MARRIED TWICE
+ An architect who was said to have "married" twice in five days was committed for trial at Chichester, states the \"Daily" Herald." He was Hugh Charles Morrison, of Market Square, Bicester, Oxon, and he was charged with bigamously marrying Florence Ide, a widow, of Yapton, Sussex, on March 16. He was further charged with obtaining £300 by false pretences from Mrs. Ide, whom he was said to have met through a matrimonial agency. Mr. C. V. Porter, prosecuting, said that Mrs. Ide owned a general shop at Sparks Corner, Yapton. After she had told Morrison that she could realise approximately £2000, he suggested that they should marry, and turn a large house in Hampstead, N.W., into fiats, occupying one themselves and letting the others. "He promised me £5 a week, and .said I should have two maids to wait on me," Mrs. Ide told the Court. Morrison pleaded not guilty, reserved his defence, and was allowed bail in £600. .
