In a shocking turn of events, Mary Emma Maulding has filed for divorce from her husband, W. Maulding, citing a scandalous affair that led to his arrest for bigamy. The case unfolded in Meridian, Mississippi, in the early days of March 1916. Mary Emma, through her attorney J.M., initiated the proceedings, exposing the dark truth behind her husband’s deceitful ways. According to the petition, the couple had married on February 2, only to have W. Maulding’s true intentions revealed just three days later. On February 5, he was apprehended for his illicit actions, and on February 7, he pleaded guilty to the charges, sealing his fate with a 10-year sentence at the state penitentiary.
