81 am in prison now" she said, in
| dicating with a sweep of the hand
the four small children who pulled

chances already, and have souve-
mir for every chance"

Hansen is held on $4,000 bail in
the Tcmbs court at New York as
fugitive from justice from Kcnosha,
charged with bigamy. Wisconsin au-
thorities credit him with two wives,
while the New York police say that
he has three.
Reeva Goldberg of Kenosha, is nam
ed as the second wife of Hansen. 1t
is alleged that she was married to
him at Grown Point, Ind, in February,
1923, and that at that time he carried
the name of "Charles Alberts"
"Reeva and / went to school to-
gether," said Martha Hansen this
noon. 'We were schoolmates in the
Balm school,"
She made no comment of the "other
woman" other than this, and looked
off thoughtfully through the window
down the dirt road, lined with bleak
and bare trees.
While the Kenosha authorities knew
only that Hansen was wanted on the
bigamy charge in which Reeva Gold
berg was named, the New York police
say that Hansen married Catherine
nine days ago. He was remanded to
Jail until Friday to permit the New
York police to find the third" wife.
"He was a regular sheik," said the
legal wife of the alleged bigamist to-
day. when he went to war, he posed
as a single man, and never made any
provision for me as his wife. 1t was
when he came out Of the army that
he met Reeva. He met her and other
girls at dance halls and somehow they
ALL fell for his line. One day he
came home and said, well, Martha,
your worries are over. Reeva has
married Charles Alberts.' That was
three months before my last baby
was born. did not guess at the
time that Charles Alberts was himself,
but now know it."
| 4As Martha Bloom, tho embittered
wife !. was. married at Kenosha to
Charles Hansen, crane operator and
lineman, July 8, 1915. He was then
90 years old and she 18. They went
into housekeeping, but when Hansen
was drawn into the army she went
to, her parents home at 1877 North
Fremont avenue, and the couple con-
tinued their domesticity there when
Hansen returned from the army.
Four children are living as the re-
suit Of the union, Rae Charlotte, z;
La Verne Ella, A; Ardelle, 3, and
Harry Elmer, twenty months. Mrs
Hansen AYERS that Reeva Goldberg
came across her married life when
Hansen returned from the army. She,
said that she found letters from her
and that she sought to break up the at
tachment which her husband appeared
to have formed with the other woman,
and from time to time thought she
was successful. Mrs. Hansen said
that she heard of the other as a rival
in her husbands affection before her
own third child was born.
i Then she said the straw Of her
patiencs broke when she found among
her husbands affects letters signed
"Reeva" which were lovingly begun
