cised every evening and all day on Sunday, he began an incestuous
affair with his eldest daughtér, Maria, when she was only 10-years~
old, and. then became intimate with his youngest daughter, Meta. Both
Loose and his wife who acquiesced in this arrangement felt that there
was nothing wrong with it as it kept the girls off the street. TFred-
