was well posted on the law, he would
not have secured the license then, as
the Judge said he did not think he had
authority to act in the matter.
Mr.. Hudgins telephoned from King
and Queen County that he had Sc
cured the license and the telephone
operator at Mathews notified the
bridesmaids. groomsmen and other at
PENDANTS that the ceremony would take
place that night. Friends of the bride
and groom entered the church about
o'clock and remained for the cere-
mony. which went off as prearranged.
