Charlotte, Oct. 16—A jury in Mecklenburg Superior Court for trial of civil cases has returned a verdict declaring Miss Janice Proctor of Davidson capable of entering into a marriage state and declining to annul her marriage to Lewis Boette of Davidson, from whom her father and brothers, according to evidence presented in a hearing before Judge Lane last summer, took her forcibly as the wedding pair were returning from South Carolina.
The marriage took place last summer before a South Carolina justice of the peace. The parents of the young woman declared she was mentally incapable of entering the marriage state and assuming its responsibilities. A hearing before Judge Lane sought to have the marriage annulled on this ground. Several mental experts testified at the time. Judge Lane issued a restraining order which was to stand until the merits of the case could be decided by a jury.
