The Constitution, Atlanta October 11, 1903
Knoxville Tn., Oct. 10-Special
in the circuit court Chancellor Sneed, in habeas corpus proceedings, decided 
the case of L. R. Early v. William Bradford, holding that the plaintiff Early 
could not have custody of his child wife, Artie Bradford aged 12, and the 
daughter of the defendant.  Early sought her on the grounds that they were 
married in Fannin county, Georgia.  Under the Georgia laws a bride must be 14 
before a legal marriage.  The wife stated in court that she did not want to 
live with her husband, but had been persuaded by him to run away and marry.  
Father and daughter left for their home.
Early is 40 years old.
