ALSO ACCUSED OF BIGAMY
Married San Francisco Girl After Few
Days Acquaintanee-Legal Wife and
Friends Say He's Demented.

Although the case has not yet reached
the War Department officially. it is be-
lieved that Lieut.. William X. McCue.
First Infantry. will be tried by court.

duty without leave. The matter is in
the hands OF Major General Chaffee, In
command Of the Department OF the Fast,
and he will take the necessary action
Lieutenant McCue is under arrest in
Chicago and will probably be sent 10
Fort Porter, n. Y. to which post he was
ordered upon his arrival al San Fran
cisco several weeks ago from the Phil
ippines.
1t is alleged that Lieutenant McCue
has been on a protraeted spree since he
arrived In San Francisco in the early
part OF June. and that he was married
in that city on June 16 to Violet Beatrice
Simon. whom he had never seen until
four days after he returned 10 this
country from the Philippines Mrs. Ida
McCue. OF Cincinnati, asserts that she
is the legal wife OF the officer. and has
reported 10 the War Department that
her husband has contracted a bigamous
marriage. She expresses the belief that
her husband is mentally deranged.
Lieutenant McCue was due at Fort
Porter on June 49, but did not report
there. Instead. he remained in San Fran.
cisco. and upon representation chat he
could not remain longer on the Coast.
Miss Simon's father consented 20 allow
him 10 marry his daughter despite their
brief acquaintance. Their affair is said
10 have been a case of love at frs: SIGHT

TO his new post of duty. Immediately
after the marriage. Lieutenant McCue
and his new wife went TO Chicago. where
they remained week and contracted a

Lieutenant McCue left his wife here
and told her he was going to the army
headquarters in that city 10 draw his
salary and obtain transportation 10 Fort
Porter. He did not return and shortly
thereafter was arrested The young wo-
man is reported to be PROSTATE and pen

The first steps taken by the War De-
partment will probably be 10 investigate
the cause of HIS absence from duty with
out leave. and thereafter he may be
turned over TO the civil authorities for
prosecution on the charge Of bigamy ~
the accusation is found to be sustained
by the facts.
Lieutenant McCue has a good record

suffering from mental disorder when he
neglected his duty. disobeyed orders and
contracted second marriage. He en-
