At the trial the judge declared that Bernadette was legally married to Mr. Philipp Markert, for the marriage had not been annullod. If, for example, she should win at sweepstakes, Mr. Markert could claim his share, The Judgo smilingly declared that he was entitled to all other rights due as a husband. All this didn't provent his passing the sentence of one year in prison for both, although they implored that they had damaged no one. But the Judge did not stipulate that the prison terms had to be served in different jails. Even the Judge did not want to be that cruel.
