Not all polygamists reside in Utah
it seems, for it is said that. owing to
the absence of national divorce law
1t is possible for a man to have two
or more legal wives. provided that he
does not allow the two to get together
in the same state. For instance the
laws of one state do not recognize
the divorces granted In a neighborine
state SO If a man obtains divorce and
remarries, then takes wife number one
into the other state xne becomes, In
that state, his lawful wife while in the
state in which the divorce was granted
wife number two is the real and only
cne. II this condition exists. and good
lawyers state that such is the case,
the need for national divorce law is
