Attachment in City Court.
The third chapter in the tribulations
of Max Rubin the young man who
though engaged to a Providence girl
after entering into an agreement to
marry Miss Rachael March, the sister
of his business partner, skipped out
on the wedding eve, and subsequently
returned to find his name erased from
the sign which hung above the door,
was added yesterday, when a suit for
breach of promise was instituted
against him in the City Court, his mall
treated fancee alleging that because
Of his action in leaving her in the
urch she has been endamaged in the
sum of $500.
What is more to the point she pro-
duces a written agreement between
them, wherein it is agreed that upon
HIS ldlluit " marry IGI dS III OiIlioSdi
or upon her refraction of the solemn
| compact, the one guilty of the re-
fraction shall be indebted to the other
in the sum of $500. She alleges in her
breach of promise suit that not only
did Max Rubin seek her company and
pay her all the confidential affection
and loving attention that is customary
|
he offered her his hand. and she Of
fered hers in marriage.
The agreement was drawn up in He
brew. The intended Mrs. Rubin re-
cites in her suit that she made full
| and costly preparation for the APP
| preaching nuptials, and that she was
| the recipient of many and costly pres
ents. But, she says, he skipped out
on the eve of the nuptials, and though
she has remained willing and anxious
to set sail with him upon the sea of
matrimony he refuses to make good
his oft repeated expressions of affec-
ton and wish to become hers.
Johnny on the Spot"
But the most interesting chapter of
all his experiences was enacted yester-
day afternoon, and came as an after
math to the filing of the suit. Rubin
| did not know that the suit had been
instituted, but had gone to the office
of Mr.. w. f. Slater for the ostensible
purpose of settling up the partnership
squabble between him and the Marcus.
An agreement, by the terms of which
Rubin was to receive $500 for his in
terest in the partnership with March,,
the brother of Rachael, had just been
| signed by both parties, and March, was
in the act of handing Rubin the cash,
when in walked Sheriff Horrigan and
| arrested the payment of the money by
a garnishment proceeding predicated
on the suit which had a few minutes
before been instituted in the City
Court.
Sheriff Horrigan had been waiting
in the adjoining room, and at a given
signal made his appearance. This was
| apparent to Mr.. Simon Gazan, who
| represented Rubin. He stated in I'M
mlstakable terms his surprise and in
dignation at having been led into a
trap, and a heated argument followed.
| After considerable comforting, counsel
for Rubin consented to return the
partnership agreement by which he
lost all interest in the firm. The $500
was, however, taken in tow by Sheriff
| Horrigan, and remains subject to the
order of the court.
Marriage Contract Drafted.
Rubin's matrimonial and business
| ventures have been muChly interviewer
since he first came to Savannah a short
while ago. At that time he entered
into the partnership with March,, the
money invested being furnished him by
his finance in Providence. The busl-
ness became quite renumerative. and
in due time Marcus three brothers
were made members of the firm. II
was at about this time that Rubin be-
gan to play the devoted. Then the
Marcus approached him and asked him
to marry their sister Rachael, tc
which proposition he gave his willing
consent. Accordingly the marriage con-
tract was drafted.
On the eve of the wedding Rubin
fearing that the Providence girl might
stall at the marriage did the grand
dig, Jacksonville, being the round up OF
his hot-foot. There he intended to re.
main, but the native hue of resolution
became sicklied DER by the pale cas-
of thought and he returned to face the
music. He presented himself at police
barracks. There he was told thai
he was not wanted. Then he reported
at business headquarters, where NJ
found that his name no longer huns
above the door.

But it seems, they were unable Il

attachment was to be dismissed, the
