WOMAN FREED OF
BIGAMY CHARGE
CASE . DEVELOPS TANGLE OF
EVIDENCE
Mrs. Thomas or Rice Tells Court She
Believed She Was Really Di.
• ■ vorced from Her First
By order of Justlco Pierce of the
township court yesterday, Mrs. Minnie
Thomas, | formerly Rice, was released
from arrest and the charge of 'bigamy
brought. against her by her first hus
band was dismissed.
The stoYy told by, tho woman and her
second husband In court yesterday* was
a peculiar one, teeming with alleged
forgery, perjury and intrigue, and be
fore the cuse was finished the evidence
had become so mixed and twisted that
even thn representative of the district
attorney's office admitted In court that
he did not think the woman could be
convicted before any Jury In the coun
try. " ■." '•; ,".'';,' , '
About two weeks ago rcdyyard W.
nice, the first husband In the case, ap
plied for a warrant against his wife
und got It. For several days the officers
w«re unable to . trace the woman, but
Dually they managed to set it trap for
her and she was urreste-d on Hast Sec
ond street,'
Since that time thn woman has been
in tho county jail because of lack of
ball money, . -
VoHt^rday Bradford Thomas,' the Eeo
mill liiiHliiinil In the case, proved the
strongest witness in behalf of the wo
man. He Is a pit in tor at Hun Pedro and
was the; woman's; lirst sweetheart bo
fure she met and married Hire.
"1 : married Mrs, Rice on October 3,"
said Thoiiias. "I secured the marrluge
llcenso here in l.»n Angeles and shortly
Hft«»r . that we . were married . at . Ban
I'edro. where we have since been liv
ing. -
"I ■ knew. Mrs. Itlce' before her tlrst
inarriagc. Klu' was it Mis* Mamie

other, l'l«tty well. Klijallv who married
I tli-*-- un Octoht'i- -3, 1001. They lived to-
BathfT ulmuil Ihr* 1 " diiyn und th«-n some
quarrel parted 'them and Rice did not
have anything further to do with his
wife. ... . • . .•
Tells of Tangled Lives
"At last he went to her home one day
and showed her a paper which he said
was a decree of divorce which he al
leged he had secured. The divorce, was
signed by Judge York or was supposed
to have been signed by Judge York, and
If It is not on record I suppose it was.
forged, for I have seen the paper sev
eral times and I am sure it was signed
with ; Judge York's name.
"That was about four, years ago when
I saw that paper and a little time after
that I met Rice in a saloon in San
Francisco and he asked me why I did
not marry Mamie then aa she had got
ten her divorce.
"I met Mrs. Rice agal nwhon I came
to L»os Angeles a- few weeks ago and I,
like all the rest of the people who knew
her, supposed that the divorce papers
her husband had el veil her, which have
since been destroyed by fire in San
Francisco. - We married at San Pedro
and have since been living as man and
wife. As for this prosecution apatust
my wife, I believe It to be an attempt
on. the part of her first husband to se
cure rfivpiijm." '
Mrs. Rice had an even more peculiar
story to tell. She related In court the
story of her marrirage and separation,
find . of Rice giving her divorce papers.
She said that she understood that she
was dlvoced and that eeenUy when she
came to Los Ansreles she. again met
Rlc-ff, who asked her to again live with
him. telling her that if they got along
wel I they could remarry.
They rented a small place on Towns
nvonue and lived there for a while, but
at lust one night, according to the
statements of the woman, her husband
attacked her as she was entering the
house and struck her In the eye. where
upon she fled und again refused to see
him again. Later she had married
Thomas. s . :.\ ■• j
Justice Pierce dismissed tho com
plaint and discharged the defendant on
the ground that deliberate lilßsuny had
not boen proven.

a solicitous police officer who wanted
to see that you 'were not Insulted by
mashers at the late hour of the night,
such was tho experience of A. H. Corn
well, a young L<O3 Angeles society inau
who attended a masquerade skating
party at Hollywood, attired as a be
witching young 1 girl.
Arthur Corn well Is an Insurance man,
employed at the West Coast Insurance

