East Meets West in Chinatown Bigamy Case Tale
A New York bigamy case features a White husband, an Oriental groom, and Catherine Giblin titled as bride of both races. The tale begins in England with Catherine's first marriage to Jeffrey Olsen, followed by a second marriage to a Chinese restaurant keeper in New York. After disappearances, police involvement, and conflicting charges, Catherine calls both husbands “rats” as the case unfolds. In a separate item, West Bromwich plans 4 200 municipal houses with rents around $225 a year for earners under $1,500.
