REFUSES To ANNUL MARRIAGE
AFTER HEARING TESTIMONY MRS MAY TUCKER WILKES
SUIT SEPARATION JUDGE STEVENS
RENDERS DECISION.

The prayer of Mrs. Ida May Tucker
Wilkes for an annulment of the mar
rage contract she entered into with
E. J. Wilkes, on Feb. 25 last, was Tues
day afternoon denied by Chancello~ J.
Morgan Stevens, before whom the case
was tried, for the reason announced by
the court that the complainant had
wholly failed to show coercion, duress
or undue influence, which were the
only grounds alleged in the bill why
the court should release her from
bonds which she herself had helped to
forge.
The court said that it was not a case
where an ignorant, unsuspecting, in
competent person had been imposed
upon, since in all his experience as
lawyer, the court had never seen a
holder or more dependent witness on
the stand. Believing that it was a
case where young woman had mar.
ried in haste, who would have to re.
pent at leisure, the court could not
lend itself to unworthy business of
fixing a life stigma upon the defend
ant against whom there was not one
syllable Of coroborating testimony to
show that he had been guilty of a sin
gle offense charged in the bill filed in.
this case.
Mrs Wilkes had shown her absolute
independence of will and ability to
resist coercion by her emphatic state
ment to the court, that she could not
be induced to live with her husband
again, either by the court or any other
power, and that not even Wilkes him
self could force or induce her to live
with him.
The Judge concluded his summary
with the remark that this case was
but an ordinary elopement
and that IL the complainant wished to
persist in her determination not to live
with Wilkes again the court will keep
her in the attitude where she cannot
elope with any other man.
In the progress Of the trial, while
she was on the stand, undergoing the
cross questioning Of Mr.. Tally, one of
he attorneys representing her hus-
band, Mrs. Wilkes showed remarkable
as well as composure. Aft
