THREE WIVES.
RECORD OF ONE A YEAR. MAN SENT TO GAOL. By Telegraph—Press Association Wellington, Last Night. Allen Raymond George and Fredrick William Seton were sentenced at the Supreme Court to-day to three years’ hard labor for bigamy. Gn George’s counsel asking that prisoner be admitted to probation, His Honor said such a suggestion was inadmissable in a ease of this kind, which could only be met by a substantial term of imprisonment. George had three wives in three years. He first married a woman of bad character and soon left her, which the Judge said was justifiable, but it was no excuse for him to seduce a young girl and marry her as a single man. He left her in 1917 and the same year married a third woman, also deceiving her into the belief that he was single. He also elaborately falsified the marriage register.
