The father Of a 17-year-r'
bride sought permission tc
to return her to their home In
Boston after the girls elope-
ment wound up in the arrest
of her and her husband, in con-
nection with a series of house.

Juvenile authorities were hold
ing Brenda Reilly Scully, daugh-
ter of a wealthy Boston woolens
manufacturer, while her hus-
band. Edward Patrick Scully. 20,
was remanded in jail in default
of a $4,000 bond.
The father, John Reilly, came
to Washington yesterday.
Bride Willing to Return.
Attorneys Francis x. Walsh
and Claire o. Ducker, who rep
resent Scully. said today the
youths father is coming to
Washington to help his son.
Mr.. Walsh said the bride had
changed her mind about con-
testing an annulment, and was
anxious to return to her parents
home if authorities here will re-
lease her in their custody.
The girl probably will have a
hearing soon in Juvenile Court.
The pair eloped last spring
while in school DIT Boston and
embarked on a transcontinental
honeymoon which they financed
first with her $500 checking ac-
count. and later with various
thefts and housebreakings, police
say.
Young Scully, while waiting
arraignment in Municipal Court.
told reporters yesterday he had
eloped twice with the girl, and
they were very much in love.
After the second elopement,
he said, they decided they could
not return to Boston, because
her father would insist on an
annullment, and agreed they
would steal and risk imprison-
ment rather than a voluntary
separation.
Boys Father on Way.
Meanwhile, the father Of a IS
year-old boy arrested with the
Scullys was en- route to Wash
ington from Lincoln, Nebr., to
seek his return there.
The boy told police he joined
the couple in Denver, Colo,
recently after he boasted he was
adept at petty crime and would
help them to break into houses.
Police filed charges with
Juvenile authorities against Mrs.
Scully and the boy.
Police booked young Scully on
several charges of housebreak-
ing and the theft of an auto
mobile. Judge George D. Neil
son ordered him held for the
grand jury under $4,000 bond.
