Grand Jury May indict
Thompson for Bigamy
Savannah, Ga., May 13.—Had Pe
ter J. Thompson, seventy-one years
of age, who returned to Savannah a
month ago after forty-seven years’
absence to find his wife married to
another man, again left his former
place of his abode, his life would
have been very much like that of
Enoch Arden in the poem by that
name by Tennyson. But the elapse
of years had made a difference with
this man’s feelings toward his first
wife and he, tco, had chosen another
mate for the remainder of his life.
The second marriage of Mr. Thomp
son was the result of a renewal of
a childhood courtship which had
been broken off by the misfortunes
of war. The courtship was renewed
upon his return to Savannah, and
he was married to Mrs. Anna Wil
son. But another question has been
brought out by the marriage which
may result seriously for the old man.
According to the laws of Georgia
the second marriage of the man is
not legal, and his wife, although
married to another man, is living at
Blitchton, Ga. He announced the
fact that she was living when he
returned to Savannah. The second
marriage of his wife is legal, as the
contract was made under the belief
that her husband was dead. In the
case of the man, however, it is ille
gal and he is liable for prosecution
for bigamy, according to Solicitor-
General W. G. Hartridge.” The grand
jury may take some cognizance of
this case at the next meeting.

’ Tommy’s Ghost. .
Tommy sat upon the fence watching the pigs as they scrambled
for the corn which his aunt was ¢iving them. His face was puckered
into a discontented frown as be figitted uneasily on the fence finally
he said, Aunt Margeret is there any such things as ghost~#” His aunt
turned upon him sharply and replied, ‘‘Naw» boy who has been putting
such stuff in your head?” “Old Aunt Mandy,” be answered with &
startled expression on his young face. *Well, drawled his annt, that
old busy body simply lied.”” Saying this she picked up: ber bucket
and went into the house leaving Tommy to think ever " what she. had
just told him. - o i T
While he sat there musing Johnny Rowell came along slinging s
tin bucket in his hands at some stray weeds which grew _ on. the read:
side, finnally he spied Tommy ' sitting *discontently on the fence,
‘“‘Hey old man what your doing, counting the lice on them brut.es{
¢“Naw I ain’t John Rowells” he replied coolly. ** Well don’t fly oft the
hinges about it I was just joking,” said the mischief maker as he
crawled up beside Tommy who had pulled bis hat very low over his
eves to prevent Johnny seeing them. A :
“Well Tom, said John who was bound for some kind of conver
sation, have you ever been through them woods at sunset? ‘‘Well if
you aint, as he noticed the indifference of his companion, you shore
better not ‘‘cause if yer don’s want to get killed or skeered mouty
bad, you better take my pervice” he said trying to look wise. ‘‘Pshaw
said Tommy, aunt Margret said there were no such things as ghosts.”
“Well your aunt Margeret don’t know everything no more than I do,
but one thing I do know I sho’re saw a great big white duck one time
and it didu’t have no sign of a head, no hit shore didn’t. Saying this
he serambled off the fence for he saw his mother in the distance and
knew that he would not receive much mercy from that individual if
he was seen loitcring by the way-side,
After Johnny’s abrunt departure Tommy sat trying not to be
lieve what Johrny had said, But being of a superstitious nature and
having heard of several murders being committed at the said place he
was half inclined to believe what he had heard in spite of his aunts
warning. b
Just a few minutes after Johnny’s departure Silas the hired man
came along in a wagon on his way to town and seeing Tommy called
out, “Tom your mother wants you to come home immediately as she
is afraid to stay hy herself tonight and your Pa can’t be home until
late.” So saying he gave the horse a strike with the whip and was
soon out of sight.
“Yes and I have got to go through those woods too,” he thought,
A kind of fear gripped at his heart but of course be must go home,
But frightfu! thoughts would pass across his mind instead of all the
courage he imagined that he possessed. sk o Lo
“Tommy if vour afraid to go home by yourself I’ll go with you,”
whispered Nannie twining her soft white arms around his neck., *‘No,
No. excliimed Tommy pushing her from him, ’m not afraid, whas
ws there to be nfraid of I should like to know?” And with a proua
ur Lo stoode off down the road. Tommy was only eight years old
it only ehild of an affectionate father and mother, 'The Sun was
fust setiing throwiog golden lights over the landscape, Tommy rea
lized that at this time the ghost was supposed te make his appearance.
“‘Wonder how is the best way to get threugh that swamp,” he
mused. Then his face brightened asif a new thought nad struck
him. “Yes I shall just close my-eyes real tight and then I'il not see
any ghost if there should be one.”
Tommy’s beantiful mother sat in the parlor working on some em
broidery ond was the picture of distress. Opposite her sat old aunt
Mandy with a large bundle of newly washed clothes.” Can’t imagiue
what is keeping Tommy aunt Mandy, can you!” “I am really alarm
ed as his long absence. He should have been here an hour ago” said
Mrs. Marshall looking down the road in the direction which Le was to
come* Her lovely brown eyes were fast filling with tears. *‘Now
Misses you jert bhol’ on I’ll hunt dat chile and P’ll fetch bim mouty
quick too,” hastened the old negro as she felt to malke sure ber red
bandanna handerchief was fitted properly on her wooly locks. ““Oh 1
sure wish you would aunt Mandy, Sobbed pretty Mrs. Marshall,
«“Now Misses you jest hush up dat crying ’cause ole Mandy neber did
fail in any thing she undertook, and I’se gwine to bring dat chile,”
said the large old negro as she put the enormous bundle of clothes on
her head, Mrs. Marshall sat with moist eyes watching the old negroes
progress. Old sunt Mandy picked her way carefully over rocks on
the road, as she hastened on ber wav. ‘Dot Tommy ought to
be spanked dats what he ought, causing all diss ‘sturbance,” muttered
the old lady as she journeyed on her way. By this time she was
pearing the swamp. ““Now I don’t ’zaetly. lak to go shrough das
swamp but I’se done and tole Missis I would sarch tor dat youngur
and now I’se got hit to do, “‘said aunt Mandy to herself as she con
tinued to hurry on betore it grew very dark, ‘“Now I jes’ don’t lak to
oo through swamps wid my eyes wide open so'1" am gwine to snet
;::m.” Saying this she put her words mto action, but her progress
was very slow indeed ‘Dese closes'is shore gitting heaby,” she took
her long bony arma from the clothes which seemed to represent a
mountain over ber head. . 4 .
At that moment a sbarp blow struck her in the abdomen, send
ing her sprawling in the middle of the road. The clothes were falling
in every direction, She presented a frightful picture indeed. “For
de Lawds sake! What wuz dat?’ exclaimed aunt Mandy as she
scrambled to her lknees in time to see 2 little boy ranning with al his
might. “Oh! good Lawd please sabe old Mandy Ise been a mouty good
niggah and D’ll shore be a better one ef you will jest sahe me dis time,’’
prayed the old negro, Truth. finally dawned on the old negro and the
began hunting her clothes which were strewn all over the road, ‘“Hit
wuz Toumy, ‘dats ‘zactly who hit wuz.,” ‘‘He ought to be shame er
his self upsetting a respectful colored woman lak I is.” “His Ma
show ought to spank dat boy tell he is blistered,” In about fifteen
minutes all the clothes were picked up and she started home. By this
time Tommy bad reached home and was completely out of breath.
Mrs. Marshall was crving and asking questions between tears. Tommy
was talking 2xcitedly bis big eyes shining as he went on with his
parrative, ‘- Yes Mamma a ghost came very near getting me I just
had to scramble out of its arms,” he was saying as old aunt Mandy
came hobbling up to join in the conversation,
