Mrs. Yates No. 2, or Miss Marie
Pctrie arrived from San Francisco last
night, and war ed to visit her husband
at the county Jail, but was refused adj
mittance. She then waited until this
morning, when ri again called at the
le,l and vas Ill. wed to visit with her
husband, who tomorrow morning will
be taken 10 tie t.si'son prison to ser W
a ter ne,f n year for bigamy. TIE
meeting between Yates and Miss Petrie
was surely a pitiful one. They talked
OF the East and of the woman who had
caused them all their trouble. They
again vowed with sobs and many
vo- dis OF love that they would be true
t, Que another, and she promised to
wait a year until he coula cast aside
lie Prison stripes and then wed him
once n ore This second wedding will
Re a legal one and will be performed
III this city.
The first wife has promised to OBJ
tain a divorce as soon as her husband
is ncareerated in the ~penitentiary and
he will then be a free man as far as
marriage ties are concerned. He will
nave to languish in prison, however,
before he can again call Marie Petrie
his wife.
Miss Petrie and Yates spent nearly
tis whole day together in the sheriff Is
Office discussing their plans for the fu-
tue and repeating over and over
their vows of love and constancy. They
were always under the vigilance of a
deputy sheriff, who heard all that
passed between them and who watched
the prisoner with much care, but as
For as they were concerned he could
aave .een o wooden officer. They paid
20 Iced to him and from all appear
;.nces forgot that he was in the room
with them.
Their parting was a fearful one, and
ii was With sobs of anguish that Miss
ectrie I'D farewell to the man she
lovers. She will leave tomorrow morn
ing for Napa, where she has secured a
position in a coat and suit house, and
Yates will be handcuffed and taken to
the states prison, where he will spend
the next year at hard labor.
In conversation with a Gazette rep
r~esentative, Miss Marie Petrie, or Mrs
Yates No. 2, said:
~ love Mr.. Yates more than / I'VE
did, and ! will always be true to him.
will wait until he has been given his
liberty and then we will be married
again. The wedding will take place in
this city and we will make our home
here. 1t is not our fault that we are
net legally married, as WI both thought
at the time of the wedding that his
first wife had obtained a divorce an6
that he was free to wed me or any
one else. His wife told him that she
had secured a divorce and his sister
told me that Yates was free from all
matrimonial obligations, as his first
wife had obtained a legal separation.
If we had been to blame, or if he had
thought that he wal stil a married
man, do you think for a moment that
we would have come to vhis city to
make our home and would have been
married under his true name, w. B
s ties? We were both innocent OF
committing any crime, and / know
that Mr.. Yates loves me and no other .
Yates, the convicted bigamist, says
that he acted innocently through the
whole affair, and that he would never
have n arried Miss Petrie had he known
that he was still bound by marriage
tics to his first wife. He says that he
