UNDER AGE,
SQUIRE BLOCKS
TWO MARRIAGES

Magistrate Robertson yesterday af-
ternoon refused marriage licenses TO
two Philadelphia couples because one
or the other of the contracting parties
was not of legal age It is not
thought that either couple obtained
license elsewhere as the other mag
istrates and the clerk of peace office
at the court house weer notified.
The first couple to apply for a Ii
cense was Marcel Edward Glandel,
who said his birthplace was Paris,
and Susette Jennie Alliot, and the
young woman said she was % years
old. Both were disappointed when
they learned that the marriageable
age for men was q years and despite
uNging on the part of Glandel. who
said he would be 21 years old in two
months, the magistrate refused to is
sue the license.
The second couple were Jacob
Counter and Miss Wilhelmina Saw
yer. Counter gave the date of his
birth as December 26, 1890, and he
looked to be % years old, but the
squire had his doubts about the girl's
age. She said she was nineteen years
Of age, whereupon the magistrate
asked her the year Of her birth. She
answered July 6. 1895. which would
make her but seventeen years old
She was much confused when Tho
justice told her she had made a false
statement, whereupon the couple
hurriedly left the Office

KILLING HIS MOTHER

could pacify his father. Instead Gar
ton struck her and then went into
the kitchen returning with a small
kitchen knife With this he threat
ened his wife and her screams
brought their son to her assistance.
The two men clinched and fought
each other all over the room, over
turning and demolishing furniture in
their struggles. At last the father
got the son by the throat. Slowly
but surely he forced him backward
on the crealSing kitchen table. The
young man was raising blows on the
, ody Of the elder but they seemed
impotent and gradually he was los
ing strength. AS his hands collapsed
he felt the knife that had dropped
from his fathers hand. He raised IL
and struck blindly upward. The blade
OF the knife drove directly into the
throat of the elder man severing the
jugular vein. Carton dropped dead
and the mother. who had watched the
conflict, went into Mysteries.
