PIERCE THE BIGAMIST
Says Bootleg Booze and dope
Were the Cause of His
Downfall.

Elmer L. Pierce the alleged
bigamist, was taken before JUS
tice Wilkey yesterday for a
preliminary hearing. He said
he was guilty and was held for
the superior court. In explana-
tion Pierce says that soon after
coming to Nogales he got to
drinking booze and using dope"
brought from across the line
and soon became wholly ire
sponsible. He claims that he
had at the time of his marriage
to the Sandoval woman but a
dazed recollection of what he
was doing. On the other hand
some of the officials say that
he once served a short term in
the state prison over his con-
nection with the theft of a BIZ
cycle. He had two motor cars
he says, he gave to his STEP
daughter. What became of the
other one he claims he does not
know.
It is known that he had some
money when he came here and
did a good business with his
auto tire proposition, but when
he went to Bisbee he was en-
tirely without funds and went
to work in the mines.
