Henry Walthall is one instance of the harm that can be done by such laws as the present ones. MT. Walthall was married in one state. divorced in an- other. and remarried in another. Now. the state in which he married the last time refused to acknowledge the di
 vorce, and there you are. It should prove an interesting picture that is built upon theme as serious as this.
