While relatives and friends
of Josephine Barone were pre­
paring to celebrate her recent
mnrriuge to her cousin, Hain
Kclatta, the girl fled to officials
of the juvenile court and asked
protection. Site said she was
an American gifl, wanted to ex­
ercise h"-r right to marry whom
she chose and was tired of be­
ing kidnapped by relatives who
insisted upon carrying out the
Italian custom of picking a hus-
band for her. The last time,
she said, her brother, James,
and his wife carried her off to
Kentucky und compelled her to
go through a civil ceremony
with Heiatta, then brought her
back homo pending a rellgiou.i
ceremony. She escaped and
took refuge iji a police station.
