A Marriage AnnulIed.

A referee has prepared a report recon-
mending the annuiling of the marriage of
Peter Peterson and Annie L. Conner On the
ground of consanguinIty, and Judge Neil
sou, in the Brooklyn City Court, has con-
tirmed it. The plaintiff is the woman - no
went some time ago to Judge Nelson for
advice, telling him that she had just dis
covered that her husband, whom she had
married supposing him to be her cousin,
was in reality her brother. She was in
great distress Judge Nelson recommended
her to q lawyer, who began a suit to have
the marriage declared null The story OF
the marriage Is told as follows: When
Peterson was born his mother, who was not
married, surrendered him to her sister, who
adopted him and, with her husbands con-
sent, gave him her name-Peterson. His
sister was born two years later and, being
retained by her mother, was named Annie
Z. Connor, her mothers name. The two
children saw great deal of each other, and
supposed that they were cousins. It is said
that their mother did all in her power to
prevent their meeting, although neither
she nor anybody else suspected that they
thought of marrying each other. Some
time ago. however, she went to Europe, and
they protited by her absence TO get married.
When she returned she went directly to the
house of her son, and found her daughter
there and was informed for the FIRST time
of the marriage. She at once told her chill
dren of their relationship, and they parted.
1t Is said that they have not met since
