A. Witzkoop was printed in a New

overly married. The next day sixty
seven women claimed him as her
"onliest own" This doctor seems to
have married about fifty-eight women

several thousand dollars and after
wards skipping the country. Solomon
and Brigham were pretty swift on the

that they foreclosed on seven lovey-

weeks. Men of ancient times were not
swifter than men of today. Ancient
