Hoffman, who resided five miles north of Fort Wayne on the Cook road, sought legal means to undo the marriage of his daughter, because she was only 15 years of age. Her husband, with whom she eloped and married after an all-night ride in Hettinger's car across the Illinois state line, was made defendant in the habeas corpus action by which Hoffman sought to secure possession of his daughter. Attorneys for the father filed the writ and the evidence was heard in superior court No. 2 with Judge George H. Leonard on the bench. It was claimed that the marriage was void because Ruth told the minister who married them that she was 19 years of age. Judge Leonard , who heard the case found for the defendants. It was shown through the girl-wife's evidence that she was not restrained against her will at the Hettinger home, where she and her husband had resided since their marriage. The question of the validity of the marriage although not necessarily a part of the habeas corpus writ, also was brought into the discussion. Judge Leonard ruled that the marriage was not void but voidable. Only an action brought by the wife can bring about an annulment and this is extremely doubtful as Mrs. Hettinger told the court that she was happy and wanted to stay where she was. The evidence disclosed that Hettinger, the young husband, is working regularly and earning from $50 to $60 per week.
