TRIED ON MANY CHARGES;
CONVICTED ON ONE.
liftinbridge, tin , Dec. I —A. P
Oliver, th>‘ former hanker of t.’li
max, today wa* found guilty nl
bigamy in Decatur Superior Court ,
and was sentenced by Judge F.unfc
Park to servo lour year* in the
penitent iniy.
The charge against the now In
iuoiis prisoner came of In* mar
riage to Mi** KoHehuil I l .nglish ot
Climax, whom lie wedded within
a tew week* after lie started on
In* meteoric career in thi* county.
It wa* asserted that ho already
had a wife, whom lie married
while she was attending an art
school m Atlanta in IfKUi.
Strangely enough, it wa* not
upon any of the charges that were
brought iignin*t Oliver because of
his operations in banking and
lumber ami building industries in
flit* section of tlie state that sen
tence against him was pronounc
ed, though thi* part of Ins career
here wa* more largely stressed.
Thus far the grand jury Ini* fail
mi to tind a single indictment
against him for any of hi* opera
tion* in the business life ot the
little community that In* startled
almost « year ig iby In* announ
cement that lie wa* a millionaire,
and meant to “build up South
Georgia,
The principal witness against
Oliver to-day wa* Mr*. >l. T
Hodge* of Atlanta, a sister ot the
woman who, it •* said, was Ins
licit wife. Mrs. Oliver No. I did
not appear in the court room dur
ing the trial but In-r story was
told by the sister. Tin* latter
stated that Oliver was known as
L. Charles Harding in Atlanta
and that her sist-r was married to
bun under that name.
Oliver’s defense was that he ha*
a i win brother and that »t was
this brother Mr*. Oliver N> l
wedded. Tlie jurv was out but a
•bolt time after lieing given the
C.a*e. It was staled today that
Mrs. Harding or Oliver bus al
ready obtained a divorce. “
Oliver will tight for hi* freedom
and will appeal from the verdict.
