Devious are the ways of matri-
mony.
The district clerk in Houston got
his records mixed. They showed a
divorce had been granted when it
was denied.
As a result, a middle-aged bride-
groom found himself in ju.il on a
bigamy charge right in the middle
of his honeymoon.
Wife No. I. on learning her still-
leual husband had married again,
filed the charge, and the husband
of two wives was hauled into court
to do some accounting.
The bride and the bridegroom,
together with their attorney, Byron j
Johnson, convinced the judge it |
was an honest error, and the exam- j
ini trial was reset for a later date '
—on the defendant's promise that
annulment proceedings would be
started ut once.
Meanwhile, the bride ami the
ifray-haired government engineer*
whose divorce was denied because i
his business out of state had kept
him from being a honufide resident,!
must wait a while before contin-
uing their honeymoon.
forts to find him resulted only in
information that lie had died.
The woman gave up the search
and married again. The judge de-
clared the first husband dead prior
to .the time of the second mar-
riage.
