Bigamy Case Put To Next Week

The final witness for the Crown is a municipal licensing official who testified there appeared to be some unusual changes in the application for marriage license and the the license itself.

The application had indicated the husband-to-be who is now the accused had never been married, and then altered to say divorced.

However the clerk testified the method of altering it was not in accordance with standard municipal practice.

As well the change had been initialed as if the clerk had made the change but she said the initials were not hers and she would have remembered because she has never had to make that change on a form.

Defence attorney David Jacklin asked for time to consider case law, and the trial resumes Tuesday.
