SAY BRIDE
IS UNDER LEGAL AGE
HUMANE SOCIETY WANTS TIE
FOUND VOID
Girl Herself, Her Mother and Youth
full Husband All Object Strongly
to Interference by the
Authorities

This marriage may be annulled by
the court; they may be able to take
my wife from me now and thereby
cause us both a great deal of misery;
but, should this be done, I will wait
until the girl reaches the age which, it
is claimed, she has not attained, and
remarry her. 1 love the young woman,
and this trouble will not block me in
the least"
Broad-shouldered and sun-burned,
his youthful face showing traces of
worry not unmixed with anger, Will
liam e. Ford, % years old, sat outside
the doorway leading into Judge Will
bur's department Of the superior court
yesterday afternoon, awaiting the de-
cision which, he hoped, would restore
TO him the young wife to whom he had
given his name and protection less than
twenty-four hours before. Beside him
sat Mrs. Mary Patterson, the girls
mother, while in the detention home,
south of the court house, the wife,
dark-eyed little woman, paced to and
fro counting each frightening moment
until the shadows of evening fell. At
last the hope that had given her
strength died from her heart and the
overweight mind found relief in tears.
Hazel Patterson, claimed by the hui
name officers to be a dependent person,
more than a week ago became a ward
of the courts. Taken from the little
home at 914 North State street, she was
placed in the detention home and
thence was transferred to the home of
Mrs. A. Escalier, lie South Evergreen
street, where she was employed as
domestic. Fourteen years was the age
given the court by her mother at the
time she first appeared, an age, ac-
cording to law, untitled for matrimoni-
al duties.
Thursday Miss Patterson, accompa-
MED by her mother, reported to the hu-
name officers that she was well salts
fled with her new surroundings. Less
than an hour later the mother and
daughter, accompanied by Ford, a
young Texan, entered the county clerks
office and secured a license to marry,
the mother giving her consent and sub
scribing her testimony that the girl
was Is years of age. A trip was taken
across Temple street, the knot was tied
by Rev. w. A. Irwin, and the trio left
for their little home.
Yesterday the fact of the marriage
became known to the humane officers,
and a warrant for the arrest of the
young bride was served upon her by a
deputy sheriff.
The mother, explaining her conflict
ing statements concerning her daugh-
ter's age said
when 1 first appeared in court
was very nervous, and when / gave her
age as IA 1 made a mistake, a fact that
1 did not discover until later. In re
ality Hazel was born more than fifteen
years ago. Her husband is a good man,
and 1 hope there will be no further in
reference"
The matter was not disposed of yes
terday, but was continued until a later
date.

HALES HUSBAND TO COURT
ON CHARGE OF CONTEMPT
Mrs. Donaghy Declares He Violated
Order Issued Restraining Him
from Talking to or APP
preaching Her

IF you live to see me on the chain
gang you will never live to see another
man." is the statement that, as Mrs.
Essie Donaghy alleges, was made by
her husband, Frederick Donaghy. The
latter appeared in the superior court
yesterday to answer a charge of con-
tempt.
Mrs. Donaghy said her husband
came home at an early hour last Sun
day morning, climbed through a win
dow and forced open her bedroom door.
Then he picked up a whip and
struck me across the face and Shout
ders," said the woman. land when
ran from the room he threw a chair
at me-
Donaghy denied the charges, claim
ing his wife tried to force an entrance
to his room and saying her injuries
were caused when he slammed the door
in her face.
Last Monday Mrs. Donaghy secured
a restraining order preventing her hus-
band from talking to, visiting or APP
preaching his wife. This order. she
claims, was violated, but Judge James
continued the matter two weeks.
Meantime Donaghy and his wife will
occupy the same building, each doing
his or her own household work, unless
a reconciliation is effected.
She's got an awful temper" said
Donaghy, as he left the stand

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
IN WALLER CASE DENIED
Contention That Compton Justice Had
No Jurisdiction in Alleged MUIR
der Case overruled by
Court

The application by Attorney A. A.
Sturgess for a writ of habeas corpus
on behalf of Jacob Waller, charged
with killing Joseph Desanti near Comp
ton, July Is, was yesterday denied by
Judge James of the superior court.
Valiers attorney contended that the
justice before whom his client was ex-
amined had exceeded his jurisdiction
when he proceeded with the examina-
ton before the coroner had filed with
him the dispositions of the witnesses
examined at the inquest, together with
the inquisition and verdict of the cor
oner's jury.
G. Ray Horton, deputy district attor-
ney, cOntended that while it is true
the law fixes a duty on the coroner to

indicated, it in no way afrects the Ju-
risdiction of the inferior court; and
Furthermore, whether the court erred
or not, 1t was not such an error as
could be reviewed on a hearing for a
writ of habeas corpus. The court took
this view of the matter and refused the
writ.
The information against Waller will
be filed on Monday liz Judge Jamisons
court, and he will probably be ar
raigned on that day. Attorney Stur-
CESS has expressed a determination to
appeal from yesterdays decision to the
district court of appeals.
G. Ray Horton returned yesterday
from the scene of the killing, where he
made a thorough investigation of the
premises preparatory to the handling
of the case on behalf of the people.

HER "A DIRTY PIG"
Woman Asks That She Be Given a
Portion of Spouse's Earnings.
Relates Frequent
Quarrels

Married in June, 1907. and a month
later engaging in domestic brawls, in
which her husband called her dirty
pig" and threatened her with bodily
injury, is the story told in the COM
plant filed yesterday in the superior
court by Cora Simmons, who asks for
separate maintenance from her hus-
band.
Mrs. Simmons says her husband was
arrested following one of their quar-
rels, but fearing his anger when he
was liberated she went to the court
room and testified in his behalf that
no fight had taken place. Three days
ago, according to the woman, Simmons
threatened to kill her, and she now
asks the court to restrain him and
give her half of his earnings.

DRINK MINERAL WATERS.
Iowa City People Still Suffering From
Strange Epidemic.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Nov. 1.-The examination
of the city water by DR.. Henry Albert
state bacteriologist, still continues, and
this afternoon he will probably be able
to make report on the cause of the
strange epidemic in Iowa City,.
More cases We're reported yesterday
and several Of the patients We're re-
moved to the university hospital. All
sorts of mineral waters aye being sold
I'm large quantities at the drug stores,
and practically the entire population is
drinking the purchased carbonated wa
tiers or boiled city water. Many theories
are advanced as to the cause of the
prevailing sickness, but it is supposed
that the fungi in the water starved
later decomposed, and made the peo-
pie sick. 1t is possible that Health
Officer Valerita will make a recon-
mendation for artesian wells to the city
council.
