GUILTY OF BIGAMY
COMMITTAL FOR SENTENCE.
(By telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, 31st May. Arthur Julius Theodore Winter Branstead, aged 53 years, pleaded guilty in the Police Court to bigamy, and was committed for sentence. He married Ivy Lowo in Juno, 1919, under the name of Arthur Winter. They lived together until 1921. He was previously married in May, '1915, to Lucy Hayes, who, he alleged, deserted him soon after the ceremony. He had been in prison under sentence of twelve months, and had been declared an habitual criminal. When he came out of prison he was told that his first wife died during the epidemic in 1918, but he did not trouble to inquire regarding the accuracy of the statement.
