 Example of the Falsifier.

Some days ago a man named Ustick secured marriage license from the probate court. IIa went before Notary Public Sparks Jackson and made affilda- wit That the young lady of his choice, Miss Carrie Smith, was over the law ful age of IS years.
 A few days later the father of the young lady tcok her back to his home. She remains there now, and her young husband is in Tls1as. He has found it lhsa.thier there than in Birmingham. The young lady's father became very angry when he heard of his daughters marriage. He visited the probate office and demarded to know who issued the license. MT. Jackson showed him the young mans affidavit that the girl WIS over the age of IS years. The father said she was not.
 The irate father then went before As fsbant Solicitor Hugh Morrow, and dla- clared his daughter was under age. He also told him the young man had sworn that she was over that age. This, the father said, was perjury. He requested MT. Morrow Ito prosecute Ustick. This will be done. The grand jury meets in a short time and the case Will be laid before it. If an indictment is found a capias will be issued by the clerk. The governor will then be asked to grant a requisitfon on the goverTor of Texas for Ustick's return Ito the Alabama authori- ties.
 MT. Smith and Assistant Solicitor Nor row say they will push tha case as a warning to other young men mot to swear falsely as to the age of their prospective brides.
