FILED AGIST
LI
Albert C. Norllng, known In this
city as Hart McDonald, was arrest
ed last night by Patrolman Hilton
on a chargo ot bigamy, brought by
j Mrs. Maude Ncrllng, of Kansas City,
Mllisourl, who claims sbo was
wedded by Norllng In Kansas City
in 1907. Local records show that
tho accused bigamist, under thn
namo of McDonald, was married to
Ilornlco Inoz Kmsl In Klamath Falls,
September 30, 1920.
McDonald appeared last night be
foro Justice Gaghugcn and furnished
$1000 bond for his nppenrnnco for
preliminary hearing Friday. Tha
bond was signed by Ed. Propst and
Morris Ilrynn.
Thu first wife camo hern Satur
day night with McDonald's half
brother from Vancouver, Washing
ton. Tho brother, according to tho
police story, wus seeking to
straighten out a family mattor.
llort McDonald said today ho
would faco tho charges. Ho ex
pressed confldcnco that they would
not be pressed. Ho admltn tho Kan
sas City mnrrlago, hut says ho was
only 17 years old and becatno en
tangled through youthful Indiscre
tion with a woman many years his
senior.
McDonald, ho snyw, Is his right
ful namo. Norllng was tho name
of his stepfather and ha has adopt
ed It beforo tho marriage. His first
wlfo, ho says, has been married
slnco thoy separated and ho does
not believe sho will press tho charges.
Thu first wlfo did not know Mc
Donald was married when sho camo
hero. According to McDonald sho
sought to Induro him to leava with
her. Ho refused and sho otforod
him $1000, ho says, if bo would ro
consider. This caused her In splto
to fllo tho bigamy charge.
Tho arrest brings to light tho lack
of co-operation existing In tho po
llco department.
Mrs. Norllng and her hrothor-ln-law
loft on this morning's train
without knowing tho nrrcst had
hcon mado, said Chief Wilson.
In fact tho chief himself at 10
