Singing evangelist pleads guilty to bigamy in Jersey City
Ida Scofield, known as the singing girl evangelist, admitted at Justice McCarthy's court to having three husbands William Broadmeadow, a Brooklyn conductor, John Wandigan, a Short Hills farmer, and a Hackensack man. She was held on $1,000 bail as a fugitive from justice. Detective Sgt. Clark testified the marriages, performed in Brooklyn, Hackensack, and Newark, and that she had taken about $400 from Wandigan. The case stems from prior investigations by Broadmeadow and Wandigan and follow-up arrests after a Gospel Mission appearance.
