From the November 30, 1940 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“Dunn, N.C.–A young woman, giving New York as her home address, strolled into police headquarters here yesterday and asked Chief G.A. Jackson:

‘What do you call anybody who’s been married twice without getting a divorce?’

‘A bigamist,’ replied Jackson.

‘Well, I’m one of them. And I want you to put me in jail,’ the woman said, poking marriage certificates at the startled chief to back up her claim. ‘I’m tired of both of them and jail is the best way out.’

But the harassed chief finally sent her away, deciding that Dunn didn’t want the expense of feeding her in jail.”
