The woman who swore out the warrant was married to RANDOLPH six years ago but she claims he deserted her about two years ago since which time she has made her home with her parents. Wm. KIRBY, father of wife No. 2 was before the magistrate and agreed with the statement of wife No. 1. The wronged woman and mother is only 19 years of age and was born near Cowpens.
