from the baggage room, ran from there
up to the rooms he had rented and was
occupying. They followed them and
found Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac in their rooms.
Then all walked together to the hotel
in a little adobe building. There, to
Mr.. Jenkins's questioning, Isaac first
denied that be had ever been married
at all before, and when asked about
Mrs. Mckenzie, said that he had
heard of her, but asked to be allowed
to talk with Mrs. Isaac privately. This
was refused, and he said then that he
had been married, and to Mrs. McKen-
zie, but that he had been divorced.
He denied any other marriage.
Jenkins then asked him to return to
Thereupon, in the presence of Isaac
and the three ladies, the warrant
charging him with bigsmy was read to
Isaac, and he was placed under arrest.
HOW JENKINS NET BLUFF
During the day man named Car
ruthers, owner of the house In which
Isaac roomed, demanded of jenkins hi
authority for making the arrest, and
said that he should net be aIlowsaa-4v6 g
take his prisoner to Eli Paso until he
| gave some evidence that he would be
protected. Mr.. Jenkins promptly de-
putized another man, and told Car
| ruthers and his friends that he intend
ed bringing Isaac here, and he did.
At one time Mr.. Jenkins asked
Isaac what he had done with certain
sum of money that Mrs. Isaac had
drawn from the bank and given to him.
This was in the presence of Mrs. Knee
land and Mrs. Isaac, and Isaac re-
piled in such an insulting way, direct
ing his answer to them, that Mr.. Jen-
kins knocked him down.
No one had, up to $50, offered to
furnish bond for Isaac, though Judge
Spencer said that he would let him
out on bond if proper security were
furnished. Mr.. Martin, superintend-
ent eff the G. H., denied this morning
that he had any intention of going on
Isaac's bond, as had been reported.
The grand jury met this afternoon
at 2 o'clock to consider the Isaac case.
Ben Jenkins, who made the arrest,
and O. w. Mckenzie, Issac's stepson,
who swore out the complaint, have,
it is understood, been summoned be-
fore them.
Chief of Police Lockart has tele-
graphed to Los Angeles and other
points for information as to Isaac's
past career but at o'clock he stated
to HERALD reporter that no reply
had been received.
1t is understood that Mrs. Isaac
stated to some friends today that she
nQ, longer trusts the man she married.
WHAT CALIFORNIA RECORDS SHOW
The most important actual news in
the case is coz tanned in a telegram re-
ceived by Superintendent Martin.
YES, 1 received telegram from
California last night,'' said Mr.. Mar
tin this afternoon, s'snd in it the state
ment was made that the records sho W
that Isaac had been married twice, and
legally divorced twice. Iwens to tn e
jail this morning, and saw the young
man, and he confirmed this statement.
He said nothing to me about bond.
My impression is that he is innocent of
the charge, and 1hat his people are
sending on, or will send, documents ry
evidence to prove it,
ISAAC INDICTED
The grand jury this afternoon at
$40 returned true BILL indicting r.
B. Isaac on a charge of bigamy.
G. w. Mckenzie went to the Jail to
identify Isaac, and Isaac stared at
him, stiff as a statue, without saying
q word.
"We1," said Mckenzie, ''we are
evening up matters now, Dick.''
But Isaac offered no reply.
Neither Mrs. Isaac nor any of her
family has been to the Jail today.
