MARRIAGE
VO|DED

Fifteen-year-old Gladys g.
Caldwell, Of 2615 Seventeenth
st. N. E., was ,enticed, she says,
from her dolls and books at
Langley Junior High School
last October and coerced into
a marriage when she had but
the "vaguest idea" Of the re-
sponsibilities she was to as
sumo.
This she told the District Su.
preme Court today in asking that
tribunal to declare her marriage
to Joseph w. Orebaugh, Of 2003
First st. ~. W., three years her
senior, null and void.
In her petition she states the
defendant taking advantage Of the
fact that her parents were absent
from the city persuaded her to take
an automobile ride to Marlboro,
and while there taking advantage
Of his superior will" procured
marriage license. He sWOre falsely
to their ages, she says.
For a reason unknown they were
not married that day, but the
following day, October 20, last.
while on another automobile ride
through Laurel she was virtually
forced through the ceremony, she
says.
Returning to this city he altered
the date of the license to over
come any attempt OF the plaintiffs
parents to split them, 1t is charged.
They lived together for a time,
but she realized soon the serious
ness OF her act, the schoolgirl
bride tells the court, and returned
home to her parents, and her dolls
and books.

One oil, the bOldest daylight

daylight, when Mrs. Henreitta
Baker, widow Of Daniel W
Baker, former United States
District Attorney, was thrown
to the sidewalk on COreOran
Street Northwest, and robbed
of 1926.
X The circumstances surrounding the
case are such as to puzzle even the
most experienced headquarters Dc
tectives, for Mrs. Baker neither
saw nor heard her assailant.
According to Detective n. k. WI
son, Mrs. Baker, had left her apart
ment at 1712 Sixteenth st. m. W.,
intending to first 60 to . nearby
shoeehcp and then pay fhar rent.
She left the shoes and was Wall1

son tripped her and grabbed her
bag as she fell.
Although she was not rendered
unconscious Mrs. Baker Is said TO
have told Detective Wilson that she
did not hear either the approach
lor flight Of her assailant and he
had disappeared by the time she
could turn in the direction from
which the attack took place.
The bag contained the $125 with
which she told Wilson she intended
