SAYS PARENT
KIDNAPPED
WIFE, A
Forrest Ashworth BewiIdered, but
Will Fight Annulment Asked
by Girls Mother.

1.-THE course of true love never did
run smooth" says an old, old YER
dict And it was more than usually
rugged for Forrest Ashworth, whose
girl wife, IA years old, was stolen
fl ON him-according to her letters
and kept in Tampa, Fla, while her
mother, as next friend" sued for the
annulment Of their marriage.
The petition was fled Friday by w.
A. James, attorney for Mrs. Ludie
HUMPHREYS, and Saturday morning
Mr.. James explained that the annul-
ment was asked on the grounds OF
fraud in the manner of Ashworth's
persuasion Of the girl to elope and be
married without the knowledge or
consent of her parents. AshWorth Is
% years old.
The girl was a pupil at Miss Han
mas private school last June. She
was married to Ashworth by a local
justice the 18th day of that month.
representing that she was of legal age.
The girl continued at school for
some weeks before she mustered cour-
age to tell her parents she was
wife. There was no storm of re-
proach, and the young people went to
live at the girls home
Say. She Was Kidnapped.
"Then, a week ago, they took her

was taken away, to show that she was
stolen from me- Read this"
my darling husband" the letter be-
gan, in vertical, schoolgirl handwrit-
ing. And. after an affectionate and
pathetic greeting, she went on to say:
After you put me on the train for
Austell, they forced me to leave the
train at Simpson street. Then they
nut me on the train for Jacksonville,
and told the conductor to watch me
and not let me write to anybody
&c This is Gods truth am telling
YOU. They are taking me from
YOU by law. My father met me at
Jacksonville and brought me here to
Tampa"
And so on, with always evidence of
the child's fear of parental authority
struggling with the woman's hope that
something might be done to make
everything right, like It was"
Ashworth folded the letter slowly
SAYS He Will Fight.
Il hardly know what to DO" he
said. 81 knew her mother was bitter
against me on account Of the elope-
ment. But her father seemed to be
friendly enough. And I never thought
anything like this would happen.
OF course, I'm going to fight, only it's
all been SO sudden that hardly know
how to begin.
1--WE were very happy together" he
went on. Never a cross word be-
tween us l know she is telling me
the truth. By they guess she means
her mother and brother, Fred. They
must be the ones who abducted her.
Her mother stayed here after my wife
was taken away, understand. and
see now that 1t was to file this suit.
I'm trying to think what had better
do"

HOPE IN
]. 6. HIGH
COURT
New Hampshire Governor Honors
New York Requisition-Ha-
beas Corpus Pending.

CONCORD, N. H, Nov. s.-Gov-
ernor Samuel D. Felker to-day Dr.
dered the extradition OF Harry K.
Thaw to New York in response to
requisition papers charging him with
the crime Of conspiracy.
The decision of the Governor was
announced at HOS a. m. 1t was
written, and copies were handed to
the Thaw lawyers, to Bernard L. ia
cobs, representing w. T. Jerome, AMI
to the newspaper men.
Governor Felker refused to com
ment on his action beyond referring
inquirers to the written decision. This
decision designates Sheriff Hornbeck,
Of Duchess County. to take Thaw
back to New York Sheriff Horn
beck was named in the requisition
papers filed by William T. Jerome.
The decision handed down to day
by Governor Felker does not mean
that Thaw will be returned immedi-
ately to Matteawan. from which he
escaped on August II. He has pend,
ing in tho United States District
Court a petition for writ Of habeas
corpus, 1t is improbable that a hear
ing will be held for at least three
weeks.
The extradition order was granted
in response to requisition papers from
Governor Glynn of New York, filed
by Jerome.
Ignores Merits of Case.
Governor Felker in his decision
bases the extradition order on a writ
ten opinion from Attorney General
futile. The Governors decision Is
strictly in accord with interstate
comfy. Governor Felker ignored all
questions Of New York's good faith
which had been attacked by the Thaw
counsel. He discussed simply the
question of the form of the papers
and their validity.
Thaw was apparently not disturbed
by the blow to his chances. He is
sued the following statement:
IL MAO bCNi MY OpitilOh IilaI Wv
ernor Felker would order the extra
dition. The people of Concord thought
so, and l wes naturally moved by
their belief.
at is also my impression that Gov
ernor Felker did what ne believed to
be right. think he merely consid-
cred whether the documents were
technically correct and that he ala
not inquire into the motive when In
spires the persecution Of me.
81 am not disheartened. My strong
est hones lie now in the Federal
courts"
Await Jerome's Moves.
The Thaw lawyers will wait now
for Jerome to make the next move
jerome is to ask that the writ of
habeas corpus which brings Thaw
into the Federal courts be dismissed
The Thaw counsel will Immediately
file new or amended habeas corpus
petition. This petition may come up
for hearing probably the latter part
OF next week In Portsmouth, N. r.,
where the Federal Court Is now sit
ting, probably before Judge Aldrich.
Both sides have agreed that there
shall be no unreasonable delay in the
hearing. Both sides have likewise
agreed that the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals has no Jurisdiction
in the case.
After agreement between counsel
Governor Felker ordered Sheriff Hol-
man A. Drew not to seize Thaw until
November II. This gives the lawyers
on both side until then to prepare
their cases for the Federal Court
