Chatting with his second wife and
consulting with his brothers, Victor E.
German, a Los Angeles salesman, yes
terday spent his first day in the Los
Angeles county Jail, awaiting his trial
in the superior court on the charge of
bigamy, brought against him by Dis
trict Attorney Fredercks.
German refuses to say anything for
publication. At least that is what he
says under the direction of his brothers,
but since his Incarceration in the
county jail Friday night he has told his
troubles to many of his fellow prison
ers, and 1t is expected he will testify
very readily when his case is called in
Justice Young's court next week. Ter
man was placed under $250O bail.
Since his arrival in Los Angeles Ter
man has made no mention of his first
wife, the mother of his baby boy. He
has utterly refused to say anything
about her and all his time is taken
up with consideration for the comfort
of Mrs. German, number 2.
His second wife met him at the train
Friday night when he arrived in Los
Angeles. She was at the county Jail
at an early hour yesterday morning,
but was kept waiting while Germans s
brothers and his attorney held a long
consultation and then the young man
was taken before Justice Young and
arraigned on the charge of bigamy.

arraignment He looked calmly at the
judge and at the curious hangers-o -on

and as he seated himself while the
judge was fixing the amount of his
bail he gently pressed the crease of his
trousers in order to keep his neither

but lacks the sweet beauty of the
first wife. Wife number has auburn
hair large dark brown eyes, a fine
profile and neat figure. She was be-
comingly dressed yesterday when she
visited German and the two held con-
Yersation for more than an hour.
The woman appeared nervous and
fldgeted around in her chair and twist
ed her gloves. She talked rapidly, as
IL explaining something to German, and
her gestures indicated a perturbed
state of mind.
AS for the man he sat there with his
head resting on his hand and his hat
tilted back. He looked downhearted,
and when he talked his words came
slowly, and he frequently shook his
head.
Time after time he leaned toward her
and kissed her, but she made no effort
to return the caress or even lift her
veil
Finally deputy sheriff called Ter
man away. 1t was lunch time and un-
less a prisoner is willing to dispense
with his midday meal he must be at
table promptly. German arose at the
call and shook hands with his wife.
That was before the other prisoners in
the room. He then stepped out In the
jail corridor ana into dark corner.
There he embraced his wife, kissing
her time after time and holding her 10
