BLIND BIGAMIST.
LONDON. November 28. Pleading guilty to a charge of ' igamy at -Manchester Assizes yesterday Robert Nicholson Edgar, 45, an agent, blind and lame, was bound over ’ v Mr Justice Wright, who said the • ircumstances, on the whole, reflected little discredit on the man. Prosecuting counsel, Mr Malone, said Edgar married in 1903. His wife left him in 1906 and his efforts to trace her ‘ailed, and in 190? lie went through the ceremony of another marriage with L'ertrnde Emily Green. “The woman Green said her voice was worth training.” Mr Malone went on, “ and Edgar sent her to Italy for o I months at a cost of £4O a month. The woman has since appeared on public concert platforms and has broadcast. “ When she left Italy, instead of going to Brazil, where Edgar represented engineering firms, she came to England and wrote letters to Edgar demanding nothing but money. By then Edgar’s business was almost gone. He could send no money, and after 18 years the woman informed the police.”
