TWICE MARRIED TO THE SAME MAN
Last Saturday, m Oakland, Mrs A. W. Pearson, of that place, and J. W. Letfwich, of Sacramento, were united m holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. Dr. Spreclde. About two months ago the bride became Mrs Pearson, having been divorced from the man to whom she is now married, as alleged, . on account of a protracted flirtaton with A. W. Pearson, whom she married as soon as divorced from Mr Letfwich.
