CHILDISH ROMANCE
RUNS AFOUL OF LAW
Mother of 14-Year-Old Bride
Would Have the Marriage
Annulled

Romance ran afoul OF the rocks,
Friday. in juvenile court, when Julia
Vlerku, aged IA, and John Jovin,
aged q, were brought before Judge
Hubert TO explain marriage that
had taken place, Thursday
A picturesque scene followed as the
parents of the young pair, gathered
in a little group. A strange story
was told by the mother of the girl
and disputed by the stepfather OF the
boy. According to the woman, Julia
disappeared from her home Monday
and nothing was seen of her until
Friday morning, when the mother
saw her in the juvenile court.
According TO the step-father Of the
boy the couple were married by JUS
tice DeGaw, after Mrs. Vlerku had
signed a paper giving her consent 20
the ceremony and declaring Julia to
be l6 years old.
Mrs Vlerku took the oath and
then raised her hands TO heaven in
an imprisoned gesture as she swore
that she had not signed the paper.
She said Julia was but IA years old
The girl is very pretty and the
groom Is well-dressed and apparently
prosperous As the testimony OF the
witnesses was so contradictory, and
there was evidence that tended to
show forgery and perjury, the case
was turned over to the prosecutors
office for action.
