tried to communicate with tho
detective who had tho warrant,
but was unable to do so. Mackey
said that he had beon kept away
by urgent business, hut he agreed
to meet his wife at her home the
uext day.
The ox-judge came at the np
pointed timo and was arrested,
lie was taken to the Harlem po^
lice court and was hold for examination
on the charge of ahand
r-?
onment. He followed Mrs Mackey
to her homo and made this
confession to his wife: "I married
Miss Katherine Porter held,"
said he. "on July 19. I did so i
against my will."
Mrs Mackey was astoundad at
her husband's perfidy, and nearly
lost her reason when ho proposed
a plan to save himself. Ho admitted
that ho loved Miss Porter- j
] field, and had tried to obtain a
| divorce in several states from
I Mrs Mackey, so that he might
marry her. There was a person
in Mrs Mackey's fiat who over,
heard the conversation. Mackey
j said that his second wife did not
i
know ot his former marriage.
"I will go ami see this wonihil,"
said Mrs Mackey, "and
tell her who 1 um. You deserve
to go to prison for bigamy."
Mackey liecame violent at this,
hut when he wsr again calm said:
"I want you, Sarah," sttid the
ex-judgo more calmly, "to swear j
to a statement which I will pre- j
pare now. The gist of it will lie
that you will admit that when 1'
ii arried you you had a husband ,
living from whom you had not'
been divorced. This -ill make
our marriage illegal, and will
save me from going to the penitentiary.
If you will do this I
will not desert you.
After this proposition, it took
some time for Mrs Mackey to ro
cover her senses. Then she said:
"You are a scoundrel, sir: and i
will never sign any paper for you,
Leave my house or 1 will call the
4>' ?
police."
The ex-Judge left, muttering
threats. Mrs Mackey, after consulting
with Lawyer Fiske, decided
to give up the abandonment
proceedings, and start a suit for
divorce. She learned that it was
ber husband's intention to forfeit
bis bail bond and go to Euro|>e
tith his brido and she whs sur- '
risod laet Wednesday by the fol- |
lewing telegram from her hus- j
taqd: i
