BERI MccoURT RETURNS FROM
HOME OF INCURABLEs TO
FIND HIS WIFE A
BIGAnsT.
HER ARREST TAKES PLACE.
SHE HAD A HARD TINE AND
WAS TOLD THAT HE WAS
DEAD AND so SHE
MARRIED AGAIN.

A peculiar bigamy case is on here.
Beri Mccourt married oma jenkins
in Gilmer county October %, 1895,
and son was born to them. In
1899 he became afflicted with epilep-
sy and was sent to Huntington to
the West Virginia asylum, the home
for incurables. But he recovered
and was released.
Mrs. McCourt married Freeman
Hornick in this county May "a, 1903.
without having obtained a divorce
from Mccourt.
Mr.. Mccourt arrived here Friday
night from Huntington having learn
ed after some inquiry that his wife
had remarked and was residing with
her second husband. He went to
their home in the eastern part of the
city, where he greatly surprised Mrs.
Hornick, or rather. by law, Mrs. Nc
Court. There was no scene, how
ever. He asked her II she had OBJ
tanned divorce. She said she had
not and that the reason she re-mar-
ried was that she had hard time
to get along and had been told Nc
Court was dead.
Mccourt learned there that two
children had been born to her by
her alleged second marriage. He
also saw his son. who is now nine
years old. There was no reconcil-
liatlon or reunion, and Saturday
morning McCourt went before JUS
tice James N. David and swore out
a warrant against her, charging her
with bigamy.
Constable A. C. Waldo went to
her home on Poplar street to arrest
her but was informed that she had
gone to her mothers in Glen Elk.
Later she appeared before Justice
David, waived examination and gave
bond of $500 with her brother as
surety to answer an Indictment.
