Carlton is now confronted with a living
wife, who not only accuses him of
bigamy, but swears he tried TO poison
her after marrying her long ago under

sert;ng her.
The new witness, who furnishes one

about the alleged poisoner, bigamist,
and all-round criminal, is Miss Will
meta Sherwood Bird.
Miss Bird went 10 the Raymond street
jail ana positively Identified Carlton
She was fortified with a marriage Ger
tilicate, which proved beyond doubt the
truth of her assertions. She picked
Carlton out OF a long line of men, and
in the presence OF Il score of detectives
and prison officers. charged him with
having twice tried to poison her before
he left her shortly after the honey
moon

Miss Bird even went so far as to tell
the officials the name of the doctor by
whom the poisonous powders she says
Carlton tried to give her were analyzvd
but his identity is guarded by the police
department.
