field lost $500 came out in Judge
Donovan's court Wednesday morning,
where Mrs. Rehfeld is suing Attorney
Arthur ID. Prosser, for the return OF
all money paid To him in excess OF
what she considers reasonable fee
for fighting her husbands bill for d.
vorce
Mrs. Rehfeld was divorced from her
husband after bitter fight, about
three years ago. The whole fight
hinged on the amount OF alimony the
wife was to receive. She demanded
$25,000, and refused to accept any
thing less. Her husband offered her
$4,000. but she refused the offer and
went into court. Naturally she was
exceedingly angry when Judge Hos
mer allowed her only $500. Her AT.
torney, who had endeavored to per
suade her to accept her husbands Of
fer, then put in a bill for $4,000 for
his services, claiming that he had
spent great deal OF time obtaining
the offer which she refused. This
amount was later reduced to 1900
and paid by Mrs. Rehfeld. She now
claims the charge was excessive, and
wants part OF 1t returned. Through
her attorney, James Pound. Mrs. Reh-
field claims that 5000 would have been
about the proper charge.