Girls Make Him Up
The young insurance man liked the
Idea and an a result created a furore In
Hollywood . society in a way which
would have caused Harry l*««hr to turn
green with envy. ■ ' I>J|o*Si3*W|!Ma«B
■ The young man wvurwl a hundßomo
blonde wig, tho soft gold wavelet* uf
which looked as though trimmed by tho
delicate hands of some careful girl.
On the night of the carnival two girls
of his acquaintance fastened him into
the dainty : peasant girl's garb. His
; face, .flushed with healthy color, did
I not need much powder or rouge, but
tlie girls put on a touch here and there
to soften tho masculine lines and make
the deception more realistic. At last
tho soft blonde wig was put In place,
h touch of ruching at tho neck helping
out. and a dainty bow of baby ribbon
at the wrist completing the fascinating
appearance, while from below the short
ened Hklrt a. pair of trim ankles ap
peared, »?t . off by small feet neatly
shod In French heeled slippers.
When Corn\£€>il swung a loose cloak
about his shoulders and a delicate
mantilla over his golden hair the ap
penrnnee whs strikingly realistic and
as he walked down tho street, occas
ionally dabbing a speck of powder on
his nose with a lace handkerchief,
there whs more than one chnppie who
turned and smiled and tried to attract
, the attention of the good-looking girl.
I But Cornwall did not see the "pikers"
at all. Ho wub bound for better gamo
' and, he hurried to a Hollywood car.
Conquers All Hearts
As he attempted to mount the steps
of the enr his French heeled slipper
caught on one of the steps and lie
! stumbled. In a moment i.c felt it hand
j clutch his arm with a little squeeze
I and a smug old gentleman whose Bge
ought to have told him better, lifted
him gently up the steps of the car.
"You must be more careful, my dear,
or. you will fall," suggested the coute
on ,In n fatherly way as he hold to
Cornwell's arm and escorted him to
the front of the 'car,
A young chap there ga.vo one glance
at the beauty In distress and he arose
quickly and offered hla s<?at and Corn
well unbluxhlngly accepted It, while
the old gentleman paid hiss car fare and
Insisted on conversing for the ride.
Oh, It was fine for Cornwell to play
Klrl mill every thing wub coming his
■way. ... .
lie strode up the steps- to the main
entrance of the Hollywood skating rink
where the masquerado wan held and
then remembered Just In time and
minced Into the hall, standing atlll (or
II moment for a woman* attendant to
c*ro for hla wrap. Then he stepped
Into a dreptilng room,, donned a pair
of skateo mid ii pinch more of powder
on hla noBA,' fmllled, forth to the ukattng
floor und Hollywood had met its down
fall. For there wag a general ilaili of
the gallants for the pretty little blonde
mask who swung so gently to the
rhythm of the music and who shunned
' till mashers and refused to dancu un
less she was properly Introduced. ■It
Is the lnw of human nature to want
that which seems unattainable) and,
when the young gentleman stars of
. Hollywood society saw the haughty
little miss turn down man after man.
I they spent the evening trying to get
i just one skate and on many occasions
i the demure Corn well granted the favor.
He Was a Reel Killer
One renl estate man. -who Is known
as a "deuce of a clever fellow" and a
"regular devil with the girls," skated
up and with his most elaborate bow
| asked a skate-waltz with the girl. She
■ reminded him of his manners and he
. skated away and got. a friend who had
i recently had the honor .of dnncingr
, with "Miss Nellie Smith" and the real
' estate man was allowed to skate with

I H« slipped his hand caressliißly
1 about tho small waist, took a squint
down at the small ankles and then
they Btarted to skate gracefully nway.
In skating with a girl It Is not neces
sary to pluf-e the arm about Hie waist.
The usual thing Is to hold hnmls rmd

was a real "devil" with the girls and
j he winked at lilh Blower friends with
that' knowing wink. • ;-: • •'>
"Say, glrlio, 1 think a lot of you."
ho remarked, as he attempted to ad
i minister a tender poke into the be-
I corseted riba of tho able <'ornwoll, who
' was ready to faint with suppressed
laughter.
: "I think just a whole lot of you and
pay, I have the biggest, baddest. red
automazoozle you ever saw, and after
the skate let's take a rldo back to Los
■ Angeles for a nice llttlo supper."
Tho tone wag caressing und the musk
leaned nearer und whispered an assent

i dancing with Joy.
I Oh. but she was easy money all
i vlght, and tho real estuto man had to
: tell his BUOCeH to his friends who
! caught another glimpse of the trim
: anklt-B and they tiled the name trick.

j Betrayed by an Act
Hald head or shock head, sport or
piker, rich or poor, this figure of
beauty accepted nil Impartially, looking
with great tender eyes through the
eyehole* of the mask, first at it Bhlny
bald head then at the pleading coun
{ tenance of a youth.
; A prominent banker of Los Angeles,
, who attended with his wife, uleo ad
mired the llttlo skater, until 111* wife
■ with v single glance detected a false
.feminine movement ' when tho dainty
I skater- In starting to. sit down on a
. chair, instead of smoothing aside her
skirts, mado a forward grab at the
skirts as though trying to "perk" up
a pair of trousers to save the knees
from .bagging. '." ; .v
That was enough and the banker's
wife readily bet a boX of candy against
a new fall suit that the much sought
skater was a boy and not a girl.
When the unmasking came there
were cries of consternation, for the
girl whipped her mask from her head
and the wig came with it and 10, there
appeared the close-cropped head of the,
unabashed Cornwell. I
The night was at Its darkest hour
when five men, young and old, stole
quietly out from the skating rink. In
front was the real estate man and he
gazed furtively about as he climbed
beneath the hood of his auto and di
rected the driver to go like a partic
ularly warm place toward Los An
geles. Four other forlorn and dejected
figures • gave the same order and • as
tho autos steamed slowly out toward
the road the doors of the skating rink
swung open, there was a scream of
laughter and the discomfited ones
looking back Raw a laughing face in
the doorway, a trim figure and a neat
ankle. .■. ■ - ■ • .
Wins the Copper's Heart
"Walt a ! minute, fellows," shouted
the voice, "I want to ride | back to
town and get that grub you promised."
"Damns" were freely said under the
auto hoods ns the machines dashed out
in the road. - ■> ■ ■ -
But that was not all. Cornwell re
ceived the first prize of . the: evening,
a delicate stickpin, with a devil's head
set with pearla, and on. his- way home
he flirted with -a young fellow who
Insisted on -paying his car fare and on
buying him a lunch at a Chinese res
taurant. When the chappie proposed
an auto ride the girl . demurred . and
hurried away. . " . ■■■■■: .
At a crorsing on Main street another
chappie attempted to follow her. only
to be sternly rebuked ,by un officer
who walked several 'blocks with:' the
charmer until he was sure «h«. would
get home safely, Incidentally,, he
squeezed her hand at parting and was
glad that he looked . partlsularly well
in a uniform. ■ . j
: As for Cornwell, he is receiving con
gratulations while his friends, want
him to go on the «tuge> as female.im
personator, but Cornwell says insur
ance business will do.
