SIX MONTHS
OPTION ON
THE GIRL

Pittsburg, May l3-Sharp and decisive
were the clashes in the United States
court where Miss Edith Gibney of ST.
Louis is suing Klaus J. Steiner for $50
900 for breach OF promise OF marriage.
The p1afntfh-s lawyers Unexpectedly
rested at noon after reading about 5000
morew ords OF burning love letters from
Steiner 10 Miss Gibney, when they were
engaged.
The defence opened with Steiner on
the stand and most of the afternoon
was taken up with his testimony, the de-
fence taking the gorund that an engage
ment 10 marry had existed, but that Miss
Gibney, and not Steiner. had terminated
that engagement
Whether Miss Gibney wins or loses she
will be famous as "the human option. ="
a term which. by a happy thought
through an unhappy admission by the de-
iendant mat he had "a six months op-
ton" on the ST Louis girl Therefore,
Miss Gibney was referred not infrequent-
ly as "the option" instead of 'the plain
tiff"
Under cross-examination. Miss Gibney
stood a scathing fire of questions by At
torney Dickey, but she kept her head
well. She denied emphatically that she
had agreed TO allow the engagement TO
SO on six months probation, a proba-
ton which the defence had served notice
it would bring into the case.
She said that on the request OF his
family she had agreed to extend the time
to six months. but she had never broken
the engagement
The question Of religion here was
brought In, Il having been claimed that
the objections Of the Steiner family TO
Miss Gibney were based on the discovery
that she was a Roman Catholic, while he
is a Protestant.
Miss Gibney declared that Steiner on
his family were aware OF her religious
belief and had frequently said they had
no objections
Miss Marguerite Gibney Of St Louis
sister OF "the option" created some mer
riment on the stand by saying, when
Mr.. Steiner came TO our home in ST
Louis We took him in as one Of the fam
lily. so that he might live as one of us
and see and know just how we lived and
who we were.
Before ne had been in the house n
day one would think Prince Bountiful was
our guest. He turned the house into
conservatory and spent a great part
OF his time on his knees before NV
mother thanking her for having brought
into the world such a girl as Edith for
his wife"
Steiner did not seem TO have a trace of
nervousness through the calling fire
which Mr. o Brien, in examination.
poured into him. But when he spoke the
fatal word option" the courtroom shiv-
cred with mirth any many OF the iurv
grinned as Mr.. o'Brien payed on the
word.
