Husband In Prison
Wife Wants Freedom


On the ground that her husband is
a bigamist and is now serving term
in the county JAIL Ethel French of
this city has brought divorce proceed
ings against Turney French. Mrs.
F'renchS maiden name was Ethel
Walp. She married French January
6, 1910.
Mrs French charges that her hus-
band made himself a bigamist by mar
rying Grace Russell of Bethel on June
20, 1910. French was arrested later
and on December 6, 1910, was tried
in the criminal superior court and
sentenced to one year in Jail. French
told the court he married Miss Rus
sell because she was in trouble and
he felt sorry for her.
About a year ago French sued his
first wife for divorce on the ground
of infidelity. He said there were sew
eral correspondents in Derby and this
city but did not state their names.

the building the band rendered a. few
selections while the arrangements
were being made for the formal OPEN

The handsome decorations were gen.
orally admired. The color scheme
was green and white with the ma

artistically blended. Pictures of men
in the history of both countries were
used with tasteful effect. The va
rious booths were laden with hand
some prizes, both useful and orna-
mental in house decoration, etc. A
mammoth doll attracted much atten-
ton.

open the carnival, which was for a
most worthy purpose. He said that
this city and country owe much to
those of Irish birth and extraction,
and Bridgeport can name many of
them among her best citizens. The
banding together of all of the Irish
American societies of Bridgeport for
the one purpose, that OF providing
funds to purchase land and erect a
home, was commendable, but aside
from that it impressed him from an
other viewpoint. 1t showed unity. a
quality that is almost admirable.
The various societies have come to-
gether on a common ground, are
working hand in hand and shoulder
to shoulder, and he said that under
such conditions there could be but one
result, and that was a large measure
of success. He hoped the carnival
would establish a new record for the
societies deserved the support Of all
of the public and he hoped that ex-
pectations in that direction would be
realized fully. He complimented those
