ed with enticing and attempting to
marry Cleo Karusos, 14-year-old daugh

o1: a local fruit and confectionery
Kore. With the knowledge and consent
of the girl's mothet-, the young man
had gone to Newton where he tried
to secure license to marry,
fc-ther, learning of the affair,
after the girl and brought her
home.
The matter involved in the juvenile
court was with reference to the cus
tody of the child. -The judgment ..f
the- court was that the girl he com
mitted to the care of her father, A.
Karusos, until she is 21 years of age.
that she be placed n an educational
institution for giris, under the per
sonal supervision of some dependable
r.crson connected with the school. If
the girl's mother interferes with the
carrying out of the order of couH

session of Iredell recorder's court which
convenes next Monday. Not being
able to give bond, he was remanded to
