had no intention Of remaining longer
in the United States than the journey
from New York to Mexico would take.
Soviet authorities said they had
hopes that the American Govern

of diplomatic etiquette and interna

transit visa to Nine. Kollantay
Just as the Soviet government issues
similar visas to Americans entering
Russia, or Ell route TO the Far East

Because the 12-year-old bride of
Charles Edward Martin 81, admitted
that she had posed as 8 before their
marriage, and because, in the eyes Of
Ralph Given, assistant United States
attorney, her appearance would con-
firm the bridegroom belief that she
was that old. a charge of abduction
was dropped against Martin when the
couple appeared in Police Court to-
day.
After the charge was nolle pressed
while parents of both parties looked
on, Peyton Nowlin, father of Kath-
crime Elizabeth. the bride, with tears
in his eyes. gave the couple his bless
ing and presented his daughter with
II roses.
Mr. Nowlin stated that he would
not have the marriage annulled and
that his daughter and son-in-law
might make their home together at
once. He expressed the wish. how
ever, that his daughter might con-
tinue a year'4onger at school.
The bridegroom, railroad brake
man from Cumberland, Md, met his
bride when he became a boarder at
the Nowlin home, 1928 Twelfth street,
two weeks ago. Believing her to- be 18,
he ran away with her to Cumberland,
where they were married Monday.
A telegram was sent to Mr.. Nowlin
apprising him and his wife of their
daughters marriage. Incensed be-
cause of. their daughters years. the
parents notified the local police, who
got in communication with the Cum
berland authorities.
The elopers were arrested Tuesday
and brought back to Washington,
Martin being locked up at the first
lt
the House Of Detention as a Govern
ment witness. The case was to have
been brought up yesterday, but was
continued until today for the Govern
ment to obtain all the evidence.
Mr.. Given declared today that it
was one of the most unusual cases,
and probably the only one to end so
happily, that was brought before him
in Police Court.
