BRIDEONLYTENYEARSOLD
Given Away in Marriage by Her
Italian Mother.
Taken In Charge by the Humane So

Huso oand Is Locked Up.

Troy, N. Y, Feb 6.--There is wife
In custody OF the Humane Society today
who Is Only ten years old, according to
her uncle, but who, her mother says, is
thirteen. This little girl was welded to
man OF thirty-five last Wednesday.
but the facts in the case did not be-
come known until last night, when the
child and her husband was placed under
arrest by Detective Ford and Supt.
Walker, of the Humane Society.
Two or three days ago Mr.. Walker
was informed of marriage that had
been performed by the Rev. Giovanni
Sanford. an Italian priest, on Ferry
street. He learned that the priest had
married Jeanette Dillachoper. child
whose age was given to the priest by
the mother as thirteen years, to an
Italian named Paleto. who boarded at
Mrs. Diliachoper's house.
Two uncles hastened TO Mr.. Walker
declaring that the child was only ten
years old, and that II would be an out
rage TO allow the marriage TO take
place. They were too late, however.
After the marriage Paleto and his child
bride went to live at her mothers mouse,
where they remained until arrested last
night. Father Sanford said that he we'd
ded the couple despite the disparity in
their years, because tne mOtnSf repre-
sented the child TO be thirteen years of
age. which age does not render such an
act contrary to the laws of his church,
and because the child herself really
wished to be married to PaletO.
The mother said she was anxious 10
have the child married to Paleto because
it would make the Italian contribute to
the support Of the family.
When the warrants were served, the
child fed in alarm, not to her husband.
but to her mother.
After the warrants were served the
child was hurried into long dress with
puff sleeves. which was put on over her
own short dress. In that groteSque ap-
parel she was brought to Troy and plac-
ed in the care of the matron of the HUI
name Society. Her husband was locked
up pending a further investigation OF the
case The mother was not arrested.
A formal charge .of abduction Will be
against Palato tomorrow.
