14 Year Old Wife
While Yet a Child She is Abused by a Brute of a Husband.
The 14 year old wife of Gerardo Searano, a coal miner living at Marshall, Boulder county, appeared in Harper's court yesterday and wept freely as she told of the beatings she received from her husband. Augustina is her name and she is very pretty. She married Gerardo a year ago in Denver and they went to Marshall, where Gerardo got a job in a mine. On July 15 last, Gerardo beat the girl so badly that she ran away and came to her relatives in Denver. She was induced to return and they lived happily until two months ago, when she ran away again. Yesterday the girl swore out a warrant for her husband charging assault.
