8 s nn pi HLui p nnnv HUH ID iiLHUI TO FACE ACCUSERS "Brides" to Press Bigamy Charge at Chicago. THIRD WIFE ANNOUNCED Toe Dancer of Seattle Claims to R only Really, Truly Mate; En dearing Letters Given Out. Still sullenly silent concerning his tangled marital affairs, but confident that his father, a rich packer of Ne braska City, Neb., will come to his assistance in a financial way. Glen T. Aldrich, ex-ensign. United States navy, announced his readiness yester day to return to Chicago to meet his accusers without further delay. John Cartan. detective sergeant of the Chicago police department, ar rived in Portland .yesterday armed with extradition papers for the re moval of Aldrich to Chicago. Aldrich assured the Chicago detective that he would return without trouble. They will leave tomorrow. With the arrival of Sergeant Car tan, further interesting insights into Aldrich's romantic career during the last few weeks were brought to light. Two angry and heart-broken brides are awaiting his arrival in Chicago in order that they might have him prosecuted for bigamy. AeciiMTB Are Many. Numerous Chicago firms, including department stores, taxicab companies, hotels and cafes, also are ready to appear against him for passing bad checks, which Serjgreant Cartan says aggregate more than $4000. Aldrich admits passing the bad checks, but insists his mind is still a bit "hazy" concerning his bigamous marriages. While the Chicago police have lo cated two brides whom Aldrich mar ried within nine days of each other, another woman has just stepped for ward to present herself as the only really, truly" wife of the dashing ex naval officer. Toe Dancer Alleged Ilrlde. The woman who says she is the third wife of Aldrich is Kathleen Els mere, a toe dancer, now playing a cabaret in Seattle. She told the Chi cago police that she married Aldrich back in 1914. just before he went to war. "I first met him in the orient." the Seattle "bride" is reported to have told the Chicago police. "We became friends and then sweethearts. Great heavens, how that man could love!" Sergeant Cartan yesterday revealed a few high lights of the whirlwind courtship which Aldrich prosecuted to win the hand of Lillian Dombrow, 18-year-old society girl of Oak Park. 111. He had known the girl but a week, but by wearing the uniform of a lieutenant-commander of the navy, and with glowing stories of his bravery during the war, he won the love of the girl and the confidence of her parents, and the wedding took place at the "bride's" home on September 28 last. Letters Reveal Confession. Although Aldrich. since he has been in jail in Portland, has consistently denied knowledge of his marriage to Lillian Dombrow, which took place nine days before his marriage to Es ther Carlson at Great Falls, Mont.. Sergeant Cartan brought with him copies of letters which Aldrich had written to wife No. 2, or Mrs. Esther Aldrich. since he has been in jail in Portland. In these letters Aldrich makes a full confession of his mar riage to the Dombrow girl. The letter, written from the Port land city jail to Mrs. Esther Aldrich, began. "Darling Star of my life." and then launched into 14 pages of en dearing terms. Toward the end it contained a repudiation of his mar riage to Miss Dombrow. The letter reads: "I do not love that girl. She was but a nightmare in my life a figure in a drunken revelry. T met her one night at a party. I had been horribly lonesome for you and drank rather heavily. Meeting at Midnight Frolic. "We first met at the Midnight , Frolic, then Oolosimo's, then the Mari gold i.araens. as we entered tne lat ter place the spotlight accidentally fell on us. 1 happened to be at this girl's side. "The orchestra struck up the wed ding march. Everybody in our party laughed and looked at us. The, whole room looked and laughed. We laughed, too. 'Tons of champagne followed. Then I recall somebody saying'How about a wedding breakfast?' I don't re member what happened next. But when I awoke 1 found I was married to this girl I didn't even know her first name." The letter then goes on to tell the "bride" that he was "fired" from the Allied Packing association under a cloud because of alleged padding of accounts and falsification of records. Accountability la Denied. "But I don't know anything about those charges." he states in his letter. "1 was drinking heavily and a man under the influence of liquor is not accountable for his actions. But as soon as I get straightened out here I'll make good on that." At the close of the letter, Aldrich pleaded with bride No. 2 that she tel egraph him $250 at once. According to Sergeant Cartan, who interviewed both wives before com ing to Portland. Aldrich sent them letters and telegrams by the dozen, always protesting his undying love. and always asking ror money. It also was learned that even while Aldrich was en route to Montana to marry his second wife, he was writ ing to wife No. 1. whom he left in Chicago after a two-day honeymoon which was paved with bad checks. Letter 1 Produced. Just about the time he was getting a marriage license in Great Kalis to marry Esther Carlson, he wrote a letter to Mrs. Lillian Dombrow-Ald-rich. A copy of this letter, was pro duced yesterday by the Chicago de tective, and reads as follows: "Dear Lillie: I am deeply in debt, more than $12,000 in the hole. Our marriage was a terrible mistake. Please have it annuled. I am not worthy to see you again. Perhaps, some day in the 'Great Beyond' we will mrjet again. Do not expect to aee m far at least four or five years, lours. Olen." Although wife No. 2, whom he married at Great Falls, at first an nounced she would stay by her hus band through all his trouble and in spite of his dual marriages, she has since suffered a change of heart and will assist wife No. 1 in prosecuting him for bigamy, said Sergeant Cartan. Fnthrr'i Aid Looked For. In another letter to wife No. 2, also written in the city jail here, Aldrich expresses hope that his father will assist him in straighten ing out his tangled affairs. "I wrote dad and asked him for fin ancial help ar.d figured I could get my financial affairs straightened out without having to worry over them," he wrote her. "I have not yet gotten into close touch with him, so do not know Just how far he will go in help ing me. Until I can get lined up with him I am lying low, dearest, and not communicating with anyone in Chicago. "As to the photo which was pub lished, you know, honey girl, where everyone of those pictures went, and that I had none left. I don't know where the photo came from. I surely would not give one of yours and they are yours, sweetheart to any one without vour TiermiKsion. Now dearest, as to that alleged marriage. i guess, toney, it is true. Marriage Held Forgotten. "But on my love to you, at the time I married you I had no idea or recollection of ever having gone through the ceremony. "I met a Dombrow but it seems to me her name was or is Louise. As near as I can recall I met her on a wild party one night just a few days two or three before this wedding. The whole thing is hazy to me." The letter closes in this manner; ? "Now, honey girl, all this happened before that wonderful September day that I married you I I love you I With you, anything! Any place! Anywhere! Without you, nothing! "Your broken-hearted but still hope ful husband, dearest, and I am your husband yours and yours only CLEMENCY REFUSED 3 TAYLOR 3 Governor Olcott Declares None Will Escape Gallows.

