Escapes Bigamy Charge In Britain Case
Albert Kiefer a Hartford meat merchant faced bigamy charges in Britain but no documentary evidence halted the case. He escaped only to be hit with a non support claim by Margarethe Pohlmann, who became his wife No. 2 before moving to Hartford. Court overruled a statute of limitations demurrer, ruling bigamy valid due to cohabitation. The state said it would nolle the three charges due to evidence gaps.
