AN ACTRESS DAMAGE SUIT,
Demands Fifty Thousand Dollars From
q peDnsylyanIa Judge

Pennsylvania Judge.
New York. May 6.-Louise Won Lin
dau, once a popular actress, has
brought suit for $4,000 against Judge
William A. Galbraith, of Erie, Pa.
According to the woman's counsel,
Judge Galbraith induced Miss Lindau
to leave the stage and go to Europe
for musical and dramatic study at his
expense, the agreement being that
when she had completed her course
he should exploit her on the American
boards. She was to receive $4,000 a
year, but no remittances came after
her arrival on the other side. Then she
was forced to pledge her valuables.
Soon after this she met with a se-
we're accident, and was sent to the
Havre hospital. One of the surgeons
asked her to marry him. and in her
perplexity she confided In the American
consul. Oscar F. Williams, who COM
municated with Judge Galbraith, tell
ing him on behalf of Miss Lindau
that IL he would forward $1,000 she
would renounce all claims on him.
Judge Galbraith agreed to this, but he
failed to send the money. AS a result
Miss Lindau broke off the engagement
returned to America, and now seeks
satisfaction.
