WIVES WILLING T0 GIVE UP HUBBY Much Mamed Man Says He Meant Well —_— New York, May 5.—%®hree pretty actress wives of Harry A. Newton, an actor, expressed their opinion yester- day of their joint stock husband, after Newton in Tombs court had pleaded guilty to bigamy and confessed he had married all three of them, but “under extenuating circumstances.” Said wife No. 1, Mrs. Florence Ma- deria Newton: “Harry was an at. tractive boy when I married him in Monticello, Ill., ten years ago, but he was very weak. I lived with him six weeks—that was enough. All I want now is for some one to take him off my hands.” Said No. 2; Mrs. Glenn Argoe New- ton: “He is. a moral leper. I gave the ten best years of my life to that man. I gave him my love and woula have done anything for him, but he is | either weak minded or vicious and in | either case should be put away whera he cannot harm other women.' No. 3, Mrs. Iva Edmondson New- ton, sald: “I still lova Harry dearly, | but I don’t think I cohld ever go back to him. I married him and lived with him until three weeks ago, but even if he gets out of this trouble I will not marry him again.” The young man had nothing to say. From his cell in the Tombs, where he was remanded in default of $3,000 bail, he sent this note: “Yes, I have a story, but I am tired out. I will see you tomorrow.™ Just Iike a Stage Play. Newton arrived at the Grand Cen- tral terminal yesterday morning, h ing hastened from Boston in response to a summons from his third wife, Miss Edmondson. All of the wives use their stage names. She and Miss Argoe, the second wife, greeted him as he left the train shed. Miss Ed- mondson threw her arms around his neck. This was a signal for War- rant Officer John Devine to tap New- ton on the shoulder and place him under arrest. Turning to Miss Argoe, ~ Newton “Oh, honey, how could you-do And then to Miss Edmondson: “Little girl, how could you be such a traitor ? The thrice married actor’s down- fall' was the result of a chance meet- ing between Miss Argoe and Miss Maderia in a theatrical manager's of- fice last summer. On comparing notes the wives discovered a common husband. While they were preparing a case against him the third wife appeared. She was Miss Iva Edmondson, of Port Huron, Mich., who ran away with him in September, 1919, and was married after a courtship of five days, exactly five days after New- ton had deserted his second wife. He made Miss Edmondson swear not to tell anyone that they were married. | “As a lover, Harry was a fast| worker,” Miss Edmondson rem-rkedv ruefully in her apartment at the Hotel Grenoble, Seventh avenue and Fifty-sixth street. Newton is 36 years old, but a) much younger and plays ]uvsnue roles. He is tall and slender, with large blue eyes and .dark hair. His wives describe him as an actor off as well as on the stage. Miss Ed-!} mondson and Miss Maderia are blonde; Miss Argoe is a brunette. “To Make Their Lives Clean.” In court yesterday Newton made a dramatic appeal to Magistrate Rosen- blatt. “Your Honor,” he sald, “I plead guilty, but there were extenuating 1 married these girls to make their lives clean.” Magistrate Rosenblatt asked what he meant. ““This little girl,"” he indicated Miss Edmondson. “She took me home to meet her folks, and I wanted to do the right thing, so I married her. I married Glenn (Miss Argoe) during the war. 1 thought if I should go and get killed there would be a widow's mite for her.” Newton was served with papers in double annulment proceedings before leaving the court room. When Assis- tant District Attorney Sabbatino asked for bail to be fixed at $5,000 the prisoner .sald: “Let him rave, your Honor. I can’t raise any bail, no matter how small it 1s." He was held to await action of the grand jury. o= 3 him BERGDOLL CASE HEARING Case Adjourned Until Monday—Wit- nesses Say Judge Wescott Knew of Alleged Buried Treasurer.
