BALTIMORE. Md. December 20
Judge w. H. Forsyth of the Circuit
Court of Howard County today re-
fused the petition TO annul the mar
riage of Charles III. Consolvo, jr.,
10 years old, and Evelyn Lamb Con-
solvo, which occurred several months
ago. Young Consolvo is the adopted
son of Charles II. Consclvo. hotel man.
Judge Forsyth asserted that the
court was not satisfied there was not
collision between the parties con-
cerned. That, however. he said, had
no bearing on the decision.
Col Consolvo asked for the annul-
ment, asserting that his son was in
toxicated at the time of the wedding.
He also declared that the youth has
not the mentality of a boy of 12.
As 10 that, Judge Forsyth ruled that
young Consolvo may be stupid, but
that does not relieve him from a con-
tract. Young Mrs. Consolvo was a
resident of Baltimore. She was form
erly employed in beauty shops here.
