The Way It Should Be Done In the district court, this morning, when the jury was in the box to try Petronilo Jara- millo on the charge of adultery, he and Teresa Lopez somewhat startled all present by the an- nouncement that they had concluded to go about it in the legal way. They were accordingly married by the presiding judge. Subsequently, they pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against them and were duly sentenced to six months in territorial penitentiary, the sentence being suspended on good behavior. — Optic.
