iff Stone said last night that he
knew of at least three marriages the
man had contracted. 1t is claimed
that he married woman of Madison
Wisconsin, about six months or SO
ago was married to the Spokane
Washington, woman, and that about
eight weeks ago he married the pres
ent Mrs. Bischop. Sheriff Stone said
it was probably that the Madison
Mrs. Bischop would come to Spokane
to appear as witness against him
Unless there is some unforeseen &C.
currence, the sheriff will leave with
his prisoner at 3:15 o'clock this aft
ernoon Bischop will be taken by
way of Little Rock, over the Burling-
ton to ST. Paul, and then over the
Northern Pacific to Spokane. While
he is still weak and shows plainly
that he has been quite i'll, it is
thought he will be able to make the
