A New Workers. Promise to a Widow
That Got Him Into Trouble.
A sensation in the shape OF a breach of
promise suit, in which the principals did a
portion of their counting in Savannah, is
the topic of the hour in New York.
Abram Collerd, Jr., a son of one Of
tho wealthiest real estate owners in
Jersey City, is opposing q suit for $40, 900
damages by q dashing widow, Mrs. Otis
Daniel. Mrs, Daniel lives at present at l41
West Tenth street. New York. She is
described as young, handsome and very
fascinating. When she lost her husband.
little more than year ago, she was living
in Atlanta. Collerd came south for his
health last winter. While visiting some
friends in Atlanta he met the widow.
From attidavits she has made the infor-
nation is gathered that she aud Colerd be-
came very warm friends within few hours
after they had been introduced. During
the next ten days they were much In each
others society, and Collerd paid her every
attention an honorable man does to the
woman he desires to marry"
Jan. 10 theater party was made up, but
Collerd suggested that quiet drive to Mari
eta would be more enjoyable. Mrs. Daniel
accepted the suggestion. She swears that
on the road TO Marietta Collerd asked her
finally consented When they had seen
everything worth seeing In Marietta night
had fallen. Collerd disiked the idea OF
driving back 90 Atlanta in the dark and
over road he was unfamiliar with, so he
aud the widow put up at the hotel
After that Mrs, Daniel accompanied Coll
lerd on the remainder of bis southern trip.
They went to Townsville and then came to
Savannah, remaining few days in each
place and registering in the hotels as "a.
Collerd and wife" From Savannah they
went to Richmond, and then to Washing
ton.
In her complaint Mrs. Danisl says she be-
gan to grow anxious about the marriage
ceremony, aud frequently asked Collerd
when 10 was TO be. He met her inquiries
with kiss, and invariably answered sin a
couple of weeks" Finally, they reached
New York and Collerd fitted up an elegant
fat at SIS West Twelfth street for his pros
pective bride. They lived there for some
time, until Mrs. Daniel insisted that the
marriage must take place to save her from
disgrace. Then, she swears, Collerd de-
serted her and she was forced to invoke the
aid of the law.
Collerd was arraigned before Supreme
Court Commissioner Cannon, and his bail
was fixed at 81, 900 this week. It is said
that his wealthy father will leave him to
his own resources
