DENTIST MUST PAY DEBT.
borrowed Money from Working Girl
Under Promise of Marriage,

Special to The Washington Herald.
Baltimore MD. Feb. 27-After being
out but few minutes, The jury in the
suit of Miss Rose Soladar. of Newark,
n J.. against DR.. Henry A Cherry. a
dentist Of this city. to recover $500
which she lent him on the strength Of
his promise to marry her, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff. Miss Soladar
was not only allowed the amount Of
her claim. but was granted by the jury
an additional S24. representing interest
on the original sum since Miss Soladar
first presented her claim against the
dentist more than a year ago.
The case was one Of the most unique
suits ever tried in this city. According
20 the testimony, about I'VE years ago
DR. Cherry, then a student in one of the
dental colleges in this city. met Miss
Soladar, who was a worker In a cigar
factory in Newark, n. J., and became
engaged 10 be married 10 her. On the
strength Of the engagement, it was
testified. Cherry. in order to pay his
way through college. borrowed certain
sums OF money from his fancee until
the total was $500, and comprised the
savings of the girl for years. When he
had all the money that she had, the
testimony showed. Cherry married an
other-a young woman Of this city.
When this news reached Miss SOladar
she came to Baltimore, and after con-
fronting Cherry, she demanded the re-
turn of the money. The suit followed.
The suit Is only the forerunner Of a
larger suit which has been brought by
Miss Soladar against Or. Cherry. and
which will be tried in the courts of
Baltimore County. In the other suit,
Miss SOladar Is asking for $4,000 dam
ages for alleged breach of promise TO
