Baltimore Man Points Out . Few
Facts Generally Overlooked.

As a matter of fact. II is obvious
that more crimes are committed by
married men than by single men. for
the simple reason THAT many offenses
exceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible to the latter.
One such crime is wife murder. How
could a single man murder his wife?
There are T75 wife murderers in the
United States every year. and all are
committed by married men. Again.
consider tho crime of demonicide. or
moiher.in-iaw killing. Its practice is
confined entirely to married men. And
forget not the lesser feionies and mis-
demeanors. How could single man
elope with his wife's sister! How
could he desert his children? How
could he commit bisamy. How could
he iiirt with his wife's maid? How
could he be accused of non-support?
What incentive is there for him TO
