Of John LeClair Who Now
Is Said To Have Admit
ted -Four Marriages
SAYS HE WAS UNDER
INFLUENCE OF DRUG
No Court Action on Any
Charge Has Been
Taken Yet

Barre acquaintance OF John LeClair
held at Poughkeepsie, N. ". on the
charge Of. forgery and alleged also to
have been married TO several women
during the last two years, are much in
terested in the indirect report coming
to this, the home city Of the young
man, that before he ever comes TO trial
on any charge he viii be subjected to
a rigorous examination az to his men
tai capacity. There are some who are
inclined to believe that the young man
|is mentally irresponsible to certain
degree.
According ftS report from Poughkeep-
sic where the young man is being de-
tanned he declares he entered into vari-
Gus marriage ceremonies while under
the influence Of drug. Il Is said by
tho police of Pcughkeepsie that he ad-
mits having married four women, only
one of whom he ever cared for. 1t was
alleged bv the police Of that city and
OF cities in Massachusetts, that he had
been married at least six times, some
times not having money enough to pay
the minister to perform the ceremony
but relating a hard luck story, which
enlisted the sympathy of the clergy
men to the extent that they performed
the ceremony without waiting for evil
denee of ability to pay.
This faculty for meeting emergencies
seems to have been with the young
man while in his home town. il the
statements Of his acquaintances are to
be relied upon.
So far rs the police know, IcClair
did not have any set occupation while
living in Barre Ii is known that for
time he travelled with carnival com
'pany and visited this section of New
England.
His mother, Mrs Elizabeth LeClair
of Summer street, is reported TO have
said that her son was rather trying 10
her at times. His father. Peter LeClair,
a blacksmith. was the man who was
severely injured several years ago when
ii train ON the Barre a Chelsea rail
road. entering siding just back Of
South Main street, knocked down the
shop in which LeClair was
at work at his forge. injurng the
blacksmith quite severely. The build
ing had to be raised partially before
the man could be extrieated from the
debris.
Poughkeepsie, Nr,. AprilS2s. John
IeCIair admitted yesterday, police said,
that he had four wives, only one OF
whom he had ever cared for. The for
mer sergeant major, Aeld here on
charges Of passing a bad check, and
against whom bigamy charges have
been filed by New England authori |
ties, named as his erstwhile brides;
Bertha Maudc HAYNES, whom be mar

fore his arrest; Walmar Tarr, whom he |
married in Gloucester, Mass. a girl |
ehom he met in Boston and another
eiri from Gloucester, the girl he liked |
lhe best
LeClair stated he married under tho |
of drug, the police say, and
le denied the existence OF other wives
admitting his name had ap
,eared on the registers of innumerable
iotels from coast TO coast as the hus

Let's Have Honey by The Ton.
Kansas City is a gold mine of
select trade for the man who
can reach that market with the
best white clover honey, the best
aristocratic honey in the Miss
issippi Valley. William Sass of
Concordia, says he got 5000 TBS.
of honey off before fall and
there is more to come from the
good fall flow from Spanish
Needles and Smartweed, Over
in Cass County there are half a
dozen men who made a ton to
three tons Of honey each this
year.
Can we do it in Lafayette?
For two years a quiet interest
has been taken by citizens to
improve beekeeping, about Hig-
ginsville. Now we want to start
folks off in fall and winter man
agement so that they win surely
have strong colonies to work
with in getting next years hon
ey crop. Lafayette County
should have several tons of hon
ey for the Kansas City market
besides quadrupling the locaI
consumption of so healthy a food
as honey.
