THOUSANDS OF COUPLES
IN WASHINGTON ARE NOT
LAWFULLY WEDDED MATES

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 10.--There
are thousands Qf persons in the state
Of Washington who are not husbands
and wives in the eyes of the law.
However. they honestly believe they
are lawfulIy-we welded mates.
Divorce Proctor c. c. Dalton is au-
thority for that startling statement.
Hundreds of happily-married couples.
he asserts, are guilty of bigamy, and
their children are illegitimate.
"By an opinion of the United States
supreme court, what is divorce in one
state is not a divorce in another. and
what constitutes a legal marriage in
one state is bigamy in another" Dali
ton declared. IF a woman should
get a divorce in the courts of this
state from a man who is not a resi-
dent of Washington, and who Is not
personally served. it is only in WASH
ington that the divorce would be
recognized. As long as She stayed
here, all would be well. But should
she venture out of the state. her for
mer husband could lawfully claim
her as his wife.
And if she married n second time
in Washington. as soon as she left the
state she would be liable to imprison-
'r1ant for bienr1v and the second mar
riage could be lawfully annulled on the
& LINUS tnaL she had never been di
vorced from her first husband.
Another fallacy that technically
many marriages Illegal is the
belief that sea captains are
TO marry. There is no au-
thority for such practice in the laws
of the state of Washington.
ss,rhpse pecllIiarities of the law i'm
many cases make honest marriages, i'm
reality. Illegal. If the letter of the
law were observed, the prosecuting at
torneys could fill the jails with biga-
mists.
