Madison, Wis, March 17.-Dr. George B.
Gregory. formerly of Paw Paw, Mich. was
arrested here yesterday afternoon at the.
request of Sheriff ). III. Britton of Paw:
Paw, who has a warrant charging him
with perjury. The sheriff is expected to

pers, but DR.. Gregory will not go back
without a struggle. and Immediately after
his arrest secured the services Of ex-Attor-
hey General C.*E.: Buell. to resist the
requisitipn.
The charge according to the doctor s
story, grows out sof a curious combina-
tion Of circumstances more or less TO
mantle A year or SO ago he was practic-
ing medicine at Paw Paw. Deciding To-
change his location, he went to another
town about twelve miles distant, leaving
his family at Paw Paw until he could get
his practice fully established. One of his
patients was young" lady, said to be
highly connected, with whom he became
so. much infatuated that he secured a
divorce from his wife and married his
later love, last March. as
He had lived with her but two months
when he discovered; SO he states. that she
was receiving the attentions of other men,
and finally found her in a most com
promising situation. Thereupon he OBJ
tanned a divorce from her, and a.: little
later, in October last, Remarked his
former wife. Determining to leave the
scene of this unpleasant episode, the re-
united couple, with their two children a
boy about and another about 2 years
old, came to Madison about two months
ago to make their home, the doctor taking
