died suddenly of apoplexy at the
home of one of his wives, where he
lived as George French" They also
knew he maintained W families
and had a child by each union.
This story was told by Mrs. Mary
E. Fresch, 43 years old, of 4319A
Laclede avenue She is the lawful
widow.
Eighteen years ago Fresch married
Miss Mary E. Ryan of Boston. A son
was born a year afterward. He was
christened George, after his father.
Nine years ago, Fresch began his re-
lations with the other woman.
A boy was born. and he, too, was
named George. To the boys's mother
Fresch was known as French, how
ever.
Later, it is said he was legally mar
ried to the second woman, but kept
both his wives ignorant of his double
life. He continued to live in this
manner, supporting both homes. until
three years ago, when a check written
for his first wife was found in his
pocket by his second wife. He then
told both of his double life.
For some years after Fresch's
second marriage he was exceedingly
prosperous. He dealt heavily in
grain and at one time was worth
Sf00, 600.
In the last two years he lost heayi-
". Within the last year he let two in
surance policies, one for $4,000 and
another for $4,000 lapse. His losses
decreased his holdings so his total
estate now is valued at only $500.
The first wife says she will make a
fight for all her husband left.
George Freseh. II years old, son by
the first wife, says his father paid his
expenses through college and provid-
ed him with good clothes. He too
knew of his fathers double life.
The second wife is preparing hasti-
ly to vaeate the house. She said she
was going to st. Louis. She refused
to tell of her past and would not adj
nit she married Freseh. Her son,
however. says his mother was mar
ried to him nine years.
Fresch died soon after returning
from a business trip TO keo-
kuk. Iowa. He arrived at his Ann
avenue home at $40 a. m. Shortly
afterwards she called ~neighbors.
Fresch was found on the floor IN
conscious; a doctor was summoned,
but before he arrived Fresch died.
A mix in the funeral resulted:
Fresch's second wife ordered the
body sent to one undertaken and
Charles Fresch, his brother, named
another undertaken. The body was
transferred from one establishment
to the other. A private funeral was
held, both families attending.
The police have dropped the inves-
tigation into Fresch's death since the
elder son testified his father had a
weak heart.
MY husband was gentle and
kind" the first wife said. 'and APP
peared to be anxious as to my we'll
being. After | found out about his
second marriage | decided not to
make it public. II would have eaus-
ed his arrest on a charge of bigamy.
Law doesn't make love you know"
The second wife has been in poor
health for ten years.

he would not be bound upon the

Senator Fulton stated that in

Jonas T. Amis, Chairman Of the
Independent Committee and the
highest authority in the party,

IRON MINING STARTS.

Potts Camp, Miss, June 28.-
The Memphis Mining and Manu-,
featuring Company now has a
force of Is men at work grading
for the location of their furnace
at Winborn, about two miles
southeast of here, and opening
up their ore mines there, all of
this work being under the super
vision of experts, and is being
pushed as rapidly as possible.
All machinery of the furnace
and for the ore mines has been
ordered and is now en- route,
three or four carloads of the
same having already arrived and
been unIOaded.
The preliminary work at the
mines has opened up a seam of
the finest carbonate of iron ore
OF a thickness of from two to six
feet, which will be mined, to be
Smelted at the Company's furnace
at Winborn, and also to be ship
ped in large quantities to the fur
naceS in the Birmingham district.
The furnace plant at Winborn
Will be in active operation not
later than Sept. |.
Everybody in this section of
Benton, Marshall and Union Coun-
ties is very much enthused over
the opening up Of these mines
and the construction OF this fur
mace, which, in a short while, will
turn out the first pig iron ever
made in Mississippi. This devel-
opment, giving employment to
about IS men at this time, and by
Sept, |, when the furnace is put
In blast, will give steady employ
ment to about 100 men, will mean
more to this section than any
thing yet undertaken here. Our
landowners are greatly excited
and have advanced the prices ask
ed for farming lands from any
where from two to five for one,
asked only a few months ago,
and the whole section is on a
boom.
