OFFICIAL LEARNS
HE Is BIGAMIST
Town Marshal of Mountain
View Sued by Wife Thought
Dead II Years
Clears Himself and Is Granted
Divorce; Remarked and
Had Eight Children
[Speeiol Dispatch 10 The Call

SAN JOSE. Sept. 16.-After living
the Impression that his first wife was
dead Richard c. Waits, marshal Of
Mountain View. discovered recently
that spouse No. / was alive and quite
willing to make trouble for him.
This came to light today in Judge
Welch's department of the superior
court when an action for maintenance
started by Mrs. Mary Reece Waits was
heard
Waits told the court that % years
ago he came to California and within
a year wrote to his wife, who was left
with her father. John Reece of Craig,
Mo, to come to his home, then in
Franklin, Sacramento county. No re-
ply he said. was received to the first
four letters he wrote and then one
came from his wife's father stating
that Mrs. Waits and her little child
were both dead. He urged his son in
law, so it was stated, to send money
for the funeral expenses of the wife
and child.
Waits, then in the employ Of A. c.
Bloom, near Sacramento, later began
paying attention to a sister of his en-
ployer. and a letter-was sent to Reece,
asking him TO substantiate his son in
laws story of the death of his wife.
Again. so it was stated, the father in
law wrote that his daughter was dead.
Waits did not marry the woman he
was counting then, but in 1892 did
marry for second tife, and now has a
family of eight children.
On the showing made today Judge
welch denied the petition for main
tenance and on cross complaint
granted Waits a divorce from his first
wife on the ground of desertion. Dis
trict Attorney Fee, Justice Beverly
of Mountain View and other officials
who have known Waits for years give
him an excellent reputation
The action was defended by Attorney
John d. Willard of San Francisco.
