BIGAMY COMMITTED BY WOMAN
RETURNED TO GET IT STRAIGHTENED OUT (P.A.) AUCKLAND, November 13. Worried because she committed bigamy, a half-caste Maori, Jean Mackie, aged 27, returned to New Zealand from the United States “to get it all straightened out.” She told this to the Magistrates Court to-day when she was charged that, having married Anthony Bennett at Otorohanga on September 19, 1938, she went through a form of marriage with Gearge Tascal Montgomery at Auckland on April 24, 1946. ■ Accused said she did not want to marry Bennett, but did so to please her father. She met Montgomery, who was an Indian merchant seaman, and left New Zealand with him in August, 1946. She intended to return to him in the United States. Accused was committed to the Supreme Court for sentence.
