In the Lynn
Advertiser of 25th January 1907 it was reported :
SMART POLICE CAPTURE
A smart capture was effected on Sunday morning by Norfolk County
Police.......
A man known as William Liddall had kept the Lynn Arms and was wanted by
police on the charge of stealing a mare.
In the course of their enquiries it was discovered that his real name was
Frederick Kirton and that he had committed bigamy by marrying
Emily
Elizabeth Liddall, 4th March 1904. ( see below )
The accused kept a considerable interest in the personal columns of the
Daily Mail
so the police placed an advertisement to appear the previous Saturday....
To Fred, - Have not received letter as promised
Tuesday. Write or wire where to meet Saturday. Dickie wants you. - Nan
Subsequently Mrs Liddall received a telegram arranging a meeting at
Liverpool Street Station at 3:00am as the mail train arrived.
Mrs Liddall travelled to London in the company of PC Walker. He was
disguised with false wig and whiskers.
Kirton was promptly arrested at the station by PC Walker, assisted by
officers of the City police who were in waiting.
Kirton later made a statement confessing that he had married Lizzie Lean
in 1891 at Peterborough Baptist Chapel and that there were 2 children by
the marriage. She had left him 28th January 1896 at a time when he was a
signalman on the Manchester & Sheffield railway.
He said that when he married Emily Liddall he had given his correct name
of Corporal Frederick Kirton of the Royal Garrison Artillery.
Police enquiries were continuing since letters were found in the prisoners
possession addressed to young women in different parts of the country, one
of which asked for a reply through the `agony' column of the Daily Mail.
~
The Lynn Advertiser of 25th October 1907 reported that Mrs Lizzie
Kirton was seeking dissolution of her marriage.
It was recorded that Mr Kirton had met nurse Emily Liddall in 1904 when he
was in the Royal Garrison Artillery serving in Gibraltar. They had (
bigamously ) married at Portsea in 1905 |
