11 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, N AY 25, 1898. HAD THIS MAN TWO WIVES AND TWO FATHILIES? Michael Goss of This City Claimed as a Husband by an Innocent Maltese Lady. Said to Have Had Children on Both Sides| of the Sea and to Have Acquired Prop- erty, Now a Bone of Contention. 3 This is the story of a man who | had two wives and two families. One family lived in San Francisco and the other lived in Malta, and neither family knew of the existence of the other. On February 5, of this year, Mich- ael Goss died in this city, and the woman who for thirty-two years had been his wife took out letters of ad- ministration on his estate. | Shortly afterwards the Malta wife, who for forty-seven years had be- lieved her husband would return to his native town, put in her claim to the property through her attorneys, IMessrs. Cormac, Donohoe and Baum. For the first time each wife learned of the other, and it remains for the law to disentangle the knots which | Goss tied with so much finesse. | Neither doubted her husband’s| honesty. | Forty-seven years ago, at about (hn} time England took Malta under her wing, there was a young widow living on the | island, who thus became a subject of | when he was always so good to us? He was so kind and good, and no one can say he was not.

Goss prospered in busi- ness for three yearsand became ambitious to make fortune faster. He decided to come to America. With many fond em- braces he left his wife and three children, | promising to correspond with them and regularly send money for their support. | At that time the civil war was just| breaking out in this country, and Goss, | with several of his friends, were carried away on & wave of patriotic snthusiasm | and ‘enlisted in the nuvy. For a time he was stationed on the lower Mississippl, | trying to run the blockade established | there by the Southerners. When he went | to enlist his knowledge of English did not | exceed the recruiting officer’s knowledge of Maltese, spelling, so to make matters | simpler for both the name was changed | from Antonino Michaele Cassa to Michael | Goss, and as Michael Goss he was known till his death. Goss contracted “black fever.” was In- | valided ancé honorably discharged. | Broken in health, he went to New York. All the money he could get together had | Dbeen sent to his wife to help maintain her | three little clldren—Giuseppe, Gluseppa | and Annunciata—and he was about to | return to the old life in Malta avhen he became acquainted with a _blue-eyed | American girl living in New York with | her rich old father. She, like himself, was | a Roman Catholic. He did not tell her of | the wife at home, but instead won her | affection and made her his wife, as she | believed. The priest, Father Brennan, too, thought everything was all right, for he again gave Goss the full benediction of church, with his own blessing, at the Church of St. James, in New York. Goss could not rest in peace. He was | restless and unhappy; maybe because the ed baby looked at him with the | knew before. Maybe the fight was still in his blood; anyway, he | went into the navy a second time ‘and fought till the end of the war. Then, with his young wife and child, he came | to San Francisco. With the money she | had they bought the home they stiil live There six more children were bor two have been married—and there Mi- chael Goss lay, for two years a paralytic, | by his wife and| daughters during his long illness, and the priest often visited him. He received the full consolation of the church, but his | gecret was buried with him, along with | the good he had done. But “the evil that men do lives alter them,” and now, in her old age, the young girl who married him in New York knows | that she and her children have no hold upon the property they .have helped to accumulate against this very time. It is | & hard and grievous blow to her. | *How could I know except what he told me?” she said, in telling her story. “My | friends came here to the house often when they came from Malta, but | they alw spoke in Maltese, and I could | aot understand them. They were always | pieasant to me. How could I know, eyen | if, as some of them must have done, that he had a2 woman in Malta? | “And Joe, who you say was his son | Giuseppe and not his nephew, he always | called me aunt and my husband uncle. | He lived in our family for two years, and | the children all thought he was only thelr | Foustn, How could he do it—eating our | bread?” Her daughter says the same.
