8. Although I became famous, what is less known about me is that I was a bigamist. I managed to support entire second families without my spouse’s knowledge.
9. With five children and a wife back in the USA, I met two sisters in Germany, and went on to have three children with one and two with the other. A third German lover, a secretary, also bore me two children. I supported and visited all of them. |
