bigamy for having once entered into a
second marriage was null and
void alb initio or from the beginning.
1t is maintained that If the contentious
OF the prosecution are true Isaac was
never married to Mrs. Bishop, and
therefore a third party cannot come
into court and complain of that mar
risge which never had any existence
in law. If Mrs. Bishop had lived
she could have com planned of the pre-
vious marriage, but subsequent wife
could not call Isaac to account for the
Bishop marriage, for it never existed,
neither could she complain OF the Nc
Kenzie marriage, for it was abrogated
and annulled long before the last mar
rage ceremony was performed.
The attorneys cite number OF legal
authorities in support of this posi-
ton.
Judge Walthall today granted Mrs.
Lucy Kneeland Isaac a divorce from
r. B. Isaac and the right to resume
her maiden pame. The petition
alleged as grounds for the divorce
tt at Isaac had unknown to the plain
tiff another living wife at the time Of
the marriage, and cruel treatment.
The divorce was granted only on the
last named ground,

NOT LEGALLY BIGAMIST
Isaac Denies the Allegations OF the
Prosecution But Says That Even
If They Are True He Is Not
Guilty Of BiQdmy.

AS was publish ed Ia yesterdays
HERALD r. B. Isaac was before Judge
Walthall on an application for q writ
of habeas corpus and his bond was fixed
at $500.
Isaac makes a defence on techni cal
grounds. 1t Is alleged that he married
a Mrs. Mckenzie in Los Angeles in
1894 and In 1898 Mrs. Rachel Bishop in
the same place. This was before Mrs.
McKet zie secured divorce which she
however did in Albuquerque, N. NJ,
afterwards. Mrs. Bishop Is now dead.
Isaac denied all these allee ations, but
his attorneys, Patterson and Wallace,
m al tanned tt at even If they are true,
be is not legally q bigamist
This theory is based on the principle
that person cannot be convicted of

DIR. w. Seward Webb. who is closely
allied with the Vanderbilts and New York

the report that the Vanderbilt interests
and the New York Central were trying TO
secure the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford. He said: 81 know absolutely nothing
about such a proposition DR.. Webb is a
director of the Fitchburg Railroad. He was
asked about the proposed lease of that
road to the Boston * Maine. He said the
matter will not be decided until next Tues
day when the directors will meet. Il think
1t very uncertain what action the directors
will take" he added. For my own part,
1 think it's a pretty good thing to have an
independent line in New England. l find the
Fitchburg in pretty good shape, and, as l
say, i do not know why it would not be a
pretty good thing to have an independent
line in this section

WILLFUL KILLING ALLEGED
In the Damage Suit of Mrs. Phoebe
Hart Against the Big Four.

The damage suit of Mrs. Phoebe Hart,
Administrative of the estate of her hus-
band, Oliver s. Hart, against the Big Four
Railway Company, went to trial in the SUI
perior Court yesterday. Oliver s. Hart, who
was a veteran soldier, was killed at the
Shelby-street crossing of the Big Four on
the evening of Oct. 8. 1897 Two trains
passed about the time the accident is sup
posed to have occurred. One was freight
train, which it is claimed was running
at a good rate of speed. The freight was
followed by a train of eight or nine empty
passenger coaches. 1t is claimed this train
was running at the rate of thirty miles
an hour. Hart was found lying under the
second coach when the train stopped, with
his head and an arm cut off. G.. w. Gal
vim, who brought suit, charged willful kill
ing. He brought suit on the theory that
1T the freight train which killed Hart
but after hearing the testimony of the men
in charge of the freight, he concluded that
Hart was killed by the passenger train.
The engineer of the freight train testified
that he felt no jar of the train at the Shell
by street crossing, and that if his train
Filled Hart he did not know IL. The crew
of the passenger train has not yet testified.
Yesterday evening the attorneys for the
railroad company asked the court to in
struct the jury to find for them on the
ground that the plaintiffs attorney had
failed to make out case of willful killing.
Judge Carter heard argument on this point.

In Room 3, Superior Court, Margaret
Collins was yesterday granted a divorce
from Thomas E. Collins. The latter is a
druggist of this city. He and the plaintiff
were married in 1889. Mrs. Collins charged
that her husband called her names cursed
her in the presence of company and became
offended at trivial matters to the extent
that he would refuse to speak to her for
four or five weeks at a time.
Some time ago Collins filed a cross-com-
plant against his wife in which he made
serious charges against her. He declared
that she was cold and Indifferent toward
him and any kindness or affection shown
her was unappreciated He said she called
him "a d red-faced Irishman'' on one
occasion. He charged that when she was
that he be not invited. He further charged
that his wife once threatened to shoot
him because he declined to give her 500
to pay off a claim against a piece of prop
erty owned by her, and at another time
threw a fork at him because he refused to
him to give her 1000 to purchase property
for them and after buying 1t had the title
vested in her own name.
Collins's attorney withdrew his cross
no defense was made. The attorney says
the charges in the cross-complaint are true
and that ii was withdrawn so that Mrs.
Collins could get divorce. The attorney
says she could not have got a divorce had
his client chosen to fight the case. Collins.
he says, knew If the cross-complaint was
introduced there would be a long and sem
sational trial and he did not want this.
1t is understood that the parties to the
suit made settlement out Of court.
