A BIGAMOUS MARRIAGE WOMAN COMMITTED FOR SENTENCE. (Pei: United Pkess Association.) AUCKLAND, September 21. Charges of committing bigamy and securing money by false pretences were admitted in the Police Court to-day by May Matil Lowden, aged 25. She was charged that on October 13, 1931 being then already married, she went through a form of marriage with Gilbert Samuel John Glass, thereby committing bigamy. The second charge was that with intent to defraud she secured £l3 from a company by falsely representing that a piano was her personal property and uncncumbered. The evidence showed that the accused married a naval seaman in 1929. Later he went to England. The accused met Glass about two days before marrying him. He is a naval petty officer, and left for England about four weeks after the marriage. The accused was committed to the Supreme Court for sentence on the bigamy charge and remanded for sentence on the second charge.
