WOMAN HAD TWO HUSBANDS

Two husbands of the same woman appeared before Justice Edgcomb in special term of Supreme Court at Syracuse, Saturday and testimony resulted in the granting of an annulment decree to the second mate, Vernon G. Jeffery, of that city.
Jeffery said that his wife, Mrs. May Pelkay Jeffery, whom he married at Cortland in 1920, told him her first husband, Claude J. Pelkay, of Harrisville, had been killed in an explosion out west. Later, he said, he learned that Pelkay was still alive and had separated from his wife.
Pelkay testified he married the woman at Benson Mines in 1913. He lost trick of her in 1920, he said. Pelkay told the court he intends to sue for divorce if he can locate the woman's present whereabouts.
The two men sat side by side in the court room as they were waiting to testify. Jeffery created a laugh when he said he wanted to examine Pelkay on the stand about several facts. Justice Edgcomb pointed out that that task was up to the lawyer.
