You thought by run ning away to Canada you were safe from our laws , hut you forgot you had committed the crime of perjury , and through this you have been con victed also of the crime of bigamy. It is impossible to show how many women you have married. "You shake your head as you stand there , but you know that this is true , because you have confessed to the de tectives. You are an inhuman mons ter. Yon are an abominable liar. I give you all the law allows.

"Of course , there always will bo Isolated instances of accidents , but it seems to me that when nil is said and done on this subject , the hat pin's value as a weapon of defense to a woman so far outweighs all ar guments as to its danger that this de partment does not feel justified in is suing a restrictive order.
