7O-YEAR-OLD HUSBAND
Testimony Shows He Already Had
Wife When He Took His Sec
ond Partner

MEDIA, Pa, June s.-Mrs. Lillian NJ
South has been granted divorce from
Daniel c. South, seventy years old, by
Judge johnson South was sixty-six years
old when he married and his wife was thir-
ty. The ceremony was performed by the
Rev L. c. Poole, in Wilmington, Del, April
8, 1918. At that time, according to the testi-
mony, South had wife at 1902 Master
street, Philadelphia, who is as old as he
was. He used to take trolley rides to Es-
ington, where his second wife lived with
her four children, the oldest twenty, the
youngest fourteen. She was then widow,
Mrs. Lillian NJ. Glathern.
She accepted South's attentions and mar
ried him under the belief that he was a
widower. After his marriage he gave up
his Philadelphia wife and settled with his
new spouse at Essington, it is alleged. II
was not long before the neighbors heard
something Of Souths alleged history. and
a pastor In Essington, the Rev. Gilbert
Penber, consented to make an investigation
and heard that Souths legal wife was living.
