DrussinS Her as Part Of a
Well-Laid plOt.
AWOKE In TIME TO THWART HIM.
Her Good Teeth Are Gme, However, and
Now She Brings Three Suits for S27,-
900 for Alleged Damages.

Miss Marion Crane Is twenty-one years
old and an orphan. She is n very pretty
girl with big gray eyes. In February
last she answered an advertisement
calling for an assistant or cashier in
pharmacy. The person who inserted
the advei tsement was DIR. Adolph Mais-
ner, dentist at Eighty-ninth street and
Lexington avenue. Maisner is the son
of rabbi and is married. He engaged
her to answer the doorbell and look
after his two lit tie children. She was to
be treated as a friend and companion
The friendly relations between herself
and her employer were suddenly rup-
tured, however. and she now has three
actions for damages pending in the
Court of Common Pleas against Maisner
She brings the actions through Lawyer
Daniel NJ. Newberger. In suit for
SIS, 900 damages for assault she says that
while she was employed by Maisner she
told him that certain of her teeth re-
qured retilling and he promised to do
what was requisite in that respect She
says that after Maisner removed the fill
ing from the teeth he told her that the
teeth were not strong enough to bear new
filling. and suggested that they should
be extracted and an artificial set intro
duced inst cad. Miss Crane says that
Maisner's representations were false,
but she did not know 1t at the time.
The defendant suggested that she should
be subjected to an anaesthetic, 80 as to
render her insensible to the pain of ex-
tracing the teeth. and to this she
agreed. She charges now, however. that
this proposition of the defendant was
made for the purpose of enabling him
the more readily to attempt to assault
her. After she had agreed to be put
under the influence OF an anaesthetic
she demanded that another woman
should be present in the room during
the whole OF the operation. This, she
says. the defendant acceded to, and Sc
cured the attendance of another woman
Feb. "a last. The plaintiff says that
while she was under the influence of the
anaesthetic, the defendant. as part of
his plan to accomplish her ruin, caused
the other woman to leave the room, leav-
ing her alone with the defendant. He
then attempted his purpose. she de-
clares. She recovered from the effects
of the anaesthetic before he succeeded
and she says he then refused to insert
the artificial teeth unless she yielded to
his demands. This she refused to do,
and she Is now without the natural or
artificial means of masticating her food
She claims that by reason of his treat
ment she became i'll. and she asks for
S25, 900 damages for the modification of
mind and the injury to her maidenly
dignity.
She brings another action to recover
s., 900, claiming that Maisner removed
certain sound teeth and failed to Substi-
tute other teeth of a serviceabe kind
In the third action, which Is also OF a
similar nature. she also claims s., 900 dam
ages.
on June / DIR. Masner served an an
swer. denying the attempted assault, and
saying that there were two women pres
ent continuously during the operation.
In an amended answer served June G. he
changes front and denies that he engaged
her as his assistant, but says mat he
agreed to do certain dental work for her
for compensation. He says that the
anaesthetic was given at her request,
and this time says that there was an
other woman present at the beginning Of
the operation. Finally, he denies that he
attempted TO assault her or that re re-
fused 20 insert the artificial teeth unless
she acceded to his demands. To the
other two actions he makes a general de-
NAL. A motion to compel Maisner to
give the name of the woman he claims
was present during the operation on Miss
Crane will be argued on Wednesday.
Lawyer Newberger refused to ;alk OF
the matter yesterday except to say that
his client was a woman of irreproa chable
character.
