WILLIAMS MARRIAGE
NOT TO Be ANNUlLED
Court Holds That Persons
Should Inform Themselves
Before They Wed.

Judge Rodney, in Superior Court,
today, dismissed the petition Of Flor
ence Williams for annulment OF her
marriage to Harry Williams This
case recently attracted considerable
attention when II was heard. The
petitioner, who was a stenographer
at the Hotel du Pont, stated on the
stand that the respondent informed
her that he was an Englishman by
birth, had estates in England and was
a man Of large independent means and
controlled certain patents which
would make him wealthy. She testi-
fed that relying upon these repre-
sen:ations she married him only to
find that all the representations were
false and that even the travelling ex-
penses after the marriage had been
betrayed from her own funds, which
had amounted at the time OF the mar
rage 10 about $4,000, and which was
placed under the control of the re-
spondent at the time OF the marriage.
Fraud was given in the petition as
the ground for annulment. The court,
in its opinion, held that "nisrepresen-
tations as TO wealth or social position
may De SuiiiCient 10 Justify the lilllO-
cent party in breaking an existing
contract or engagement: to marry, but
when the marriage is entered into
and contaminated, there springs into
existence a relationship which is
fundamental to our civilization and
which the law Immediately recognizes
and protects"
The opinion also declares that the
law presumes that there shall be
placed upon the parties the duty and
burden OF informing themselves as
to their future partners by acquaint-
ance and by satisfactory Inquiries be-
fore entering into a contract where
their own happiness for life is ma
terially involved and which is one of
the first Importance to society in
