A MUCH MARRIED MAN
THREE YEARS FOR BIGAMY. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 17. Allen Raymond George and Fredrick WiS liam Seton were sentences to three years imprisonment with hard labour for bigamy.. On George’s counsel asking that the prisoner be admitted to probation, His Honour said that such suggestion was inadmissible. A case of that kind could only be met by a substantial term of imprisonment. George had three wives in three years. The first was a married woman of bad character, and he soon left her, which the Judge said was justifiable, but there was no excuse for him to seduce a young girl, marry her as a single man, and keep her till 1917. In the same year he married the third woman, also deceiving her into the belief that he was single. He also elaborately falsified the marriage registrar.
