9 The Texas Penal Code (Art. 1220) states: "Homicide is justifiable when
committed by the husband upon one taken in the act of adultery with the wife,
provided the killing takes place before the parties to the act have separated.
Such circumstances cannot justify a homicide when it appears that there has
been on the part of the husband, any connivance in or assent to the adulterous
connection." New Mexico and Utah have similar statutes. For some striking
descriptions of perfectly legal paramour killings in Texas, see John Bainbridge,
The Super-Americans (Garden City, 1961) , pp. 238 ff.

24 "A depth study of Wisconsin statutes in 1956 revealed that of 1113 statutes
creating criminal offenses [punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both] which
were in force in 1953, no less than 660 used language in the definitions of the
offenses which omitted all reference to a mental element, and which therefore,
under the canons of construction which have come to govern these matters,
left it open to the courts to impose strict liability if they saw fit/* Colin Howard,
