WOULD SPEND ON OTHER GIRLS
A VERDICT FOR BROKEN HEART
Indiana Girl Says She Is
Not Mercenary in Suing
on a Breach Of Promise
Claim-Her Action is a
Warning Signal, She Says.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Miss Freda
Albright, a pretty young woman of
Crown Point, Ind. Is suing Thomas
C. Dougal, manufacturer, OF Chica-
go, for $4,000 SO she may establish
an institution wherein unmarried
young women may be taught how
to earn their livelihood. Incidental
ly they may be instructed how to
escape the wiles of men.
Miss Albright visited the family
of Thomas Mccarthy, 10 Mohawk
street, Chicago, last winter. Her
friends there gave a dance in her
honor. Among the guests was Dou-
gal, who won her. The day for the
wedding was one of disappointment
and humiliation for the Indiana
beauty. The appointed hour passed
and inquiry then revealed that Dou-
gal had some weeks previously de-
cided to wed Miss Margaret Kerr
of 1447 North Whipple street.
The young woman was greatly
shocked and suffered mental an
guish," which it is estimated can
only be assuaged by the payment of
$4,000.
