SUIT MAY CAUSE.
B|GAMY CHARGE
Allegation Made in AIimony
Case Lippincott Was Too
Much Married.

A charge of bigamy may result
from a hearing before .Vice-Chan-
cellor Stevens today on the petition
of Harry A. Lippincott, salesman,
to reduce the amount of alimony
which he has been paying his wife,
Mrs. Sarah ]. Lippincott, of New
Egypt, N. ].
According to the statement of for
mer Judge Lambert, attorney for the
wife, in court today, Lippincott was
living as man and wife with a Louise
Bear, at 21s Peshine avenue, who
committed suicide January 8, 1911.
Judge Lambert quoted the mother
of the dead woman as saying she
"believed her daughter and Mr.. Lip
pincott were married, as a wedding
certificate had been produced, show
ing. 1t is alleged, that the ceremony
had been performed in Connecticut
during the fall of 1910"
Counsel for Mrs. Linpincott declared
that the husband sued the wife for
divorce in 1908 The suit was heard
in the Chancery chambers on Janu-
ary 2S of that year. but was never
prosecuted. Lippincott had been or
dered to pay his wife $40 a week.
When the woman who was known
as Mrs. Lippincott was found dead
number of peculiar circumstances
were presented to the police. A cat
lay unharmed beside her body. Lip
pincott was taken to the Fourth pre-
cinct by Captain Brown, of the Sixth
precinct. After being held few
hours he was released.
A newspaper account of the suicide
was presented by Judge Lambert In
court today, and 1t was then that
the allegation of bigamy was intro
duced. The mother Of the Bear
woman, according to counsel, lays
the blame on her daughters suicide
to the fact that the supposed Mrs.
Lippincott found a letter from tho
daughter. enclosing the latter's pho
tograph. Reference to the deserted
mother is also said to have been
made IN the letter.
