FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.
Millionaire New Yorker Made Defend

ant in Sensational Suit.
New York, June 14.-Meyer Guggen-
helm, a millionaire, with vast
mining and smelling interests, has been
made defendant in a breach of promise
suit for 100000 brought by Miss Han
nah Mcnamara, who AYERS that for
twenty seven years she has been the
consort of the aged capitalist and has
accompanied him on his travels under
the name of Mrs. Meyer"
Mr.. Guggenheim founded the BUSH
ness which is now represented by his
sons in the American Smelling and Re-
filming Company and the Guggenheirn
Exploration Company. His wealth and
that of his seven sons is estimated at
s50,000.00o. The father is &c years old.
and has retired from active business.
The papers in the suit were filed
some time ago by the womans lawyers,
but by mutual agreement no publicity
was given to the case. 1t practically
was forced into the supreme court yes
terday by a motion made by Miss Nc
Namaras attorneys that preference be
given it because Of the increasing fee
bleness OF the defendant. This allega-
ton is one of the most remarkable that
has ever been made in a ciyn proceed
ing In this country. The plaintiff takes
the ground that she fears the death of
the defendant may come before her
case is reached on the regular calendar,
and she says that such an event would
leave her penniless and without means
OF support. This motion was denied
upon presentation Of an affidavit that
the defendant was not in feeble health.
Miss McNamara's application Is ac-
companied by a long affidavit, in which
she says Meyer Guggenheim began
counting her twenty sevent years ago.
After the death OF his wife, she says.
he spoke frequently of marriage to her.
and fixed the time for the ceremony as
April i, 1903. On that day they We're
to be married, she alleges, but he was
sick and SO postponed the ceremony. 1t
was next fixed for April !, 1904, she
swears. but again it was postponed by
Mr.. Guggenheiln. Believing that he
might die and that anyway he did not
mean to keep his repeated promises to
her. she says she decided to bring suit
against him.
