Bigamy Case with Peculiar Features.

B1gamy case with Pecuhar Features.
Charles J. Cornell of Rutland plead
I'd not guilty to a charge of bigamy
before Judge f. G. Swinnerton in city
court, bail being fixed at $500, which
was furnished by the young man 5
counsel, Walter S. Fenton.
The case has attracted not a little
attention throughout that section, par
licularly among the officials, because of
he claim by young Connell, who for
merlv lived in Watervliet, \. Y, that
ne has been the victim of police perse-
.ution. He admits that FIVE years ago
he married Miss Margaret Barrett, who
lives next door to his home, following
seduction proceedings and he afterward
served time in 1Elmira, n Y, for aban-
dOning her.
He finally left New York state,
went to Rutland, and last November
married Miss Dorothy Lillian Carnell,
IF that city, without first obtaining a
livoree from his first wife. Connell
now claims that the first Mrs ConneIl
was f'out after the money and that
since his marriage She has broken NJ
ais own home, his father and smother
having separated because of the wo-
man. who is older than Council. This
feature of the case is being investigat-

.eedings will be instituted against the
first Mrs. Council and that Cornell will
again marry Miss CARMEL.
