that it would not show to the other.
Our columns are open to both so far as
our time and capacity will admit, and
we have the highest regard for both of
the churches and the individual men,

a courtesy to one organization that we

BEN TITUS

OF BIGAMY
Woman Says Mu-

DENVER, May 12-Lydia Yeamans-
Titus, the vaudeville star of the Or
pheum circuit, is not the legal wife OF
Benjamin f. Titus, also of the stage,
and the latter has committed bigamy
four times, if the story told by wom-
an who claims to be the original Mrs
Titus is true. 1t is a story of whole
sale bigamy she relates, preparatory to
contesting Titus divorce suit, filed here
a few days ago against her.
Titus filed suit for divorce in the
District Court here last Saturday, al
leging desertion and bigamy. To-day
a woman claiming to be the original
Mrs. Titus appeared. She called on the
attorney appointed to defend her when
she was supposed to be in the East,
and said:
Twenty-Five years ago ] was mar
ried to Benjamin Titus. About a year
after the marriage he deserted me and
went to Wales and went through the
ceremony of marrying another woman.
After he had lived with her for
some time he deserted her, leav-
ing her with two children to
support, and, coming back to Amer
lea, formed two more matrimonial al
liances, deserting both women after he
tired of them. Then / lost sight of him
for fifteen years. AT the end of that
time l thought he must be dead and
so / married Daniel Sprague. But I
seemed doomed to disaster In the line of
matrimony, for Mr.. Sprague deserted
me and went East Now hear that he
has married another woman, not tell
ing her that he has never got a di-
vorce from me- But / guess my time
for getting even has come and I'm GO
ing in for my revenge"
Her attorney, o. N. Hilton, said:
This case certainly involves bigamy
enough. Titus not only commits big
amy himself, but causes five women to
do the same, If this story is true. for
Lydia Yeamans-Titus, with whom he
now lives, supposed herself to be the
only wife he ever had Sprague, after
marrying Mrs Titus, deserts her and
poses as a single man before another
woman, who accepts his attentions and
