FOOLS HUSBAND LONG

PREVIOUS MARRIAGES.
Suit for Big Sum In Ohio Court Brings
Strange Case to Iisht-second
Spouse Lives Near Much
Welded Woman,

Lisbon, ON q suit for $4,000
died here against the Hugh Montgom-
cry estate by Thomas R. Matthews,
administrator, and Florus Montgom-
cry, son by the mans first wife, it is
alleged that when Hugh Montgomery
took Miss Lydia Hayes as his sec
ond wife she concealed the fact that
she had been married twice previous
~, first to Robert Hole. by whom she
had two sons, James M. and Leander,
and after divorcing him to James
Dickson.
Strangest Of all in the petition is the
accusation that she was SO successful
In concealing her marital history as
to be enabled to keep Montgomery in
ignorance Of it all during the q
years she lived with him, notwith-
standing that Dickson, husband No. 2,
resided near them.
When Dickson died Montgomery
learned in some way of the deception
that had been practiced upon him and
It was an added blow when he discov.
cred that his 40O.acre farm had been
converted into cash and that much of
the proceeds had been appropriated
BY his wife. Angered beyond meas.
ure. he demanded the money and at
the same time ordered her from the
house. She did not refund, but left
the house, taking the money with her,
which, it is alleged, she gave to her
two sons by her first husband.
The disclosures came about through
the death of James Dickson, husband
No. 2. The worry. Of it all affected
Montgomery's health and he died on
December 2. 1904. The woman sur.
vived until September 8, 1905, when
she, too, was stricken with q fatal ILL.,
ness.
1t is alleged that she left $4,000.
and that her sons, James M. and
Leander Hole. took possession of the
money. The suit just entered asks
that this money be returned as well
as other moneys which the woman
gave to the Hole boys, aggregating in
all about $4,000.

Abiding by this decision as a prece-

They hold that in spite of the best
