BIGAMY CASE TO GRAND JURY
J. M. Faith and Mr. Mary Welsh
( Waive Preliminary Heariasr
Beforev Jostle Oarcn.
When J. M.' Faith and Mrs. May Welsh,
charged with entering Into a bigamous
marriage, and James E. Walsh, husband of
the woman, charged With abetting and aid
ing his wife and Faith .to commit the crime
of bigamy, were arraigned before Justice
Ouren yesterday morning they waived ex
amination and wera accordingly bound over
to await the action 'of the district grand
Jury, which will meet next month. In de
fault of ball placed at 1600 each they were
recommitted to the county Jail.
A number of witnesses tor the state from
Silver City and Olenwood ' were present,
among ths number being E. Starbuck, tho
attorney whom ths defendants contend ad
vised them that the marriage would be
legnl providing Faith's wife and ' Mrs.
Welsh's husband agreed . tox it. Mr. Btar
bnck was here to testify in contradiction of
the defendants' assertion. The court room
was crowded by, a large number ot expec
tant and -curious persona, who. however,
were disappointed, as no testimony was
titfcen. . . I
The defendants apparently do not realise
the gravity of their offense. Faith sat with
hla lawful wife on one side of him and Mrs.
Welsh on' the other, and during the entire
proceedings In court he kept up a conver-1
satlon, first with on and then with the
other. It la said that the state has secured
evidence showing fhat young Welsh was a
perfectly willing party to Faith marrying
his wife, so he was planning to make a
younger sister of 'Mrs. Welsh his wife.
- Richard Badyi" from whom the Faiths
rented , eighty-three acres of land, has' at

claim for rent.-
