J. L, Wimbish Admits Having Wife
in Birmingham, but Denies
Marrying Miss Mann, |
Amazing marital complications have
come to light with the arrest early
Tuesday morning of J. L. Wimbish,
24 years old, of 777 Ashby Street
at the request of the mother of Miss
Ella Kate Mann, IS years old, of East
Point. Mrs*. Mann charges Wimbish
with having committed a bigamous
marriage with her daughter.
Wimbish eloped with Miss Mann
last December. Since then a vain,
country-wide search has been made
by relatives of the girl. Not until
Wirrfbish reappeared in Atlanta were
the police called. Then Wimbish was
arrested and confronted by .Mrs
Mann, who demanded the where
abouts of her daughter. Wimbish re
fused to tell, but stated he knew
where she was and would bring her
to Atlanta as soon as he could dis
entangle # himself from the meshes of
the law. *
Wimbish Denies Bigamy Charge.
While Wimbish denies he is married
to Misy Mann, that charge has been
placed against him by Mrs. Mann,
who avers he has a wife in Birming
ham. It was because of that fact
which she declares Wimbish admitted
to her last December, that she ob
jected to his attentions to her daugh
ter.
Wimbish Tuesday morning admitted
again he had been married before he
met Miss Mann. He declared, though,
he had been separated from his wife
two years, and, while they had never
been divorced to his knowledge, she
had remarried.
"I love Ella,” said Wimbish, ‘‘and
I'll marry her as soon as I can de
termine my marital status with my
former wife.”
"My former wife was Ola May
.Tones, of Atlanta. In 1909 1 fell in
love with her. Her parents objected
to the marriage, so we eloped. Her
folks had me arrested- Then I mar
ried her and we left the city, but sep
arated May 13, 1909. She went • to
‘Birmingham and married again, I
hear. Whether she got a divorce or
not I don't know. 1 was never served
with any papers.
Got in Trouble Again.
“Later I got into trouble with an
other girl and was again arrested.
•When released 1 came back to Atlanta
and met Miss Mann. When 1 told
iVfrs. Mann 1 had a wife in Birming
ham; that we had separated and I
guessed were divorced by that time,
she told me not to come about her
daughter again.
“To do this was impossible. T loved
Ella and she loved me. We met se
cretly and planned the elopement. 1
told her we would get married just as
soon as l could find out how I stood
with my w ife: that 1 thought we were
divorced.
Arrested on Return.
“Ella and 1 left Atlanta December
14. 1912. We traveled all around the
State, but did not go outside of the
Georgia boundaries. Later I decided
to come back to Atlanta and see if I
could not get work to support us un
til things could be straightened out.
I had no sooner set foot in this city
than I was arrested.”
Wimbish says Miss Mann is happy
and living in a nearby town, though
not as his wife. According to G. N.
Bullock, the policeman who took
Wimbish into custody, the prisoner
stated at first he had three wives.
Wimbish denies this.

Start Them Off Right
with a Good Laxative
and Then Watch
Their Diet.
At others are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per
sons. Hence, avoid what seems to
constipate the child or to give it
indigestion, and urge it to take
more of what is quickly digested.
if the child shows a tendency to
constipation It should immediately
be given a mild laxative to help the
bowels. By this is not meant a
physic or purgative, for these
should never be given to children,
nor anything like salts, pills, etc.
What the child requires is simply a
small dose of the gentlest of medi
cines. such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which in the opinion of
thousands of watchful mothers is
tiie ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a
constipated child that care is nec
essary. Colds, piles, headaches,
sleeplessness, and many other an
noyances that children should not
have can usually he traced to con
stipation.
Many of America’s foremost fam
ilies are never without Syrup Pep
sin. because one can never tell
when some member of the family
may need it. and all can use it.
Thousands indorse it, among them
