MARRIED AT THIRTEEN
And Now Enters Suit Against Ser
Husband.

We clip the following from tie
Charleston Post Of Thursday which
says: A motion for alimony in the
case Of Annie Henderson Legget VS..
Walter W. Legget, her husband. was
made before Judge Klugh this morn
ing by W. Turner L"gan, attorney for
the plaintiff. The motion was resist
ed by Ficken, Hughes and Ficken.
The petition Of the plaintiff stated
that she was married to the defendant
on December 25, 1902, when she was
only thirteen years Of age and that
the defendant is nearly fifty years OF
age. They lived together as husband
and wife for some tine, when she was
forced to leave him, she alleges, on
account OF cruel treatment and abuse.
The petition sets forth that the
plaintiffs only means OF support is
through the assistance she renders in
keeping boarding house, and asks
the court to award her alimony, her
husband being able to provide living
for her. After hearing the arguments
on both sides Of the case, Judge klugh
issued an order referring the case to
Master G.. 81. Sass to take testimony
and make a report Of his tinding to
the common pleas court.
ANOTHER CASE.
Judge Dantzler has filed an order in
the common please court IN the now
famous Levin case, awarding alimony
to Mrs. Levin, Of New York, the
amount being s1,l00 a year for the
support Of Mrs. Levin and her child.
The order also states that Lyman Le-
vim shall pay 4,S3'.50 accrued ali
mony and legal expenses.
The Levin case has been in the
courts Of Charleston for several years.
The order will be appealed from on
the ground that the amount is exces-
sive as compared with the wealth OF
the defendant.
Mrs. Levin was Miss Dora Fried
man, of New York, and she and Mr..
Hyman Levin of Charleston were
married in New York on October Is,
1899, and a separation followed soon
after their marriage. Mr.. Levin re-
turned to Charleston, but his wife re-
fused to accompany him. She fled
proceedings for separation and ali
mony on the grounds OF cruel treat
ment.
The plaintiff is represented by Bry-
an & Bryan, and the defendant by
MI. r. Moultrie Mordecai.

MAN CONFESSED TO MURDER.
Only to Find His Victim Alive and
at His Trial.

at His Trial.
Friday afternoon man named Su.
sano Marmolejo appeared before the
prosecuting attorney in Belem and de-
clared that he had murdered Mace.
donio Trejo. two months ago, near
the Dolores cemetery. When asked
to explain the circumstances sur.
rounding his crime. he said that he
was coming from the Dolores GENE.
terry late one afternoon when he met
Trejo. with whom he had had a
quarrel few days before. Trcjo ir.
suited him and challenged him to q.
fight Marmolejo produced his knife
and stabbed his opponent, who imme
diately fell down in a pool OF blood
and died almost instantly. Marmo.
ie1o then ran away, jumped on a car
that happened to pass by, and twenty
minutes later he was taking supper
with his family.
But that night and for many nights
more he could not sleep, for he said
that he saw Trejo's eyes staring at
him, and to avoid his vision he kept
the lamp burning all night. As time
went on, Marmolejo says. the ghost OF
Trejo became bolder; lately the shade
pulled his blanket when he was III
bed and whispered something that
he could not understand.
Thursday night the ghost blew out
the lamp and told Marmolejo to pre-.
GENT himself before the judges. The
man added that he was tired Of such
"cosas." and wanted to be incarcer-
ated and punished for his crime. He
was then sent to a cell, where he
slept all night. or at least he has not
yet told his experience with Trejo's
ghost
Early In the morning yesterday the
Judge ordered Marmolejo to be
brought to his presence, but as soon
as he reached the door he turned back
with a look OF horror in his face
and attempted to escape. Trejo the
man whom he had killed, was there
speaking 10 the judge, and not as
ghosts are supposed to speak, but as
live persons do.
The mystery was subsequently ex
plained. Trejo. when stabbed by Mar
molejo, received a very slight wound,
from which he recovered in fifteen
days.
MarmoleJo was acquitted of his
alleged murder. and is being tried
simply for cutting strap of Trejo's
skim" as lower people call wounds
that do not cause death.-Mexican
