Court Action on Plea
For Return Of Bride, II

A youthful bridegroom hope
fully waited today for a District
Court decision that would return
his bride of nine days.
Charles Ellis, %, an oiler on
construction machinery, was back
in his parents home at 436 Tenth
street NV. after an elopement,
a marriage and a honeymoon that
ended when West Virginia State
troopers took his 17-year-old
bride from him in Beckley.
The BRIDE Mrs. Mary Frances
Lyons Ellis. was returned to her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James j.
Lyons of 4801 Minnesota avenue
NE. n
Asked for Writ.
Young Ellis petitioned for q
writ of habeas corpus on his re-
turn to Washington. Judge Bur-
|nita Shelton Matthews issued the
writ and ordered the brides par
|ents to produce her in court
Thursday for a hearing to deter
mine her custody.
The bridegroom said yesterday
he had met Mary Frances about
six months ago through his cousin
at her place Of employment, the
Kresge Store at Eleventh and H
streets Me- a@a-.Y.i4. ss
They became engaged, he said,
and on January 8, Mary Frances
parents took her engagement ring
from her and she left home.
Gave Age rs 10.
They drove to Wilson, N. c.,
he said, where they were married
by a justice Of the peace. Mary
Frances gave her age as 10 and
her home as Kaiser, w. Va, where
her grandmother lives.
They drove to Beckley, w. Va,
where he has an aunt, he said,
and Mary Frances telephoned her
father and told him they were
married. Her father, an investi-
gator for the park police here,
asked her the number from which
she was calling. He told her to
wait there, the bridegroom said,
and he would call her back. In
stead, State trooper arrived and
took the bride away.

f1oor-in the meantime I had
never mentioned to him about
Simkins because I didn't think
anything of that threat of last
night made to me.
So, when I got upstairs to his
office he, 1t. Murray, told the
gentleman at the front desk there,

he did and I think I heard Bar

Of fact. after your conversation
with 1t. Murray. did Capt.

Mr.. Nichols That is correct,
sir.
Mr.. Bauman-After these Incl

said. Everybody is in favor of
recreation until 1t comes to raising
money to pay for it" and Com
missioner Edward J. CNed) Waters
said he favors increasing teachers
salaries and is not committing
himself on a recreation program.
Mr.. Bolinger told the commits
sioners the. Maryland National

mission should be commended for
"the fine job it has done on a
limited scale" on q recreation
program in the area Of its juris-
diction.
Closed Meeting Set.
The commissioners will hold a
closed meeting Tuesday night at
Marlboro to discuss budget mat
ters, including the recreation pro-
posal. Mr.. Abbott said he would
be in favor of delaying a decision
on next years program in the
county until after Gov. McKeldin's
conference on community recrea-I
tion, to be held January 26 in
Annapolis.
In other business, the State
Highway Department notified the
commissioners that it has ap-
proved three highway projects for
inclusion in the next supplemental
Federal aid secondary road pro-
gram.
The projects are: A bridge over
Walker Branch, and approaches,
on Brooklyn Branch road near
Laurel, estimated cost, $4,000;
bridge over Henson Creek on
Brinkley road near Oxon Hill,
$132 900; Improvement of Suitland
road from Suitland to Andrews

The county has funds totaling
$287 900 to pay its share of this
program, but the projects cannot
be started until the Federal funds
are made available to the State.