Drunkenness Is Denied. According to Sergeant Cartan, wife No. 1 registered deep, indignation when she read this letter which Aid rich had written to wife No. 2. "She told me that he was not drunk when he met her and married her." said Sergeant Cartan. "She told me that he came to her house frequently during that week's courtship and met her parents and friends and seemed every inch a gentleman. They were married at her home." After the two "wives" began to compare notes and missives, they both decided they would assist in tne pros ecution of the handsome ex-naval of ficer. It was wife No. 2 who swore out a warrant charging Aldrich with desertion, while wife No. 1 first gave the Chicago police the information which led to his arrest in Portland ten days ago. While Aldrich is to be returned to Chicago tomorrow, the Chicago police are still investigating the claim of the cabaret dancer in Seattle that she is the first and only legal wife of the much-married young man. . 1912 Marriage Reported According to statements she is said to have made to officials, she was married tp Aldrich on February 11, 1912, at the Sacred Heart church, San Franeisco. She also says that she re ceived his allotment while he was an officer in the navy during the war and kept getting it until last De cember. The Seattle "wife" also v says that her husband was always in need of financial assistance during the time they were living together and that in dulgent parents always answered his appeals for funds. "They never failed him when he called on them for funds," she is re ported to have said. "While we were in the orient he would cable again and again for funds and always got what he asked for promptly." Although Aldrich has consistently denied that he wore the uniform of a captain or lieutenant-commander while in Chicago, Sergeant Cartan says it was the uniform of a lieutenant-commander which lured the Dom brow girl into marrying him, and a picture of him in this uniform was published in Chicago newspapers at the time of his first marriage. While in Portland he made himself a cap tain in the navy by the simple process of changing the bars and other insig nia of the uniform. - I m -- -4 i -v. -ST -V' - s if.

FIE TRUCK BID HELD UP RECOMMEND ATI OX OF COM MI SSI OXER BIGELOW FOIGHT. Delay Caused by Request for More Thorough. Investigation; Two . Companies Make Offer. Opposition to the recommendation of City Commissioner BIgelow for the purchase of an American-La France type of aerial fire truck, in preference to lower bids offered by the Campbell Fire Equipment com pany, yesterday caused a delay in the award of the bid. A meeting has been called tomorrow to settle the controversy. City Commissioner Mann urged that a delay be caused in order that a thorough investigation be made. Mr. Campbell contended that his truck conformed with the specifica tions in addition to being offered at a lower bid, whereas the truck of fered by the American-La France company did not conform to the spec ifications. Commissioner Bigelow contended that Mr. Campbell misin terpreted the specifications and also contended that his recommendation for the American-La France product was upon the solicitation and rec ommendation of seasoned fire of ficials, who handled the equipment. The question of a new aerial truck for the Portland fire bureau has been a source of worry to Commissioner ! Bigelow for several months. The money for the purchase was appro priated almost a year ago. Umatilla county, will receive any clemency at the hands of Governor Olcott. This was made plain here today i following receipt of a letter at the executive offices from Rev. W. H. Cox, a Baptist minister at Pendleton, urging that Hart be spared from death on the gallows. "I wish to advise that no clemency will be extended by this office to Hart. Owens or Rathie," said the gov ernor's letter in reply to the commu nication received from Rev. Cox. "I sincerely appreciate your attitude in this mater, but in justice to the peo ple of the state these sentences should and will be carried out according to law and the verdict of the juries who sat in the cases." Life Term Is Asked. A "I am writing ypu to know if you can and will reverse the sentence of Hart to a life sentence." wrote Rev. Mr. Cox to Governor Olcott. "I know he and he alone murdered our good friend Taylor, but the man is a mental -defective and has been so fjom boyhood. Secondly, he is not physically sound, his anatomy is in complete, so our present sheriff tells me, and this condition alone would affect him. Then again, I am diamet rically opposed to capital punishment. 'Thou shalt not kill' is as true to a nation, a state, a county, a city, a town, as it is true to a person. "Then again, our city was bo in censed and infuriated and somewhat intoxicated with the frenzied condi tion that there is every reason for me to believe that had this case been tried by another county nothing more than second degree would have come against Bancroft, alias Hart. ; Prejudice Is Charged. "I believe that grand jury, prose cution and judge all suffered from this condition, and probably did not realize that they were in any way under its influence, but I feel sure they were. Now do you ask, how did I escape it? Well, I was in Can ada when it all happened and left on the Wednesday before it happened and did not return until August 2 and did not hear of it until I returned, or I perhaps might have gotten the same condition.
