4 S| < KONAPIG CAARGE DECLAED RAKET Gypsy-Prince Says Wife, 14, Was Purchased From Fa- ther, Not Stolen. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 12— The domain of Ephriam Marks, 28- year-old Gypsy “prince,” was bounded by the four walls of a prison cell todar, while Federal authorities tried t» decide whether his 14-year-old bride had been kidnaped or purchased according to tribal custom. Racket Is Alleged. Prank Ranco of Brooklyn, N. Y., father of the girl bride, Ruby, charged she had been kidnaped from a Brooklyn theater three months ago and forced to marry Marks. The Gypsles replied that Marks paid the father $2,250 for the girl, according to Gypsy law. Ranco. they charged, was working a “kidnap racket. Ruby, who also said she was kid- naped. was found in the camp of “Queen” Amelia Marks, 48, yesterday by deputy sheriffs led by Ranco, who s3id he had followed the Gypsy band through Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. Mrs. Marks, her son and his bride were taken to jail i “Selling his girl is Ranco's racket,” said “Queen” Amelia. “He traces her down and then reclaims her by asking police to help him.” Worked Trick Before. George Marks, brother of the pris- oner. added that “it is the gypsy law that'a man must pay for his wife.” and asserted he was & witness to the pur- chase of Ruby. Pete Sterlo, another tribesman, told officers Ranco “‘worked the same trick” with another daughter on a brother of Sterio's at Ottawa. Canada, several years ago. The young bride said she was forced to marrv Marks before R. A. Klinton, & Brooklyn justice of the peace. Klinton could not be located by the Brooklyn officers. Ranco said he did not wish to prosecute and only wanted his daughter back. The gypsies mtimated they would fight to keep her. Lieut. Comdr. Frank O. Wells, de- tached navy yard, New York, N.
