A BLIGHTED ROMANCE.
Probation Officer Elsie Osborne Dis-
 rupts Cupid's Plans.

Through the efforts of Probation Officer Elsie Osborne, assisted by Truant Officer c. S. Andrews, an inn mature romance was blighted yester- day. Carmela Mascario, the girl in the case, is only thirteen years old but on the strength of statements made to City Clerk Thompson by the girl and her sister, a marriage ii- cense was issued to Peter Denuzzi of 14 Dwight street. The girl claimed to be seventeen years old but her state ment was doubteG> by the city clerk and he referred her to Selectman William E. Latham. The latter fin ally gave his consent.
 When Truant Officer Andrews learned of the case he conferred witt, Miss Osborne. Both were acquainted with Carmela and knew she was only thirteen; moreover they knew she had an aversion to attending school. Prosecutor G. W. Klett was notified and Detective Sergeant Barn- forth went out on the case. He found the license in the hands of one of the priests at St. Mary's church, who had not performed the ceremony because the couple had not compiled with the requirements of the church in regard to the banns. The girl is little more than a child and Miss Osborne took possession of her yesterday and made certain that no marriage would take place.
