A very interesting situation will!
probably develop in the case Of Harry
A. Smith, who was arrested early yes
terday morning at his boarding house
at 919 East Leigh street by Detectives
Wiley and Keilam on a charge OF
bigamy made by a woman living in
Cincinnati, who claims to be his frst
wife.
While these interesting develop

ing held by the local authorities for
the police OF Cincinnati, his case hav-
ing been continued in Police court
yesterday morning to September Sd.
by which time 1t is expected off,
GERS will have arrived here from Gin
cinnati to take him In charge. Wheth-
err or not they will get him depends
upon the strength OF the contention
of Mrs. Rosamond Elizabeth Wright
Smith, who married Smith in Dur
ham, N. c., last February, and who
believes Smith. has not been mar
ried before.
Habeas Corpus II Necessary.
Mrs Smith. of Durham, declares
she does not believe. and certainly
she does not know. that Smith has
another wife living, and last night
she expressed herself as intending to
fight such action as may be taken
toward securing requisition for her
husband. She declares that, II neces-
sary, she will resort TO habeas cor

restored to her. In her determine

The charge against Smith cites that
he had wife and a one-year-old
child living in Cincinnati when he
married Miss Wright, of Durham. He
was arrested on advices from Gin

badly wanted in thattcity.
No Governor to Honor Papers.
The case of Smith continued unit!
September Sd. gives Cincinnati Off
cers a chance to come to this city
for their prisoner. They will prob
ably bring requisition papers which
must be presented to the governor OF
Virginia tefore they can be honored.
A peculiar phase OF the situation at
this time Ia that the State really has
no governor who can honor such

ish any postofice located within a

to the Moon provision chiefly on busi-
mess reasons, although it admitted
that sentiment was strong all
through Virginia for retaining the Of

Judge Price, member OF the dele

are confused when they receive let
tiers dated Bristol, Va, and find that
the postofice is at Bristol Tenn.

Mr.. Toney also advocated cutting
down of annuities and large specials
ITO big institutions and doing some

other innovation advocated by him
was the creation of the position OF
State pardon commissioner at salary
of $4,000 per year with ample allow
ance for clerical and travelling ex-
penses, that appointment to hold for
twelve years. BY this, ne believes
the Governor could be relieved OF
much work in connection with par
dons, the duty of the commissioner be-
ing to investigate all cases and then
make recommendations to the Cover
nor.
