    AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 4. - Mrs. Ronena E. Gaddell, a handsome woman of 40 was brought from Marietta this evening by Sheriff F. G. Kelley to answer an indictment returned at the last session of the grand jury charging her with bigamy. The specific charge against Mrs. Gaddell is that she married Lewis Ford in Akron in 1894 without the formality of having first obtained a divorce from James Gaddell at Marietta, to whom she was married two eyars earlier. It is alleged, however, that Mrs. Gaddell had a husband living at the time she married Gaddell one James Perdue, of Akron and that she has still four other husband in different parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.
     The woman was indicted here under the aliases Perdue, Merrill, Ford and Smith, but he name of the sixth alleged husband is not known.
     Mrs. Gaddell's first matrimonial venture is said to have been with the man Merrill at South Marietta, about 1883, and her second was not until about 1889. She is the mother of six children, and so far as Deputy Sheriff Ralph Hamlin, who has been working on the case, can ascertain, no two of them have the same father, Mrs. Gaddell is also under indictment on a criminal charge in Marietta. She takes her arrest coolly and told Sheriff Kelley that she has obtained a divorce from every man she had married, and expected to prove it. The records, it is said, do not bear out her assertion, Judge Kohler fixed her bond at $500.
