Sigmond Gerothwohl an insurance broke r
at 149 Broadway, and for some years Mrs.
Anna Rohter's star boarder at 14s East
Sixtieth street, was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Porges upon an order signed
by Justice Amend OF the Supreme Court,
in en- action instituted against him b.
Frederick Hans Rohter, who seeks to
recover s25, 600 for alienation of Mrs.
Rohter's affections. Gerothwohl, failing to
give bail in IS 1000, was locked UP in Ludlow
Street Jail.
William j. Walsh, Rohter's counsel who
secured the order for Gerothwohl's arrest
said that the defendant had, when he found
proceedings were pending, removed from
Mrs. Rohters house TO 1928 Bathgate
avenue, The Bronx.
Rohter's complaint alleges that he and
Mrs. Rohter were married in Berlin on
Oct. 81, 1888, and had no children. Rohter,
in a long affidavit, goes on to say that after
his marriage he and his wife lived here and
in London, where she adopted a six-nonths-
old boy, who was still living with her and
who was baptized Fritz Hans Rohter. 1t
was through the boy, he says, that he was
warned OF his wife perhdy. Rohter goes
on to say:

Rohter said the letters were written in
German, but that he has had them trans
lated. He felt especially indignant, he ex-
plains, when he found that Gerothwohl
sometimes called Mrs. Rohter -Lottie.'
while he was known to her by the endear-
ing appelation of "Siggy.'. The letters
are appended to an affidavit. Here are
samples:
