"There I slept the first night, and the next morning I
was on my way to Cleveland, and started a nice practice
with the $150 I had left. I paid the balance to my friend,
Badillo, and inserted an 'ad.' in the Plain-Dealer.
"I had two answers to my 'ad.,' and selected a Mrs. Moore,
a nurse, and a Mrs. Kreidman. I got from the nurse $100,
and was making love to Mrs. Kreidman and Mrs. Moore, when I
got a letter from wife No. 3, with whom I corresponded all
the time, telling her I traveled for a firm.
"So I left, and forgot that I left in Cleveland a paper
under the tablecloth which had my address in Brooklyn. One
morning (ten days after I left Cleveland) two detectives
came to the house in Brooklyn and arrested me. As there
was no bail for my offense (obtaining money under false
pretenses), I returned to Cleveland a week later, and there
I married a bad woman in jail, Mrs. Kreidman.
"She gave $200 bond, but I left her four days after, as she
was a bad woman. I slept one night at her house, and three
days after I went to Chicago and went to see a matrimonial
agent at 55 Washington street.
