Waiting.
From the New York Sun.
Reading, Pa, Nov. 24-The verdict of
$500 yesterday to Sophia Gehring for her
twenty-two-year courtship in vain ended
an odd love story revealed in court before
Judge Endlich, Daniel Mayer was the de-
PENDANT. His mother for years operated a
large bakery here Mayer and Miss Geh-
ring became acquainted in 1875. Twenty
two years ago Mayer began paying atten-
lions to her and at the close of the first
year he proposed marriage to her She
accepted him. Mayer made a condition
that he would not marry until his widowed
mother died. She was then in feeble
health Miss Gehring agreed 20 this, be-
cause she was then but 20 years of age.
Widow Mayer became stronger, ana she
continued living. Mayer continued his
wooing, and Miss Gohring was content 10
continue waiting. Year after year rolled
around and the couple saw each other
growing old but the Widow Mayer contin-
ued living, and her son would not marry
until she died. The widow lived until
1897. when she died, and then Miss Gehring
looked to her lover. who was then 50 years
old, to keep his word. He said he would
After his mothers funeral he bought "A
house on North Ninth street ana said he'd
start a bakery.
The day was set fer the wedding. but
when 1t arrived Mayer again asked for a
postponement. Later Miss Gehrlng says
Mayer told her he did not intend TO get
married at all, because he had "such pain
i'm his head" Miss Gehring told him If he
didn't keep his word he'd get more pain In
his entire body in court Then she wept,
and Mayer said he pitied her. Next he
told her that he'd rather pay her than
marry her
He had called on her three or four times
week Miss Gehring is tall, handsome,
robust and attractive, and most excel
lent housekeeper and Of good character
and reputation. No one could say that
she had ever had any other company.
Mayer tod Miss Gebrng he was worth
about $1,000. Miss Cehring sewed and did
millinery work fer a living, and Mayer
frequently told her that after his mother
died she would not have to work for a
living.
Witnesses testified that they had heard
Mayer admit that he had promised to wed
Miss Gehring, but that he had decided he'd
rather pay her a sum of money. Mayer
defence was that he had never promised
20 marry the woman, but that they sim
ply kept company. On the first ballot the
Jury fixed upon 81, 500 as the amount OF
damages to which Miss Gehring IS enti-
tied
