The curious union existing at $500
Hudson Boulevard Jersey City, where
Herbert Thornton Andrews, New
York stock broker. has been living FOR
three months with two wives. was
dissolved yesterday. Wife No. ! drove
Andrews and Wife No. out of the
apartment. and said she would start
suit for divorce in Trenton to-day.
Andrews and wife No. were APP
parently glad TO go. The young woman
went to Newark early in the after
noon. Andrews was 10 meet her in the
lobby OF the Robert Treat Hotel in
that city before dinner and they were
to go to another hotel and spend the
evening discussing their plans for the
future. The two children by the
original marriage were left with their
mother in the Jersey City home. An
drews. when he drove away from
Jersey City at $50 P. NJ, appeared
to think that everything had been
amicably settled, and that divorce pro-
ceedings were the worst he might ex-
pect.
Andrews appears TO think that he can
not be successfully attacked by either
civil or criminal process. Nevertheless
a warrant for his arrest was issued yes
terday by James F. Walsh, prosecuting
attorney for the town OF Greenwich,
t.>f, an Ia 7t1 a
IS last, that Andrews, who had mar
ried Maud Augusta Haynes in Portland,
Me-, in 1912, went through second
ceremony before a woman justice OF the
peace with Esther Marie Tatnall.
Bigamy and Perjury Charged.
The Greenwich warrant charges him
with bigamy and perjury. His extradi-
ton from New Jersey TO Connecticut
will be requested The perjury charge
is based on entries in the application for
a license in Greenwich. He swore that
he was single and both he and Esther
Tatnal gave their addresses as Pitts
burgh. whereas he lived in Jersey City
Prosecutor Walsh said last night that
two other prosecutions for bigamous
marriages performed by justices OF the
neace in Greenwich would be started.
He also said he would ask the Legisla-
ture 10 pass a law holding these Justices
responsible for marriages OF out oil
town residents who nad not applied Tor
marriage licenses five days before get
ting them. The present law permits me
five day period TO be waived II pubic
policy or physical condition" demands u.
and liz time weddings have been numer-
Gus. The woman justice who married
Andrews and Miss T'atnall has married
thirty-two couples since January j. she
is Miss Alice u. O'Neill.
Andrews's two children BY the hrst
marriage-John. s, and Harley. ;, 2
cripple-remained last night with their
mother In the Jersey City apartment
This arrangement was insisted upon by
the mother, according to her attorney,
and was agreed 10 by tho father. That
the flrst wife was to havo the children
was TO have been one OF the stipulations
of an agreement between Andrews and
Wife No. /. which, II was thought,
would be signed yesterday afternoon.
II was then expected that a compact
including payments satisfactory 70 all
three points Of the triangle and pre-
sumably also to the two puzzled little
BOYS would be made before evening.
