Interview with Prisoner Charged with Bigamy - My name if Floring WHITE. My father, Charles WHITE has been dead since 1861. I am 38 years of age and was born at Fox Creek, four miles from Moncton; have two brothers, Louis WHITE and Francis WHITE who still live at Fox Creek. I married a woman named LeBLANC at Fox Creek, who is my first cousin, 20 years ago, but have not been living with her for the past seven years. The reason I have not been living with her is because I was harassed with debts and bills that I could not meet and I thought if I went away awhile I could get clear of paying some of them. I went to the States first and lived for awhile at Middleton, Conn., as a laborer, and afterwards at Waltham, Mass. where I worked in a planing mill. Then returned to the provinces and stopped for a while at Hectanooga, Digby Co. where I worked in the steam saw mill of Blackadar & Co. and where I got three fingers cut off in a circular; at Grand Lake, Hants Co., where I worked in Amman's Mills; and at Paradise, Annapolis, where I worked in a saw mill of Cyrus Lanza. The last I worked at was Hectanooga and there's where they say I got married. ... My wife was a good woman and we had seven childred ... My name, as I told you, is Floring White, though when I was away, I called myself, John WHITE... (see original)
