To use the judicial utterance of Jus tice Greenbaum, who recently annulled the marriage of Mildred Rudd, New »¥ork's habitual runaway girl: “Under the latest enunoiations of the Appellate Courts, I suppose these trial marriages are very proper. I deplore ft very much, but there must be a de- oree for the plaintiffs (Mildred and her father, her legal guardian).” ‘Mildred ts the eighteen-year-old daugh- ter of George Rudd, who gained promi- mence as # member of the Rockefeller White Slave Grand Jury. In July, 1911, whe went to a merry little party with her two brothers. On her way she met Vin- cent Joseph Micarl, aged nineteen, who ‘was introduced to her as Vincent Daly. ‘The same night he asked her to marry | him and they ran away to New Haven, | ‘The next day they got a license and were wedded by a priest. YOUNG BRIDE RETURNS ALONE, TWO DAYS LATER. To her mother the bride sent @ tele- gram jubilantly announcing: “We are married and on our honey: moon. Your daughter, MRS. MICARL “Micarl," mused her mother, “why that's the name of the boy who is Mr. Mudd's chauffeur.” Then she talked it over with Mr. Rudd, who is @ wealthy retired reaj estate man in the Bronx, ond father Rudd said, tickled to death: “Well, !f Mildred runs away hereafter, Jet her husband get her. But on July 22, two days after the mar- riage, Mildred returned to her father's home without her husband. Papa Rudd met Vincent a few days later In New York and made the boy get down on his knees and promise to be good to Mildred. ‘Then he offered to give his “ daughter back to her husband, But Mil- dred had something to say about this. insisted that she had found out sho didn’t love “Vinny,” and thet she had > married him to eee if she could really Tove him. ‘Then the marriage annulment suit brought. Previous to this unsuccessful matri- monial venture Mildred had, in a year, run away from home four times. Her wanderlust first took her to Cairo, N. the walls and got away the second time. The third escape was to Hartford, Conn., an@ when she was found she told a weird story about kidnapping, Again @ ran away and wandered about the Gireets for several days, and, finally, she left with young Micart. TRIAL MARRIAGE 18 UPHELD BY HIGHER COURT. It was the Micari case that made Jus- tice Greenbaum stand aghast at the strange flaw in the law. Here were two young people who admittedly had @ trial marriage and the law could do nothing more than act as an instrument to legalize the affair, Previously, Justice Greenbaum had decided that marriages contracted under these circumstanc could nut be annulled by the wife, but the Appellate Division reversed his de- cision and called attention to tl marriage law in the following “It must be owned that the etatute (concerning annulmente) is incongruous, By one section a marriage Is absolutely yold from the time {ts nullity is declared hy @ court of competent jurisdiction, it either party thereto is under the age of eighteen years. By another section county and city clerks are apparently such persons if thelr parents consent. WHILE THAT INCONGRUITY OUGHT ‘Who'd think that in this Gtate there | ¥.
