Teresa Morales, the sixteen year old girl who was taken from the GUS tOdy of her mother on the eve of her marriage to Fong Ling, Chinaman, was brought before the juvenile court yesterday afternoon for an cxamina- ton into the allegation that the girl was being forced into the marriage against her will.
 Fong Ling was also in court rep resented by his attorneys. Struck meyer and Fisher. A neighbOr whose name is Roberts was called and testi- fled that in his opinion the girl was not properly cared for He said that he had lived in the neighborhood for sixteen years, and that he believed the father of the girl to have been ae white man. The mother is a Mex iCan.
 The girl testified that she was six teen years of age. had never been married, admitted that she had ac cepted some attention from Ling. and would not say that her mother had attempted to cOerce her into the al liance. The hearing yesterday did not go to the legality of the proposed marriage, but dealt only with the willingness of the girl to marry the Chinaman and the degree of care and protection which she had received from her mother
 Just before the hearing was finish ed the court asked the Chinaman to hand him the license. Attorney StruCkmeyer peremptOrily challenged this request and shaking his finger in the direction of FOng Ling shouted you hand the license to me" It de- veloped that the license was not in Lings possession. and it remained problematical what action the court would have taken had the document been given to the lawyer in defiance of the instructions of the court. The judge mildly reprimandcd the attorney and rcmandcd the girl in the custody of the the humane officer for fur thcr investigation by probation of ficers Later the license was returned to the custody of the court.
