YOUTH NEATLY
TRAPS HIMSELF
Says He Wed to Dodge Jail, Not
Expecting to Live With Wife
Law Provides Heavy Penalty.

Bert Robinson, who celebrated his
nineteenth birthday In ponce court
Thursday, as defendant In a non-sup.
port case brought by his 16-year-oid
wife, who was formerly Miss Clara
Piette. OF No. 70 Dalzelle-st.. faces
triai on a very serious charge
brought upon him by his own testi.
mony In the, non-support case. Robin.
son, who has lived with his parents al
No. 258 Locust-st., ever since his mar.
rage. swore on the witness stand In
Justice Jeffries' court that he never
loved the girl. and that he married
her last September to save himself
from a prison term, never expecting to
live with her.
Attorney Thomas Mahon offered the
plea that under the conditions the
marriage was unlawful, In that It was
performed under duress and force. He
pointed out that Robinson had sup
piled 81 week TO his wife, which COW
cred the support OF her 16-months-old
child, Marie.
it happened that Justice Jeffries
himself had agreed to the dismissal
of the serious charge against Robin
son when the young man promised 10
marry the girl.
When Robinson triumphantly stated,
on the witness stand. that he had been
forced to marry, and for that reason
ought 10 be freed OF the non-support
charge, Justice Jeffries suddenly rose
from his chair and remarked: Young
man. you have trapped yourself in
very serious manner. There is a
statute which sets a penalty Of three
years Imprisonment on such an OF.
tense as you admit committing"
The Judge thereupon dismissed the
case, and ordered the
pretty young wife to confer with him
about the other phase OF the matter.
The case has been placed in the hands
of the prosecutor.
The statute says that any man who
shall marry a woman to escape i'm
and shall desert her after
such a marriage. may be fined $1,000,
or imprisoned for three years, or be
made to suffer both penalties.

May Be Galata Bandits.

The four men who were recently ar
rested at Great Falls upon evidence
which appeared to identify them as the
ban dts who recently committed rob.
berries at Coil&ns and in other parts of
Teton cOenty. may prove to be the
fugitives for whom the Chouteau coun-
ty authorities have been searching for
the past month. Suspicion to that
effect is reported in news item from
Great Falls, which says:
That two of the men who were ar.
rested here Oh suspicion that they were
implicated in the robberies in Teton
county, during the past ten days,
were the bandits who held up saloon
at G alats, on the Great Northern main
line in Teton county, the evening of
Oct. IA. is the belief OF Teton county
officers.
George Wilson, the white man who
was arrested here with three half.
breed Indians. and Jack Clark, one
of the half.breeds, are thought to be
the pair who stole Two saddle horses
from the ranch of T. S. Lytle, south
west of Choteau, the night of October
IL. 1t is thought they rode northward
and, arriving at Galata three days
later, held up the saloon there, securing
less than 900 and after that they
probably laid low for q month.
Wilson, who worked at the Lytle
ranch under the name of Jim Grant q
lew weeks before the horses were stolen
