STUDENT WEDDING
ANNULMENT ASKED
NiShWitz Morris Marriage
Notification Sought by
Both Families.

Carrying out the wishes of his bride
and her family, as well as those of his
own parents, Frederick S. Nishwitz, 20
years old, of 1901 Fulton street, has
applied to the District Supreme Court
for the annulment of his recent mar
riage to Miss Marjorie Morris, 1s years
old, of 26 Grafton street, Chevy Chase,
Md.
Because Nishwitz is under the age of
consent and his bride is lover 49," the
suit was filed by the boys father, Will
liam T. Nishwitz, with whom he resides
while attending courses at the George
town University School of Foreign
Service.
The young couple eloped after a
dance the night of the GEORGETOWN
West Virginia foot ball game on Novem-
Der II, last, and were married without
the consent of their families, although
Miss Morris had just become of age.
Both Families Agree.
Since young Nishwitz is without
means of independent support and
both are regarded by their parents as
too young at the time of their mar
riage, the annulment suit was brought
after a conference between both FAM
lilies. Mr.. NichwitZ and his bride both
yielded to parental persuasion.
Mr.. -Nishwitz, the father, said today
that his son and wife were too young
to marry without the consent of their
parents, and that when the youth is
able to support wife, he would be
happy to see them remarry If the
present bond is dissolved
Mai RI M0rric fofhor IF tho
bride, issued the following statement,
explanatory of the action:
Morris Statement.
Gas result of common under
standing between Mr.. and Mrs. Nish-
witz, myself and Mrs. Morris, and with
the full consent of my daughter and
of their son, suitable court action has
been undertaken looking to the annul-
ment of their marriage.
1.-THE marriage, which was without the
consent of the parents of either family,
took place at Bethesda, Md, November
II, following fraternity dance. Mar
riage had not been contemplated by
either my daughter or young Nishwitz
prior to that evening.
THE groom at the time was 20 years
OF age. The bride was slightly younger
BY reason OF this fact, an annulment Of
the marriage is legally possible, so long
as each of the contracting parties con-
sent. In this case the prank was prob
ably regretted by both. This court ac-
ton is taken simply to carry out the
wishes OF all concerned that the mar
rage be annulled.
Since the ceremony, Miss Morris
has been living with her parents. and
young Nishwitz has been continuing
MS studies in the Foreign Service School |
at Georgetown University, where he |
still has two years Of work before COM |
oleting his course"
