even the defendant, A. o. Jacobs, erst-

up his hands when asked for details,
were brought out at Thursdays ses'
sion of the trial of Jacobs, charged in
the district court with bigamy. Jacobs
is horse dealer. Four of the wives
are living.
The charge was brought by Mrs
Mary Paul Jacobs of this city, who
said Jacobs already was united to Mrs
Cora Andrew Jacobs of Kansas City
Mo-, when he married her. Under a
Kansas law prohibiting remarriage
within six months after divorce
Jacobs contends both these marriages
were Illegal, since he contracted them
within six months after his divorce
from Mrs Merle Maher Jacobs in Fort
Scott, Kan, and therefore that he was
no bigamist.
In return, the state sought to prove
that the divorce had no effect on the
case, inasmuch as the marriage in Fort
Scott was itself Illegal having been
contracted a month before Jacobs was
divorced by a former wife, Mrs. Kate
