Marriage With Brother Ended,
Girl Returns to Foster Parents
By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26.—Al
attractive 18-year-old brunette, tol<
her 20-day-old marriage to her owi
brother never existed before the law
was back home with her foster
L parents today, waiting for her baby
I to be born.
i Juvenile Judge Wilfred Bradshaw
, explained to Virginia Wolfe Wil
liamson yesterday evidence showed
she and Leroy Williamson, 20, whom
she wed here January 6, nad the
same mother and probably the same
father.
"Under the law you never were
married,” he said, “and under the
law it is not necessary to annul the
marriage. But it might be wise to
have annulment proceedings.”
Virginia, a 90-pound slip of a
girl, when asked If she understood,
sobbed and said, “I don’t believe It,
but I’ll have to accept It.”
Born here, the two were separated
as babies. They met last April when
Leroy returned from a Lafayette
orphanage to take a casket trim
mer’s job. Their mother is dead.
His study of records convinced the
young man he and she were not re
lated. But he admitted Tuesday he
had been wrong, and went to Ur
bana, 111,, to live with an aunt. He
was not In court yesterday.
The girl went back to Mr. and
Mrs. Leroy Wolfe of Indianapolis,
who reared her. She said she was
expecting to become a mother In
July.
Make more use of care and much
less use of dare.
