BlGAMY BRINGS BALLOG INTO
 LAWS CLUTCHES

"But love my wife in Bridgeport, and don't love my wife in Hungary, judge," pathetically said Frank Bal log, to Judge Carl Foster, in the city court, this morning, in explanation of the offence of bigany for which he was being tried.
 With the greatest simplicity Ballog told the court about his wife in Hun gary and about his two children there. He told of his marriage to the wife in this city, all in the idea that this was a free country in which a citizen could easily be on with a new wife before he was off with the old. The court found itself unable to read a plural marriage theory into the statutes and held Ballog in the sum of H,50e for trial in the Superior Court. Ballog is unable to obtain so much and will wait in jail. The arrest was made upon the complaint of the Bridgeport wife.
