A CURIOUS SUIT.
MRS. T. c. GALE VS.. GRACE /
HOWARD.
A Novel Point OF Law About the Rent-
ing of Property for Immoral Pur-
poses-Judge shaw's
Opinion.

A novel suit for unlawful detainer WAS
tried before Judge Shaw yesterday after
noon. 1t was an action brought by Mrs.
T. @. Gale We. Grace 1. Howard, for the
possession of the premises at the corner
OF Alameda and Turner streets, occu-
pied by the defendant as house of Ill
fame. 1t seems that Mr.. Van Nuys
held mortgage on the property and
foreclosed it. Afterwards he executed q
deed to Mrs. Gale for the property and
placed it in escrow, giving him a chance
to redeem it.
A lease was made of the premises to
Grace I. Howard, and Mrs. Gale brought
the suit to have her elected, as she had
fallen behind in the rent. On the trial
yesterday the counsel for the defendant
tried to show that no person is allowed
to rent property for immoral purposes.
and such an act being illegal, they could
not come in and seek the relief demand
ed in this case. Judge Shaw could not
see the matter in that light, however,
and after hearing the testimony, gave
Judgment for the plaintiff.
