One asked the dge if he vemembered having mar- ried him about a month ago. The judge, after some refleciion, replied that he remembered the circumstance and was aboutto add that ke also re membered that he had never heen paid for performing the ceremony, when the young man interrupted him with the startling intelligence that his com- panion was the husbund of the girl he had married. Matte becoming inter- esting, Judge Spann listenea to an ex- planation of the affair.

Imagine his surprise when he found her wedded to another. This discovery was that_which led to the visit to Judge Spaun’s oflice. The two husbands seemed very friendly with not the least spivit of rivalry L tween them, each appearing willing in fact [ uish his claims to the other, but neither sceming to care par- ticulurly to be the recipient of such un- selfish magnanimity. They then appealed to Judge Spann for asolution of the difficulty. He sug- gested as the best means out of it, to have the woman prosecuted for bigamy. To this alternative hoth of the hus- bands _emphaticaily demurred, Hus- bund No. 2, however, wanted 1t placed beyond her reach to have him arrested for bigamy in the cvent of his again de- siring to" mar Judge Spann sug- gested that the much-married girl be brought to his office. This was done, with ench of the husbands acting as an scort. Though bathed in tears, the young girl, who is ve beautiful, obbed out a confession, without exten- uation, corroborative of the above state- ment of facts, whercupon Judge Sp: drew up an aflidavit which he requested her to sign, acknowledging her fir marriage, and further that she knew her fivst husband was living when sho married the sccond.
