"CAZNEAU'S WIVES--The Dates of His First and Second Marriages. In the item headed 'Suit for Bigamy,' which appeared in the Oakland news in Saturday's CHRONICLE, an unintentional injustice was done to a woman, now dead, and her two children who survive her. The article, which refers to the villainy of Thomas J. Cazneau, a convicted forger, in marrying two wives, stated that Lulu Wilkins, whom he married in Oakland on June 28, 1885, was his first wife. This does not appear to be the case, as the marriage record of St. Mary's Cathedral shows that Cazneau was married to Miss Belle Cartmell by Archbishop Alemany on Dec. 10, 1874. Shortly after the marriage Cazneau began treating his wife brutally, and after several years of marital misery the couple separated, Mrs. Cazneau retaining the custody of three children. / Cazneau, according to the statement of Mrs. Margaret Cartmell, mother of his wife, associated with questionable characters, and in June, 1885, married Lulu Wilkins, with whom he had for some time associated. Mrs. Cazneau, who was dying of consumption, did not become aware of the marriage until the fall of 1887. Cazneau was then under indictment for forgery, and suit for divorce was begun. Mrs. Cazneau died in January, and the second wife, Lulu Wilkins, is living in this city. The children already mentioned are being supported by Mrs. Cartmell, their grandmother, who resides in this city." ~San Francisco Chronicle, Jun. 26, 1888, p. 3
