First wife, over Divorce
Matters.

Registered as DR.. r. G. Campbell, chi.
cago." George II. Jamison, who recently re-
ceived more or less notofiety owing to his
having recently welded prominent Cali
fornian woman before his first wife, who
lives in Omaha had secured a decree of di-
vorce. has been guest at the Grand hotel
I'm Council Bluffs since Wednesday after
noon. His visit here was to try to effect 4
settlement with wife No. and the negotia-
tons are still pending. He left last evening
for the eastern part of the state to visit
relatives and expects to return in few
days. In the meantime Attorney George 5
Wright. who has been retained by Jamson
will conduct the negotiations for him with
Mrs .Iamson No. and her legal represen.
tatives
The newspaper stories printed recently
about Jamison and his dual marriage show
that he had experienced varied career and
this he does not deny. Shortly after his
| rival in Council Bluffs he disclosed his
| Identity to the management of the hotel
and stated the purpose of his visit here. He
appeared to be rather proud of the notoriety
| he had received and freely displayed copies
! OF the Omaha and California papers in
which the history of hfs career and the
events leading UP TO his marriage with the
| young and handsome widow of the late
Judge J. A. Campbell of Gan Francisco were
\ given.
While admitting the truth of the greater
| part of the newspaper accounts Jamison
| when seen in his room at the hotel yester.
day morning denied that he had Willingly
| or knowingly committed bigamous mar
/ riage when he married Mrs. Campbell last
! November. He said that being anxious to
/ secure a divorce from his wife in Omaha,
| she being equally willing that he should do
so, he went to Omaha and arranged mat.
! tiers 80 that his wife should secure the di
Norce he paying all the expenses, including
/ the fees of the attorneys The lawyers he
said, proved up the case and he supposed
| that they would secure the proper decree.
| from the court ana that by the time he
reached California again he would be free
! to marry Mrs. Campbell. which he did
! subsequently he learned that the LAWYERS
whom he claims TO have employed for his
wife failed To take decree and wife No l.
he alleges now refuses to do so until he
pays her a large sum alimony.
/ Jamlson. declared emphatically that ba
would not be coerced into giving any ali.
mony to his wife No. l. and up to yesterday
evening when he left for the eastern part
Of the state, the negotiations had failed Of
