists who CHANGED to be pres
ent the following language, in substance:
you have claimed on every stump and
at every firesde that free silver was the
main thing that would relieve the poor.
and that you were Populists to get free
silver.
NOW your leaders want you to support
man for Congress who has said over
his own signature that he preferred to
see negroes in office to free silver.
1T cannot be denied and l can produce
the letter at any time"
From this statement of mine Mr.. G. w
Deming, correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution. who CHANGED to be present,
published a short extract, which was sub
stantially the language above quoted.
In your daily issue of Sept. IS 1 notice
the following language sent in by your
Douglas correspondent:
He (WilkinsOn) said in reply to Mr..
Dickineon's statement, made here on Sent
ter in which he stated that he had rather
see negroes in Office that white silver Dem
ocrats,' that 1t was false, and that he
would have that letter printed in hand
bill form, and distributed throughout the
district and the people could see what il
contained This denial was made by Mr.
Wilkinson at Douglas on Sept H.
AS Col. Wilkinson has seen fit to deny
that he ever wrote letter in which he
stated that he had rather see negroes in
office than to see free silver prevail,
quote as follows from the letter, which
was published In the Valdosta Times Aug
3, 1897 and the Atlanta Constitution Sept
Is, 1893
In one paragraph of his letter he says.
We prefer the Dingley BILL with some
colored men Ia Office, TO free silver, free
lumber, free wool and free rice of Bryan.
ism"
About the only difference between the
above language and what 1 said at Doug
las Is that / said negroes" where he said
"colored men" / presume, however, we
both mean persons colored black.
In another paragraph he says
Thanks, gentlemen humble riding on
the Republican band wagon with Lyons
Rucker and other good colored men il
better than poor walking with Commander
Debs, Gen Coxey and Coin Harvey"
But the whole letter has been published
The letter was also published In the Ma.
con Telegraph in August, 1897, and II he
did not write II, why have done him
an unintentional wrong. But / read the
letter when II was first published, and ]
have never seen a denial I'LL / heard OF
