SALEM GIRL sues
DUKE MANCHESTER
American Actress Alleges Breach
Of Promise.
WERE CRONIES IN LONDON
Miss KnIght Was Graduate Of Academy
Of Sacred Heart at Salem Where
Her Father Was an Al.
torney.

LONDON. March 6.-The Manchester
sensation promises 70 rival the West
minister scandal. Although the Duke Of
Manchester asserts that the writ has
not been served upon him In a suit
for alleged breach Of promise this is
quite immaterial az the writ has been
issued and proceedings have COM
menced.
This Is an entirely Unexpected sequel
to one Of the most interesting mar
riages by an American heiress and rep
resentatlye of the British peerage and
It's inception Is but shortly after the
Duke Of Manchester 90 suddenly made
Miss Zimmerman a duchess.
Miss knights allegations are not yet
obtainable but IL Is evident that she is
in earnest and that suit was brought
without any idea OF gaining publicity.
She is about the same age as the Duke
cf Manchester. possibly a trifle older.
Their acquaintance began. a represent
ative OF the Associated Press is In
formed, when Miss Knight was living
in Stirmins mansions In London. where
the duke frequently visited. Employees
OF the mansion say the acquaintance
rlpened TO a stage where they quar-
relied frequently and that the visits
continued until only six months ago
when the duke no longer called there
and Miss knight took a fiat elsewhere.
She is now living in London amid
friends Of position and means. Unlike
the duchess, Miss knight is a pro-
nounced brunette with an olive com
plexion.
Miss Knight said she was glad to
hear that papers had been served in
Liverpool Il regret that this affair
has become public she said. Il
thought It would be done in camera. l
do hope 1t will not be taken up by the
American papers. l have brought suit
not because desired publicity but be-
cause | felt in duty bound to all my
friends here In England. Fol their sake
as we'll as my own, have every. wish
that the proceedings should be as
quiet as possible.
II only met the Duke Of Manchester
since l came to England ysar ago.
But, really, must refer you TO my
solicitors
When Miss Knights solicitors were
called upon they declined to give any
details or to do more than to confirm
the report that Miss knight had COM
menced action.

we have little doubt that General
Botha will surrender The question now
