A remarkable discovery has been
made in Connecticut. By an error in
the statutes it is almost impossible to
punish a man for bigamy. It is not a
crime for a man to be married to more
than one woman SO long as he does not
live with his wives. Who knows but
the members of the legislature intended
to have the law read just as it does?
OF course, the women will see that it Is
repealed.
