Crowd Gathered and Excitement
Was High-OAicer Was Given Keys
to Another StOre-Had to Break
Door Down.
The fourth chapter in the Marcus
March, Narrow Rubin case was enact
ed last night, when, after an applica-
ton had been made to the Superior
Court by the much litigated Rubin for
a receivership for the four Marcus
brothers and the sheriff and the re-
stores, an embroglio ensued which
came near ending in several arrests.
Rubin applied to the Superior Court
for a receiver for the firm of Mar
Gus Brothers, composed of Aaron, I.
NJ, M, and E. Marcus. Mr.. Max
Lehwald was appointed temporary re-
ceiver. The Marcus Brothers conduct
two stores, one on Broughton street
and the other on Whitaker street, and
the application was made for a receiv-
er for both. In company with the
sheriff, the receiver went to take
charge of the Broughton street store.
Excitement Prevailed.
When the officers arrived they found
an excited crowd in front of the store.
Several were talking at one time, and
&c "a dir fairly
livid The excitement finally grew so
intense that the police had to dispel
the crowd. And it was all because ).
F. Kassel, a cousin of the Marcus, had
laid claim to the property in dispute,
The attorneys for the parties at vari-
ance, Mr. f. NJ. Oliver for Rubin and
Mr.. Colding for the Marcuses, were
sent for and the din at the Broughton
street store was hushed.
1t was decided to let matters relative
to the store remain in allegiance until
this morning, when a preliminary hear
ing on the applica ton for a receiver
will be held. The defendants have
been enioined from disposing of any of
their goods in the meantime.
The trouble had just begun at the
Broughton street store, however. When
the officers asked for the keys to the
Whitaker street store. a bunch was inn
forthcoming,an and they went to
take possession. On reaching the store,
they found they had been duped, and
the keys which they had couldn't be
made to fit. After repeated futile eff
forts, the officers were obliged to break
down the door, and a Waterman was
placed in charge.
A Chapter of Incidents.
The Marcus March, Marrow Rubin
case has been fought in the Superior,
City and justice courts all at the same
time for several months, the litigation
embodying intricate business outlets,
love episodes and breach of promise
cases. 1t began when Rubin, unlike
the subject of the popular song, left
town. He had been in business with
the Marcuses, and the Marcus brothers
had induced him to marry their sis
ter, Rachael. But at the last minute
Rubin ducked.
The second chapter began with the
return of Rubin to Savannah He
sought police headquarters at once and
gave himself up, but he was told that
he was not wanted Shortly after
wards a girl from Providence, a Miss
Narrow, put in an appearance and in
sututed proceedings against the unfor-
tunate Rubin. 1t appeared that he
had borrowed 5000 from her with which
TO embark in business, and it was for
this that the Tilted f1ancee sued.
His Fiancee i'm Arms.
The third chapter was enacted when
breach of promise proceedings were
instituted by the Savannah lady whose
affections Rubin had scorned. She pro-
duced a paper wherein Rubin agreed
to marry her, and in the event of fail
ure to do so, to give her $500. Rubin
had left the Providence girls loan
secured by notes aggegating the
of the loan; but when he ask
ed the Marcuses for the notes they re-
ferred him to a friend who held them
in escrow He refused to give them
up. Then a claim was instituted by
the Providence girl.
The fourth chapter has just begun,
and it is probable that there will be
some stormy incidents before it closes.
The brief review of the case given
above does not include many incidents
which in themselves were entirely out
of the ordinary, such, for instance, as
an occasion when a trick was practiced
in a lawyers office, whereby certain
funds were attached by service of
under most peculiar cir
Under the pretense that
a money settlement was about to be
accepted, Marcus attorney, who is not
the same one he has now, had an Of
hcer placed behind a door, and when
the money was being passed, the Of
hcer stepped from behind the door at
a given signal and attached the funds.
