but the other woman objected.

also that a copy of the Roumanian laws
on this point be introduced Mr.. Steck-
Ter could do neither.
Lechner further denied that his wife
had nineteen children by him, saying
there had been only four. He said that
he was not living with any woman, as
charged, but that she was janitress at
the house, and he was working for her.
He said he did not earn more than $40
