But Worse, Mrs. Friedman Got Punched BE

Her Trunk. and She Gave Up . Ring
Value ss2S), n Can't Get II Back,
That wasn't a S125 diamond ring that
Mrs. Libbie Friedman OF 90 East 1l8th
street gave to Isaac Male, the ~bookbinder
Of 70 Crosby street, up at the summer board
ing house, at Hunter, N. Y, where theFried-
mans and Isaac Male went for q rest,
and the Friedmans insisted upon getting
chicken every other day for dinner and
they got salt herring instead and we're
accused of'taking some Of the hotel prop
erty when they were about TO return TO
New York last Tuesday, and the Friedmans'
trunk was searched and they were all taken
before the justice Of the peace. The ring
cost 1925.
Long before Mr.. Lyman Friedman and
his wife Lbbie engaged rooms and board
at Hunter that clause about the chicken
every other day was agreed upon between
the Friedmans and the boarding house
Mistress. Mr.. Friedman, who is a retired
merchant, insisted that he must AVE a
suficiency Of chicken and milk in return
Tor the Sl2 a week he and his wife agreed
70 part with. But he asserts that be didn't
get the chicken, and that he was accused
OF taking hotel property, and that Mrs.
friedman had to leave that diamond ring
which somebody had the nerve to say
cost only SIPS, when it really cost s325-as
security before the Friedmans could get
out OF town. Otherwise their vacation
Was a success.
According to the Friedmans and their
lawyer, X Henry Rosenberg OF % Park Row,
they had a wholelot Of chicken, a. per agree
ment, in the first part Of their stay. Then
one day when the Friedmans sat down to
the table, and husband and wife began play
July to quarrel over which was to have
The wishbone that day, they suddenly saw
nat the animal before them wasn't that
E1nd Of a chicken. It had no neck TO speak
o., which was one consolation, and It was
minus wings.
/, Mr.. Friedman took a taste. So did Mrs.
Friedman. Part Of the bird had scales on
II and IL tasted salty. Then the black truth
came Quit was a herring. And that
wasn't all for the next day there was another
,at herring and the next and the next.
anybody that has ever tried to eat thirty
.0aI IN thirty days can imagine what
'hiiy herring in thirty hours means.
" therefore, the ~Friedmans just wouldn't
sctand II and they decided 10 leave for their
nat In East llsth street and chicken. When

For some reason the maid obiected 10

ne chlokenless couple were detained at

yW2thd two or three hotel napkins and towels.
nnereupon the maid burst into O and
