A charge Of bigamy be pressed only by the
state in which bigamy committed. And Con-

not been legally committed unless a bgamOus mar

AS far as Connecticut is concerned, Andrews has

True. Connecticut has issued warrant charging
Andrews with bigauy and perjury. but lawyers say
that the bigamy charge won't hold.
