Confesses That He Has Married Five Women Since 1900. Yonkers, N. Y., Oct. 26. —Jacob Tremper, under arrest for bigamy, in a confession gives the names of five women he married since 1900. “I could keep on telling you of my matrimonial experiences,” said he, “but the fact is I have so many more wives beside those I told you about that I can’t keep track of them. I have actually forgotten the names of some of them. “My first wife was Elizabeth Wilson. I married her in 1866. She was the mother of seven of my children. I left her because she nagged me half to death. “My favorite wife was Mrs. Susie Meyers. I married her in Maryland. My first wife had me sent to Jail for seven years for bigamy. When I wa§ released I went In for wholesale matrimony.” Camden, N. J., authorities are to pm Tremper on trial. It is charged he deserted a wife there.
