OtVE'B IS A DIGAMIST.
A Marriage Cerllflcate Produced by the
First Mrs. Owens' Brother.
Limi-kin June 5.—[Special.]—S. P.
Owens is a bigamist. His commitment
trial was held here to-day and the evi
dence was vory clear as to his guilt,
clear that after the state had closed, Mr.
Harris, attorney for Qjjpna, waived
committment and his bond was fixed at
$300, which he was unable to give. He
will remain in jail until October,when he
will leave for the penitentiary. His
brother-in-law, Thomas Ward, of Put
nam county, was the main witness, and
his evidence is substantially as follows:
Owens married MariahWard In 1878
and deserted her about two years ago.
He left her with six children, but occa
sionally sent her money. After he had
been in Cordele rome time, a friend
wrote Mrs. Owens that he (Owens) was
dead, and returned his trunk and other
things which belonged to him. This
happened after he became engaged to
Miss Leila Morton. Mr. Ward bad with
him a certified copy of the marriage
from the ordinary of Jasper county, and
also had a picture of Owens. Owens
still denies the truth of his former mar
riage, and says it is a trumped up affair.
Everyone iiere sympathizes deeply with
the young lady and her family, but are
indignant with Owens.
Miss Morton is still in Anniston,, and
intends remaining there, so Madame
Rumor says.
