LIVING WITH THREE WIVES
Tulsa: John Carr has been convicted of polygamy in the district court. Carr's career
as a much married man was extremely novel and interesting. But a boy, he had taken unto
himself three wives and, strangest thing of it all was living with the three in the same
house, the group apparently dwelling together in utmost harmony. The charge of bigamy
under which Carr was tried and convicted was preferred by the father of one of his wives.
The young man take his conviction indifferently.
