Lucile Crouch and Floyd Warten- burg, of Huntington, ,were married more than a year ago,” but- today they are no longer man and wife. Miss Crouch, nineteen-year-old girl, popular with the younger set, had known Wartenburg for three months. They had danced together. But, according to friends and their own admissions, they did not love cne another . However, at a party in the Fred- erick hotel on the night of January 30, 1921, someone suggested the couple marry. They did not marry then. With even greater speed than gos- sip usually spreads, it became rumor- ed that they were to have married and something had happened. The press played up the affair and the young man was worried. Shortly after the party Warten- burg met Miss Crouch and explained his predicament. He told her that his business would be ruined if they did not at least go through the cere- mony. He declared that they could be married, live apart, asume none of the duties of man and wife and apply for an annulment of the con- tract. Friends were consulted and one of them purchased a fring whilé the couple procured a wedding license. A hurried ceremony took place at the parsonage, at the door of which they parted. Two days later the girl sought an anullment of the ,marriage. The circuit court refused her prayer. The Supreme Court of the state was appealed to and in a recent decision it was held: “A marriage is regarded as a civil contract at its inception. The minds of the parties must meet in good faith for the purpose of carrying “out the contract and the assumption of the duties of man and wife, With- out such intent, words and ceremon- ies will not make a valid marriage contract.” The court decided the plamtxtf was entitled to the relief prayed for and a. decree was entered awarding the anullment of the xymrrige. ) NCHRRR S OPEN NEW GARAGE, REPAIR SHOP ON CENTRAL AVENUE Johnson & McCulloch are the pro- prietors of a new garage which has just recently been completed on Cen- tral avenue in Nymore.
