He Is Caught in Bridgeport on
Eve Of Marrying Twice
As Mr.. Green.

On May &c last warrant was issued
from Prosecuting Attorneys Office for
the arrest of one Abraham Galdberg on
complaint of Mrs. George Green" who
charged him with bigamy, and also with
assault upon her two children, aged
eight and eleven, respectively, and a
twelve yeare-old cousin, in Brooklyn.
Mrs. Green" said that as widow, she
married Goldberg, who was supposed to
be George Green, in Brooklyn two years
ago. After the marriage she says he
skipped out with $500 belonging to her,
after assaulting the children. She said
she learned that he married girl since
in this city-ai Miss Lena Ginsburg. The
wedding it is said occurred on November
2, 1902. Mrs. Green came over to Jer-
sey City and found the Ginsburg woman,
who said she had been deserted after
marriage by Goldberg. Each produced
photographs of the man and decided the
photographs were those of the same man.
The warrant for the arrest of Goldberg
was placed in the hands Of the Detective
Dan Lee who learned that supposed big
amist was in Bridgeport, Conn, and was
conducting brokerage business there,
under the name of George Green, Lee
went to Bridgeport and produced the
warrant for Goldberg's arrest. The ar
rest caused commotion. He is held to
await extradition.
Lee learned that Goldberg Cor Green}
was to have married yesterday, one Fam
ME Seattle, who conducts general store
in Bridgeport, and that he had promised
to marry one Mary Seeger, who conducts
store there in the West End. Each
one, it appears, was told by Goldberg to
sell out and go on wedding trip, after
which he would go into the brokerage
business on large scale.
