Miss ceclIe Lefska. Bride Of
One Hectic Night, Seeks
AnnuIment

How pretty Miss Cecile Lefske, of
Philadelphia, was a bride ''for one
hectic night" a portion of which
was spent in an automobile bound
for this city, il recited in q suit
for annulment of her marriage filed
yesterday in Baltimore.
The young girl Is peeved, Il is
shown in her bill OF COMPLAINT
against Albert Walfish, her hus-
band, inasmuch as she admits she
was drunk and prov0lSingly numb
to the usual thrills which attend
early hours Of married life.
1t i6 drawn from the recital Of
the episode, as presented 70 the
court, that Miss Lefske was Ac.
Quainted only slightly with Walfish
despite the fact that just prior to
the alleged forced nuptials they had
acted as maid of honor ana best
man at the wedding Of mutual
friends.
Intoxicated, She Says.
According to Miss Fefska's bill
she became Intoxicated at the re.
ception following the wedding in
Philadelphia on July s, in which she
ana her husband played minor roles.
ana that 1t was in this condition
that she was persuaded to submit
to marriage ceremony at the home
OF the Reverend Ernest e. Weave
on July Z in Elkton, Md
She alleges that when the auto.
mobile reached Elkton at 1880 n.
m. she and Mr.. Walfish babe the
bridal couple farewell and left this
machine. But instead Of Mr.. Wal.
fish accompanying her on a train
to Philadelphia he took her to the
license bureau and then to the
Reverend Mr.. Weaver, and 1t was
not until 1:18 a. m, she alleges.
after they had actually gotten on a
train for Philadelphia, that she be.
gan to get sober and to realize
what had taken place.
Regulated Marriage.
/ Miss Lefske says she repudiatet
the marriage at once and left her
husband at the railroad station in
Philadelphia and returned to the
home of her parents.
1t is under these circumstances
that the young girl requests the
Baltimore court to declare the mar.
riage void on the ground It was
