Marriage-M iscegnation. A mis-

Maine prior to the revision of tae

valid in Maine, contracted else
where in evasion of said laws by
parties domiciIed in said State

absolutely void.
Miscegnation is also prohibited
in California, and has been since
1880, at least; marriage thus con-
tracted being illegal and void.
But California follows the lex loci
contractus, and if a marriage, void
by its laws, is nevertheless valid
where contracted, The courts hold
snch marriage TO be valid III Cali
