Man, 13 Wives, Would
Marry Every Time He
Felt Need of Affection
Indianapolis.—Isaiah Moore. 32, in
jail here for having thirteen wives, de
clared Tuesday night that he contem
plated becoming an evangelist so he
might warn others of “the dangers of
matrimonv.” as soon as he gets out of
his present troubles, which were in
creasing during the day by the return
of grand jury indictments charging
him with bigamy, embezzlement and
grand larceny.
“My one desire is to lead a Christian
life.” said Moore, who became ac
quainted with most of his wives when
attending church. “I always wanted
to enter the ministry, and so I will be
come an evangelist when I get out. I’m
going to warn other boys.”
The bigamy charges returned by the
grand jury centers around Moore’s
marriage recently to Miss Harriet
Evans, of Mexico, Ind. The indictment
charges that, a short time before he
married aDd deserted Miss Laura
Hertzberg, of Peoria, 111. The embez
zlement and graDd larceny charges al
lege that he took a check for $512 from
Miss Evans and then deserted her.
Moore told the police that in his
original list of eleven marriages he had
neglected to include one at Denver,
where he said he had been married
under the name of James Vaughan, and
also one at Ridgeway. Md., where he
gave the name of Harry Forbes. He
said he could not remember the names
of either of the wives.
“I have always been subject to se
vere nervous disorders. PettiDg and
a (lection have caused my nervousness.
I would get tired of one woman and
would desert her. Then I would feel
the need of affection and get married
again,” Moore said.
Moore is said to have married all his
thirteen wives in the last ten years. He
lived with his first wife but a year after
their marriage, he said.
Monday Moore was supposed to have
married Miss Alma Kofal. of Decker.
Minn., being engaged to her under the
name of Harrv .Johnstone, he said.

Chandlar Pay Limited,
Declares an Old timer
Nenana News.
Frank Glass, well known oldlitner of
this district, returned to town yester j
dav from the Chandlar district, where
ho spent the winter, having left Ne
nana for that region last fall on one of
the last boats for the upjter Yukon.
Glass says there were ;t lot of men
scattered over the district during the
winter and that more real prospecting
was done than in any previous year
since the first discovery of gold there.
But no new pay was uncovered, the
gold apparently heing confined to small
areas on Little Squaw and Big creeks,
where operations have been in progress
during the last several years.
Curley Smith has a good proposition i
on Little Squaw, and the pav on Big
creek is confined to the holdings of O.
J. Nicholson and his partner. Nichol
son sold out to his partner during the
winter.
One of the social events of the year
in that region was the marriage of
Curley Smith to Mrs. Noughton, for
merly of Nenana.
Dry Business Going Too Far,
Says Mississippi Legislator
Jackson, Miss.—“If there’s a man on
the floor of this house who doesn’t like
a drink of liquor occasionally, I’d like
to see the color of his eyes.” declared
Representative Williams, of Noxuabee
countv, in a speech to the legislature
Saturday, objecting to the bill to make
it a feloDy to have, control or know
ingly possess a still or any portion
thereof.
“We’re going too darned far in this
prohibition business,” he said. “Every
man ought to have some rights, but it’s
got so that mighty few are left us.”
