CORONER'S JURY HOLDS
ZOE CRADDOCK FOR DEATH
LAW MUST .GOVERN
LOVE, SAYS JUDGE
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 30.—Law
must govern love it love is to sue
ceed.
So ruled Thomas Buckner in an in-
formal decision handed down today
in the .natter of hasty marriage. He-
had just granted a woman a divorce
who had wed on two days' acquaint-
ance.
''The next legislature should take
up the evil of hasty marriage," the
judge said. "It should pass a law
tixinv the time for courtship. Peo-
ple should become acquainted with
each other before entering into the
solemn obligations of matrimony In
trying divorce cases I have found
that hasty marriage is at the bottom
of most of them.
"The legislature also should pass
a law prohibiting divorcees from
wedding again .until after a certain
time."

ing the winter with her brother, I
