penie1 Another Marriage
Apio was sent for secoud time.
He denied having married any girl at
all AZ the request Of his attorney,
Leon NJ. Strauss Apio was given a see
nnd chance 10 right the wrong On
Tuesday Of this week, T. w. ThOmp,
ron, assistant district attorney, pre-
renteda marriage certificate before
United states. Commissioner Curry and
moved that The statutory charge
against John Apio be dismissed. The
certificate proved that Apio had mar,
RED his Annie, after all. The fharge
was dismissed
III was learned yesterday that Apio
e,opea with Emily HooTana on Sep
TENDER | and then married hcr. Emily :
PARENTS were opposed to John, because
ihey knew that he was going with the
other Girl Annie. There was scene
following the marriage. This was how
Annie learned that her John also had
married some one else.
Prosecution May Follow
Taking il for granted that the John
Apio who married Emily is the same
man who two weeks later married
Annie, the alleged muchly married
man Is liable to prosecution ON a
charge of bigamy. In law, the hrst
! marriage will stand and Annie, after
an syill not no John's legal wife.
