Union Republic
In July, 1919, Herman T. Brightwell married Elsie Sizer of Reidsville, and after two children had been born to the couple, he deserted her. In 1923 he married a Richmond girl, Helen Mansini. The two wives chanced to meet a few days ago and comparing notes, found they had the same husband. But before he could be arrested, Brightwell disappeared. Not satisfied with two wives, he wanted a third one and wrote to a Richmond girl from Tampa Fla., asking her to join him. She turned the letter over to the officers and Brightwell was judged and in the next few weeks will be sent up for bigamy. He is only 29, says he is guilty and ready to take his medicine.
