Seduction at it's finest?

Dec 12, 1906

Conrad Schmidt, who was arrested in this city on Sunday, charged with the seduction of Katie Hein, after spending a night in the county jail, reached the conclusion that the easiest and best way for him to right the wrong he had done the woman and save himself trouble, was to marry her. Accordingly a marriage license was procured of the county clerk and the prisoner and complaining witness were taken before Judge Benson of the county court, who promptly tied the knot which made them man and wife. This done, the prisoner was released from custody and the two went their way rejoicing.

Nothing says "love" like going to jail and getting married to get out!
