THE WIDOWS SHARE.
Supreme Court Decides in Favor Of
Mrs. George H. Newman.

SAN FRANCISCO. June George
H. Newman, aged 10. in 1856 married
girl of 16. A few months afterward
Newman came to California. The wife
remained. Although letters passed be-
tween them and money was sent by
Newman to his wife. in 1864 she went
through a form of marriage with one
CoIburn, and a daughter was born to
her in 1866.
In 1888 Mrs. Newman. learning that
her husband was still alive, wrote to
him, and correspondence between them
followed. Newman died intestate in
Contra Costa County in 1891 His
widow, whose consort (Colburn) had
died in the meantime and upon whose
property the State of New Hampshire
permitted her to probate, as the widow,
applied for letters of administration
upon the estate, and they We're granted
to her. From this an appeal was taken.
The Supreme Court affirmed the order
The opinion of the court goes into
the matter at length. and in plain terms
speaks of the acts of the woman and
her bigamous marriage. 1t says that
there is no law of the State that will
take away her right of succession so
long as there has been no divorce and
there was no desertion by her hus-
band. 1t says that after the death of
the bigamous spouse she resumed her
relations with Newman. and was en-
titled to her Widows share.
