that he lived To be IS wears old. He
had 1000 wives,-l99J more than
enough TO send any other man To an
Insane Asylum. Mulley was the Sui
tan OF Morocco and was fully able to
buy Easter bonnets for his little bevy
of wives and fill their christmas stock
ings with something nice for the
children. Mulley was never threaten,
ed with divorce suit, and was never
prosecuted for bigany. To sum up

had a great biz time on earth, but will
he dead a long time.
