WEEKS IS FREE TO
CO WITH HIS WIFE.
Defendant In Alleged Dual
Marriage.
WAS DISCHARGED AT HEARING.
Recent Sensational Case in Americus
is Ended in the Release of tho De-
fendant-5ride and Groom Are Hap
py on the Way.

Happy on the way to again take up
the broken thread of their recently In
terrupted honeymoon, henry Weeks
and his fair bride of FIVE days left
Americas yesterday for Columbus, the
groom having been released from Jail
on the charge of bigamy,
Aud the reunion was indeed very
happy one for the couple.
When Judge Crisp rendered his de-
cision, discharging Weeks from ousto-
dy, his bride flew into his open arms,
as did his aged mother, who came to
attend the hearing.
And joy again reigns supreme in the
Weeks home circle.
1t will be remembered that Weeks
was arrested by the Americas police
on Tuesday, upoR instructions received
from Columbus, the charge of bigamy
being preferred against him. And
Weeks and his bride two days were
escorted to the police barra SKIS here.
The bride was released after a few
hours detention, while the unhappy
groom was sent to Jail upon state
warrant sworn out by Police Chief
Feagin, charging HIM with bigamy.
TWAS sudden termination of a ro-
mantle marriage. the ceremony occur
ring here Sunday.
While in prison here Mr.. Weeks
freely admitted having been married
before, but stated as freely that he had
good reason for thinking his first wife
dead. He said he had searched in
vain for her for a number OF years, and
supposed her dead.
And this statement was substantia~
ted at the trial yesterday,
A number of witnesses came from
Columbus to testify in the case, and
the testimony of these bore out the
statement made by Weeks.
This, in substance, was that he was
first married some time in January
1896, living with his wife year or two
when she wentawaywith married man.
ASNUOAS " GYMS 0AA bAC ObACl W4UAO6SOS
said, she was an inmate Of resort in
Columbus.
Weeks then joined the army, spend
ing several years in the Philippines
with his regiment.
Upon returning to Columbus he en-
ployed an attorney to procure divorce,
in the meantime again seeking to find
out the whereabouts of his wife. lu
this he failed entirely.
Both he and his attorney, Mr.. Dozi
er, made every effort to find her, but to
no purpose. Mr.. Dozier said upon the
stand yesterday that he had been in
formed by the womsn's family that
they had not heard from her in many
years, and believed she was dead.
This information, with other OF SINH
lar nature, induced Weeks to believe
the woman dead, having neither seen
her or heard of her in a long number
of years. Acting from this informa-
ton Weeks contracted second marri
age, that occurring here Sunday.
Upon the showing made Judge
Crisp would not, bind the defendant
over to the grand jury. The party left
at once for Columbus.

Insurance solicitors spot newly mar

The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-01-17

opened a weeks engagement at the Bi- jou theatre last night. The play is from the pen of Harry Clay Blaney, the au- thor of several melodrama successes, and tells an interesting story in which scenes of the church and the stage are blended. The action of the plot takes place in the office of a theatrical manager at the church and parsonage of the father of the heroine; on the stage of the Afnphion thatre; in the Green Room tavern ire quented by player folk; in the lobby of tie Amphion theatre and on the stage of the Amphion theatre, where play within a play Is presented.
 This unique environment affords op- portunities for scenic novelties that are unusual and of more than passing in- terest. The lives of actors is very faith- fully depicted and there Is a decided at mosphere of the stage all through the piece-not the stage that we usually see but the stage where men and women who treatd. the boards do not play their roles.
 The story isSthat of Viola Keith. the daughter of the Rev. Ebeneezer Keith. who falls in love with Julian. Lorraine, the leading man of the Amphfon Stock company The two are married but they are separated by their enemies Vincent Grant and Julia Clifford, who produce a forged marriage certificate by which they hope to prove Lorraine bigamist and get him out of the way. In order to shield her husband Viola declares that she Is not his wife but his mistress and some very strong scenes follow.
 The play Is well staged. It Is present. ed in four acts and eight scenes. A large company Is carried and the cast is as a whole quite capable. A novelty of the performance Is play within play, Her Hearts Idol" which is rehearsed on the stage of the Amphion theatre. Clever speeialties are introduced by George ovey, Louise Horner and her ''Six American Beauties and Baby Evylyn.
 There will be a matinee this afternoon and the usual performance tonight.

Ben Hur."

Ben Hur" is essentially a spectacle, a magnificent stage creation, conceived on an elaborate scale and successfully pre- sented at the Jefferson theatre last night From the time the curtain rose, dsclos- ing to view that marvellous scene wherein the three wise men of the east greet the Star of Bethlehem. to the closing scene where Ben Hur has his mother and sis ter restored to him at the foot of Mount Olivet. while the host sings, ''Hosannahi Hosannah! Hosannah in the Aishestt' a wonderful panorama of Gen. Lew Wal lace's novel is presented.
 Ben Hur' Is more a triumph of stage craft than of the drama, although in one or two roles, those of Ben Hur. Mes sala and Smonides, opportunities are af- forded for a display of dramatic power. But 1t is more as a picture, a success sion of pictures, rather, that the play appeals most subtly It is a vivid DOT trayal of scenes and incidents of another day and another land that could be brought before the eyes in no other way so effectively. The imagination is appealed to first of all. and then the emotions, ad- miration for the brave and strong, pity for those in distress, enthusiasm when the struggle in the circus takes place, and through it all that prevailing sense of the presence of a superior being the Savior who dominates the story throughout, but whose presence is felt rather than seen.
 The performance is begun by a pre- lude. The three wise men kneel in the desert. The bluish haze of night wraps them about. and one feels the solemnity of the moment In the sky the Star of Bethlehem wrinkles faintly. As they gaze with uplitted arms 1t grows in beauty and brilliancy until the whole heavens are illuminated and the way
