MRS. GEORGE BEST NO. 8 WANTS
MAIDEN NAME
Charge of Higamy Pending in Superior
Court Against Actor-cIair Made
That All Wives Are
Alive

Cecile Fleming Best who says she Is
the third living wife Of George selden
Best, fled complaint in the superior
court yesterday asking annulment Of
her marriage and permission to resume

bigamy at Santa Ana and held over to
the superior court on that charge.
The last affinity of the much married
actor was inclined to protect him at
first and is said to have employed legal
talent to argue for him in the prelim-
mary trial.
Her attorneys tried to show that the
first Mrs. Best was living at the time Of
his second marriage, making that cere-
mony Illegal; and that the first wife
had died subsequent to the second
marriage, making the third wedding
binding. Recently 1t has developed
that the first wife is still alive and liv-
ing in Cleveland, Ohio.
The complaint filed yesterday marks
a change of policy on the part of the
Santa Ana bride due, it is said. to Best's
Indifference toward her.
In thu complaint Mrs. Best No. 3 says
she did not know OF the former mar
riages when she consented to marry
George Best.
They were married October 5, 1907, in
Santa Ana and lived together until Oc-
tober- i6, when she says she became
formed of the former wives and imme-
diately left her husband.
Mrs. Best states in her complaint that
the first marriage of her actor husband
was to Bertha Julia Nilsson in Butte,
Montana, May 26, 1900. They are said
to have lived together until 1903, when
they separated, but did not get di-
vorce.
December %. 1905, Best is charged
with having taken another wife in Salt
Lake City. The name of the second
bride was Anita Smith. They lived to-
gether until September, 1907. and have
never been divorced.
With haste the experienced husband
took another bride, Miss Cecile Fleming
of Los Angeles
