Of Broker Living in
Jersey With 2 Wives,
Despite Loophole in Law
Bride Leaves Flat
To Older Rival
Latter Expected to Accept
a Money Settlement for
Son and Not Prosecute

A warrant was issued yesterday aft
erroon at Greenwich, Conn, for the
arrest Of Herbert Thornton Andrews,
stock broker, who has been living with
TWO wives at his apartment at 2a4s
Hudson Boulevard, Jersey City. The
warrant charges bigamy and perjury.
1t was issued by Judge James F.
Walsh, Prosecuting Attorney of Green
sich. He said that extradition of
Andrews from New Jersey would be
asked. Senate leaders pointed out last
night at Hartford that under the pres
snt loose bigamy law in Connecticut
Andrews cannot be prosecuted for a
bgamous marriage, but can be prose-
cuted for perjury, as he stated on his
license issued at Greenwich last Jan
uary that he was single and was
resident of Pittsburgh.
After the landlord of the Rensselaer,
Apartment House, in which Andrews
and his two wives lived, had ordered that
one Of the wives leave yesterday, Mrs. Es-
ther Marie Tatnall Andrews, the pretty
blond stenographer, who married An
drews at Greenwich January &c last,
took her departure. She did not make
known her destination.
Andrews Leaves Apartment
Andrews also left, leaving Mrs. Maud
Augusta Haynes Andrews, wife No. /
and mother of the brokers' two sons.
in charge of the apartment last night
Counsel for wife No. l said yesterday
she had agreed to accept Andrews's 8
offer of permanent support for herself
and children and that he believed she
would leave him to her rival and forego
lsgal action.
The report that there was an odor
aetker in the vicinity of the Andrews
gNt,nent last night brought police
kstcnant and three patrolmen to the
psrtment house. The lieutenant, in
tie belief that there had been an at
temp. at suicide, forced the door. Mrs
Aaude Andrews, clad in a nightgown
and pale and frightened, then ap-
peared.
She said she had been asleep and
demanded to know the cause of the
intrusion. She was unable to account
for the odor of ether and said she had
not entertained any thought of suicide.
Two other cases involving entangled
marital affairs occupied the attention
Of the courts yesterday. Roscoe Reich
feeble and sixty-eight, found himself
in a cell at the Raymond Street Jail
Brooklyn, after having confessed that
he had two wives. They appeared
against him when he was arraigned in
Gates Avenue court, Brooklyn.
Mrs. Rose Manheimer declared in an
afhdavit in the Brooklyn Supreme
Court yesterday that her husband,
living, had tried to get her to say she
was not his wife in order to placate
the parents of girl to whom he had
posed as a single man. He asked the
girl to marry him, it is alleged.
Andrews Seems Flustered
When Andrews came to the door of
his apartment yesterday to see report
ers his two sons, John, eight years old,
and Harley,six, were visible in the hall
way John stood just back of his father
but Harley, who is crippled, had to
drag his body across the floor until he
reached spot where he could sit, tai
ior fashion, on his legs and gaze curl
ously at the callers.
That was before Mrs. Andrews No. 1
had gone away. Her voice and that Of
Andrews and wife No. were audible
to the newspaper men as they waited
Tor the door to open. They were ap-
parently quarreling.
Andrews, fustered but glib, told the
newspaper men he would see them all
at his New York Office, 20 Broad Street.
Yesterday afternoon.
