MARRIED FROM PRISON.
A strong-minded young woman visited the Berlin Public Prosecutor a few weeks ago. “My young man,” she said, “is in prison waiting his trial for burglary. But I want to get married, and therefore I beg you to let him out for 12 hours. I promise faithfully to bring him back in good time. The public prosecutor hesitated, but the young woman was so firm that he finally arranged matters for her and the young rhan was released at 8 a.m. next day. Punctually at 8 p.m. a cab drove up to the prison door. Out stepped the young woman in bridal dress and helped out her exceedingly intoxicated bridegroom. “I am sorry,” she said, “to bring him back in such a condition, but the only way to get him here at all was to make him drunk.”
