had child. ODB decided Ucciardo
had too many wives for one soldier.
Unlike most cases of this kind,
ODB said. the Ucciardo case was
handled entirely by the War De-
partment. The investigation was
done by the ODB and the case was
tried in a military court. Usually,
civilian investigators are used and
the cases go to civilian courts.
In this case, the ODB investiga-
tors decided there were no grounds
to prefer charges against either of
the wives, although Rose and not
Betty was eligible for the family
allowance as the legal wife.
Ucciardo, however, added to his
troubles when he went before his
adjutant and swore he had married
only once and that Rose might be
the wife of some other soldier, the
ODB said.
