MARRIED AGED WIDOW.
Lloyd 4. ihcAlIiSter, Accused of Big
amy Says He was Drunk.

Richmond, Oct. 23-That he was
drunk at the time Of his marriage
here on December IS. 1909. to Mrs
Mary Mullins, a elderly widow nearI!
double his age. was the defense made
in Police Court yesterday by LloyC
\. McAllister, a cement worker, thir-
ty-six years old. Of near Charlottes
willie. who is charged with bigamy.
NlcAllister, while not denying that
fke marriage took place, insisted that
he was so intoxicated that he bad TIC
recollection of the event.
Onsetting this, the Rev. J. w. Dix.
on, superintendent of the Methodist
Institute. on East Main Street. who
performed the ceremony. recalled that
McAllister gave no evidence of being
drunk. In fact the minister was sure
that he was thoroughly sober at the
time.
On February 18th last, McAllister
according to his own admission, was
married in Staunton to daughter OF
NJ. r. Graves. a well-to-do apple grow
Of CroZet Va.
Another point Of defense made by
McAllister was that he thought his
Richmond wife was dead. TO substan-
tiate this he produced witness in the
person Of his brother. Andrew l..
McAllister. a cripple who said that
he had heard that Wife No. l, was
no longer living and that he had so
notified Lloyd.
