ACTOR HAS TROUBLE ESCAPING REPORTERS June Mathis, Thomas Meigh an, George Mel ford Are His Bondsmen , LOS ANGELES, May 20. Ro dolpbo Valentino, portrayer of romantic parts in motion pictures, was under $10,004 bonds tonight on a charge of bigamy filed by the Los Angeles county district at torney's office. Following his arrest arraign ment in the court of a justice of the peace, Valentino made a statement that his marriage to Miss Winifred Hudnut, at Mexi can, Lower California, a week ago today, "was prompted by the noblest intention that a man could have." He said he had been advised that a. marriage on Mexi can soil would be valid, notwlth standing the fact that a year had not elapsed since the time his , firtt wife. Miss Jean Acker, was gitnted an interlocutory decree cf divorce in a Los Angslcs court . Prosecution 1'nssibJe The complaint Tai issued by Deputy District Attorney Tom McClelland upon the receipt of a report of investigators who had inspected the record of the mar riage at Mexican and had located witnesses 'who were prepared to testify that , Valentino and. his bride had passed la3t Tuesday at Palm Springs, a resort in a oasis in a desert section of Riverside county, Cal These circumstances, according to Mr. McClelland made a prosecution for. bigamy possible under the California penal code. A warrant issued by Justice of the Peace Vincent R. Bowser was served upon Valentino in the of fice of District Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine. The defendant was escorted to Justice Bowser's court by attaches of the district attorney's office. His attorney, W..I. Gilbert, announced he would plead not guilty. Refuses to Talk There was a delay of more than an hour while bondsmen were se cured, during which time Valen tino was technically in the cus todr of a deputy sheriff.
