ACQUITTED OF
CHARGE OF
BIGAMY
Mans Marriage in Elizabeth
Helped Him in PhiIa-
delphia Trial.

PHILADELPHIA, July 12.-After a
trial Astounding in sensational turns,
the charge of bigamy made against
Louis Albert Fehr, of New York, by the
second woma he married, was dis
missed by Judge Sulzberger, in Quarter
Sessions Court No. 1 yesterday. be-
cause the statute of limitations had
run. To be exact, it was the charge
of being an accomplice of this woman
in a bigamous marriage that was dis
missed. 1t arose after the original
charge had fallen through.
The first of frequent surprises came
when the Commonwealth showed that
Fehr for eight years Immediately pre-
ceding his arrest had maintained two
families, one in Jersey City or Ho-
boken, the other in New York. This
had not been publicly known before.
The first Mrs. Fehr. to whom the ac-
cused man was married 23 years ago,
and who is his Jersey wife, refused to
come over and testify against him.
Judge Sulzberger, however, allowed the
first marriage to be proved through a
cousin of Fehr's.
When the second wife, who was Miss
Irma Thel1er, of New York, took the
oNoAfa 1hO SUI iRVo NoAhN NAAfNh 1919
fast. 1t was because this marriage
took place here that Fehr was brought
to trial in Philadelphia. Since then
Fehr, has spent every Saturday after
noon and Sunday at his New York
house, spending the rest of the week,
beginning Monday morning, at his
Jersey home.
Then the witness made the surprising
a4@fA.-sN1Z 4Int 1IA 1raaur INahV uyod a
married man when she married him..
Under a Pennsylvania statute it is a
n'isdemeanor for an unmarried person
to marry knowingly another's husband
or wife, as the case may be. This con-
fession apparently defeated the prose-
cution, but District Attorney Taulane
speedily remedied the break by get
ting from the woman the statement
that she was coerced into the marriage.
Then came the greatest surprise of
the trial. The witness admitted, un-
der cross-examination, that she had
gone through the marriage form in
Elizabeth, N. j., two months prior to-
the Philadelphia marriage. This, OF
course, made the Philadelphia mar
riage no marriage at all. The woman
explained that she had regarded the
Elizabeth marriage as only a form
executed because Fehr was afraid she
might marry somebody else before he
got a divorce, which he had promised
to get from his other wife. But the
court held that the explanation made
no difference, and that Fehr was not
guilty of bigamy in this city.
Mr.. Taulane. reinforced by Assistant
District Attorney Gray, argued with
the judge for ten minutes to prevent
him from ordering the prisoners ac-
quittal. At last, under the arguments,
he ruled that Fehr was an acomplice
in a biEamous marriage contracted
here.A But then the fact appeared that
this new offense was not like bigamy,
a continuing offense, and as more than
W years had elapsed the statute OF
limitations had run. This, the judge
ruled, was the case, and acquittal was
ordered.

RATION
BEFORE
WAR
by Hague Sub-com'
mittee, Japan Delegate
FavOring Resolution.

THE HAGUE, July 1.-THE French
proposition regarding declarations of
war and the opening of hostilities, and
the amendments thereto, were today
discussed by the subcommittee to
which the questions were referred. The
American, British and Japanese dele
gates gave the adhesion of their gov
ernments to the principle of the French
proposal which was to the effect that
there would be a declaration of war
before the opening of hostilities.
General Horace Porter, observing that
while in accordance with the constitu-
ton the right to declare war belonged
to Congress, he did not see any obsta-
Gle to the adhesion of the United
States to the French proposition. Senior
Quesada (Cuba), in the name OF the
Cuban delegation, declared as the con-
stitution of Cuba enumerates among
the powers of Congress that of declar-
ing war, the Cuban delegation could
not subscribe to any instrument with
out ~reserving to their Congress the
right to decline the form and condi-
tons of a declaration of war.
Colonel Tinge (China) expressed the
wish that it be determined what con-
stituted a as several European coun-
tries invaded and fought China without
admitting that they were engaged In
war.
The amendment introduced by the
Netherlands proposing twenty-four
hours delay after a declaration of war
before the outbreak of hostilities was
rejected by 16 to IA votes. There were
five abstentions from voting.
The first article of the French pro-
position, that a declaration of war
should precede the opening of HOSTILE
tiles, was then approved by 81 to 2
votes. Two delegates abstained from
voting.
The second article regarding giving
notice to neutral powers of an OUT
break of war also was approved. and a
speciaI commission was appointed to
draw up a definite proposition on the
subject to be submitted to the con-
ference.

meantime a fire alarm had been sent In,
There was nothing for the department to
do on its arrival, as there was no fire.
Officer Maroney sent in a phone call to
headquarters, and the reserves of the First
Precinct were rushed to the scene. De
spite the heavy downpour of rain. a large
crowd gathered. There was much danger
from falling stones, as many Of the boul-
ders were held to the steeple by whai
seemed mere strands of cement. The po-
lice stretched ropes arou the building
and permitted no one, except those com
PEELED to, to go within the danger zone
however, none of the stones fell after the
first shock.
The REV. Thomas D. Villers, the pastor,
was at the church within ten minutes
after the bolt struck. He ran all the way
from his home, several blocks away
through the rain as soon as he heard thai
the church had been struck. He went
through the edifice, satisfying himself that
no one had been hurt Or that there was nc
danger Of fire.
He no longer uses the study that suffered
more than any other interior section OF
the church, having some time ago
equipped one at his home.

1899. The questions were evidently 1or
the of impeachment. AFTER
Flynn left the stand Haywood resumed
the stand and the examination was
continued.
HAYWOOD said Orchard had been at his

which the federation owned-one OF the
nineteen horses which had been used IN
distributing relief in the Cripple Greek
district. Pettibone was anxious to gel
the mare for one of his delivery wagons
The witness denied severally and posi-
lively that he had talked to Orchard or
planned with him the killing OF General
Sherman Bell.
During 1904 Steve Adams was at head
quarters several times. He said he had
been to the tall timber" Adams and MS
wife were both drawing strike relief az
