HAS HER MARRIAGE TO
DEAD MAN ANNULLED
After His Death Seattle Woman
Learned She Had Another
Husband Living.
A dead man’s marriage lias I icon an
nulled in superior court at Seattle by
judge Everett Smith.
jli-s. Winifred A. Hill, widow of
decree I>. Hill, who died at Victoria,
| ( Septemher 15, liil4, had present
ed n petit ion to have tills marriage de-
ciired void—because, since Ills death
sin- laid learned thut a former hus-
tnml. whom she believed dead, was
alive.
The decree, one of the most peculiar
l„ the annals of the local courts was
j.runted after .1. 1’. Hall, attorney for
Mrs. Hill, had cited a recent decision
,f the slate Supreme court giving au
thority for tlie granting of decrees
making certain marriages void ah in
itio (from tlie inception), even though
olio of the parties to it should he de
ceased.
The facts as testified in court of the
(H-titien were as follows:
The woman had married In the
eighties. She had three children. I let-
first husband died. In 1802, at Nor
wood, N. Y-, she was married for the
scc'iiil time. She and her second hus
band. Myron C. Andrews, lived togeth
er until 1 si Ml, when, as she alleged, he-
cause of ids cruel treatment site left
him.
In l!«i4 Mrs. Andrews moved to _
Calgary, Alta. In 11H>7 slic was In
formed from relialile sources that An
drews had tied.
She remained a widow, or thought
the did. until July 23, 1012, when In
Seattle she was married to George It.
Bill.
After Hill’s death in Victoria, two
years Inter, she returned to Seattle. In
1!il!* she learned that Andrews was
living. She laid the report Invest i-
gated and verified beyond question tlie
Information that he resided in New
York. There was no communication
between them; they remained es
tranged.
But the status of things worried
Mrs. Illll—or Mrs. Andrews. Siie had,
quite innocently, contracted n blga-
mous marriage, to which Hill had been
n party two years, and of which he
had died unenlightened. She consult
ed counsel, and was told that tlie Hill
iuarriage could lie declared void.
Judge Smith's decree restored to
lie woman the mime of Winifred
dell H. Andrews, and made her
gain the wife of the man whose
idow she had supposed herself—the
nan she deserted 25 years ago.
