SAID WOMEN MARRIED HIM.
Remarkable Excuse Put Forward by
French Eiganist.

{. ts s + { x Z. Is fs-l- ~
AT Versailles, France, recently q
baker was tried on a charge Of polyg-
amy, having married five women,
who are living and undivorced. The
. pentagamist's defense was that he
had not married the women they had
married him. When they proposed
4 he, had not the courage to say no.
Neither money nor love, he said, had
prompted his nuptials; he was the
victim of the stronger Wills Of his
successive spouses. OF the FIVE wives
three appeared as witnesses, but did
not prosecute, saying that their COM
mon husband was a topper Of whom
they were glad to get rid. He was
acquitted-on what ground does not
appear. AS all the years In which
the multiplex husband took wives
were leap years except 1881, IN which
it would seem that in four out Of
the five cases the women had the
right to propose. But the man had
the right, even In the leap years, to
decline, and 1t was up to him at least
to explain to his fair suitors that he
was engaged. To establish the prin-
riple that a man is not responsible
for the number Of his wives unless
he himself does the counting, would
be plainly against public policy. II

all the responsibility on him, no

theory that has gained considerable

The Great Northern railroad claimed
under its original charter it could
issue stock at will and that the law
granting this power to the railway

constitutional. The court holds that is
not the case.
Appeal Now Likely.
The courts direction sustains every
point raised by the state. There were
no questions Of fact before the court
for a jury to determine, they being
admitted and while technically there
should be no further trial on hearing
for an order making the Injunction
permanent, 1t is thought by the attor-

move will be an appeal to the supreme
court to determine the constitution,
atty Of the law and the correctness
of Judge Hallam's ruling. Assistant
Attorney General Stone said the decis-.
ion was one Of the utmost Importance
and that practically the issues of
stock above $30,O0O,0OO as warranted
by the original charter of the Great
