Facts of the case are these: Mr.

bed black hair; eyes dark and merry
said TO have been married thrice b
fore, is now the wife of 16-year-oId
Burton S. Tucker, son of JOSEPH
Tucker, postmaster of South Esse4
Mass.
The bride is a half-sister of IL
boy-husband's maternal grand-motl
er. and the. romance extends bac
over the last half year in scenes q
her big summer home at Gloucester
Mass, New York, and finally in tn
marriage across the Hudson Rive
from New York at Union HILL n. j
on Ortober 2.

Prosecutor Presents Facts
to NJ J. Grand Jury
The bride faces the possibility of
Indictment on charges of perjury, con
spiracy and subordination of perjury
as New Jersey officials present facts
of the case to a grand jury. And the
boy groom, too for perjury as he
swore he was 21 in obtaining the
marriage license.
Investigation discloses that posi-
bly, a New Jersey law was violated,
in that 70 hours did not pass between
the time the marriage license was
issued on September 80 and October
2, the date of the. marriage, as requir.
ed.
An affidavit, in which Mrs. Susan
O. Simpson Tucper swore that her
condition made imperative an immed-
late marriage and signed by Young
Tucker, may eliminate the 72-hour
law, inasmuch as such an emergency
has. been made the exception to the
law. However, the New Jersey pro,
secutor says he will ask the grand
jury to indict both on conspiracy
charge
Meanwhile the two are living tenn
porarily in a secluded home in New
Jersey and making plans for an ex-
tended honeymoon trip in California

ly bride.
'Tll say it is says the youthful
groom. II didn't marry you for your
money. l married you for love and
I'll stay married if l have to work

But you won't have to do that

change.
Then the middle-aged bride again
took up the subject of her parent-i1
laws. She admitted and denied alter
natingly that she was her young
bridesgrooms half-great aunt.
You cannot say too much of thei
selfishness. They not only would rob
Burton of his great love by separat
ing him from me-but they woulo |
also strip him of this opportunity |
