HONEYMOON WAS SHORT.
Mrs. Coppinger Declares the Man
She Married Is a Bigamist.
"I want a warrant for the arrest of my husband, Ambrose Coppinger. He is a bigamist. We were married last April and the following month he deserted me and since then I have learned he has another wife living in Oklahoma from whom he has never been divorced. I have communicated with her and we both want him arrested."
The above information was imparted to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Higgins in Kansas City, Kas., yesterday by Mrs. Mary Coppinger of Rosedale. She stated that Coppinger is 52 years old and was married to his Oklahoma wife in 1875 and lived with her until a year ago.
"Where is Coppinger now?" inquired Prosecutor Higgins.
"I don't know. I only wish I did. I was only acquainted with him a short time before we were married, but our honeymoon was of even less duration."
Mrs. Coppinger was told that until information leading to his present whereabouts was obtained it would be useless to issue a warrant. She promised to try and locate Coppinger.
