HIS BRIDE
FROM HER HOME
Ladders and Other Roman
tic Adjuncts Are Miss
ing and Romance Fails
MARRIAGE ANNULLED

Annie st. Clair, a buxom young
woman of 21 years, was yesterday
granted an annullment of her marriage
to Walter st. Clair, who four years ago
came to her home like a thief in the
night and stole her away from the
parental roof. She was too young then,
she says, to realize the seriousness of
the marriage vow, but has since
learned to repent the rash act which
has brought lasting sorrow into her
young life.
st. Clair was soldier, and 1t was
principally the uniform and bright but
tons that led Annie DAILY, the petitioner.
into the belief that she would not be
happy without him always at her side
-or at least she lays it now to the
buttons and the uniform. So one night
the soldier lad took her away with
him and they were married without
her parents knowledge.
Did your lover come in the dead of
night and demand that you fly with
him?' inquired Judge Graham. in
whose court the case was heard yes
terday.
Indeed he did," responded Mrs. st.
Clair.
Did he raise a ladder to your win
dow and beseech you to descend into
has arms" persisted the court.
The young woman, who is unusually
tall and who would have made no light
load for frail ladder, answered that
no such adjunct of a romantic elope-
ment had been employed, and the court
seemed relieved.
Possibly, then, he came on a noble
charger and summoned you forth with
promise to kill all who came be-
tween you or attempted to thwart his
will?" was the final venture of Judge
Graham.
No, there wasn't any charger" she
answered. You see, my father learned
of it in about two weeks and scared my
husband SO badly that he ran away. He
was discharged from the army and
went up into Canada and is there now
He was afraid of father
Judge Graham ordered the annull-
ment granted on the ground that Mrs
st. Clair was under age at the time
of her marriage and did not secure the
parental consent necessary.
