ACCUSED OF BlGAMY.
An Alleged Terra Allan Arrested in
HagerStOWn.

A telegram to the daily press
dated at Hagerstown, November
18th, says that Robert c. Bron-
son, who alleges that he was for
fifteen years connected with the
United States Secret Service, was
arrested here on the charge of
bigamy, the warrant for his arrest
having been sent here from Eliza
beth, w. Va. Sheriff Niece, of
Elizabeth, arrived here this after
noon, and Bronson agreed to &C
company him with out requisition
papers.
Bronson is alleged to have a
wife and several children living in
Virginia. About six weeks ago
he married Miss Emma Fought,
who is a teacher in a business col
lege here. Their wedding took
place at Terra Alta, W. Va. Since
their marriage they have lived
there.
Bronson, who is about 40 years
old and quite handsome, denies
the charge. His explanation is
that while he was in the Secret
Service he was forced at various
times to go under an assumed
name; that on one occasion he as
sumed the name of H. C. Mason,
but that he is not the H. G.
Mason who married the Virginia
woman. "
H. G. Mason, of Terra Alta, is
well known to many Garrett coun-
ty people, having for two or three
years past travelled this county
selling harvesting machinery and
other farm implements. The last
heard from Mason by his family at
Terra Alta was one day last week
when he was seen at Grafton by
an acquaintance who stated that
he was then on his way to the
Pacific Coast where he proposed
to reside in the future. His wife
and children are still at Terra
Alta.
