Bigamy
The accused was undergoing a 3mths sentence at Birmingham gaol, when both women going to see “their” husband, the bigamistic marriage was discovered.
The prisoner feigned madness, and, by eating soap, foamed at the mouth.
The electric battery was applied, but it was only after several “shocks” that the result was satisfactory.
At the time of him feigning madness the prisoner sent a letter to his second wife beseeching her, when he was before the judge, not to do more hurt to him than what was compulsory.
