Wife Exonerates Bigamist Husband In Police Runaround
A wife initially identified as Mrs Frank J Lawrence in Omaha turned over concerns to police. Investigations traced Frank J Lawrence from Centerville to Creston where he was arrested on bigamy charges with Adele Nichols. One wife refused to testify, leading to his release, while another wife pressed county officials with a sworn statement linking him to a 1916 Kansas City marriage. The case details intertwine with a highway survey in southwestern Iowa as road projects advance.
