Mother and Girl Wed Same Man.
St. Joseph, Mo-, Feb. 49, Forced
by his wife into a bigamous MARI
age with her own 16-year-old
daughter, William Smith lived for
six years as the husband of the
two women. A comic valentine
and a pistol shot ended the situa-
ton yesterday.
Smith received both the valen-
tine and the bullet. He accused
his wife" Cora, % years old, of
sending him the anonymous com
iC." There was a quarrel. Smith
packed up his belongings and pre-
pared to leave. Then Cora shot
him.
To the police who arrested her
she unfolded remarkable story.
She said that seven years ago
she went to live with her mother
and stepfather, who had just been
married. She fell in love with
Smith, and he returned her affec,
ton. Her mother discovered it and
she forced her husband and daugh-
ter to 60 through marriage cere-
mony without the formaIity of q
divorce.
The police sent for the young
wOman's mother, and she corrobo
rated the story.
She said she married Smith Sc
cretly in 1902. Her daughter by {
previous marriage, Cora, was theI
is years old. A year later, she said
ishe discovered that her daughter
and her second husband were il
love with one another. Believing
that no one knew of her own secre
wedding, the mother made he
daughter marry Smith.
The situation did not result in
any trouble, she said, until tn,
quarrel occurred over the conf,
valentine Her daughter was know
to the neighbors as Mrs. Cor;
Smith" and no one ever suspected
she said, that there was an extr,
wife in the Smith household.
Smith is badly wounded and ma,
die, Mrs. Cora" will be held pend
ing the result of his injury.
