The bride told Captain Kelly that her father had | given her age to the police as 15, but she is 21, and she denied that health is not good, as her father reported.

Korian is 30 years of ags and a cousin of the bride. For some time he has made his home with the bride’s family, and his determination {to win her was strengthened when | her father not only objected to the match but selected another man to become bridegroom.
