By United Press MILWAUKEE, Aug. 27 -— A traveling salesman said today that he’s still “good friends” with two pretty wiyes he kept 60 miles apart for four yeprs—but he's lafraid he’ll lose both of them. “This is a tragic thing” sald John Reihman, 33. “We're still good friends and I don’t want. to lose them both, but welyg;got to solve this quickly so we can live normal lives. | “I'm not sure what's going to happen. But I understand both |girls may take legal action.” |” Reihman wouldn't say why he married his second wife, Eliza|beth, 26, in 1947 while still mar‘Iried to his first wife, Dorothy, 30. “It was just one of those things,” he said. 2 Has Three Children Reihman has a 5-year-old daughter by Dorothy, plus a 3-year-old daughter and 2-month-1d son by Elizabeth. He commuted for four years between Sheboygan Falls, where he and Dorothy maintained a home with her parents, and Milwaukee, where he set Elizabeth up in an apartment. Reihman will be sentenced Sept. 14 on an adultery charge resulting from his double family life. He said “everything went along fine” until recently. He would spend a few weeks with one wife, then make a “business trip” during which he lived with the other. Dorothy said she thought it un{usual when the “trips” became {longer after 1947, but wasn’t un{duly suspicious.’ | Elizabeth was: a little put out
