H. H. Voss, a ynnj: marrie?l man of thi?
city, wan arrested yesterday afternr*on on
a warrant charging him with falsely and
feloniously ?wearing before the Clerk of
the Rusting* Court that Mus Martha a ios
Mollis Amos was twenty-one years old,
whereas in truth eho was only sixteen
years old.
The oath, whether true or false, was
made in order to procure a marriage-license
for the young lady named and Mr. James
Voss, who were subsequently married, and
BBS etrimillnlsBiiSS of the case are ?s OOSBBRoetSd

dwelt. They eoem to be atsmt as follows :
On the 1st of list .September a double wed?
ding norurred at the horno of Mr?. L Voeu, which
Is situated on the southeast corner of Fourth and
Marshall str?*els. The two J?vous couples um'
Mi. Ii"ti?atnlii Am?? and Mrs.Vlrtrlnia Williams,
a IStdOWsd daughter (,f Mrs. V.s-s, and Mi.

While the roman?, and complication? of this

The prisoner was seen yesterday by a Dispatch
