Demurrer of Wealthy Owen
Burns Overruled, He Must
Defend Action.
S H E CT AIM S FIR A U D.
Induced, She Declares, to Sign
Deeds at Yacht Club Din
ner of RECONCILIATION"

when Owen Burns, of Chicago and
Now York, president OF the W. r,
Burns Manufacturing Company, sued
| his beautiful young wife, Dorothy for
divorce, naming fellow-mcmbers Of
the Calumet Club, Chicago, now living
here, she denied tho charges. She also
declared he had been disagreeable since
their honeymoon days at Salt Lake
| City, through trip to Europe and
home again, where she was between
the fires OF his temper and his septu-
agenarian mothers whims ut their
magnificent home, Burns Terrace, In
wood
They had been separated two Of the
three years since he induced her to
leave her place as cloak model In Chi
cago and become his wife. when. on
June 20 last. she received from him an
invitation to family dinner at the
Columbia Yacht Club.
Mrs. Burns has sued TO nullfy the
result OF what happened at the dinner
| She alleges In a complaint that her
husband got her to sign papers. tho
effect Of which she did no. know AZ the
time.
Signed Away Dover Rights.
Tho papers were deeds conveying
Burns Terrace. worth $4,000. owned
jointly by owen Burns and his sister,
Ursula c. Burns. and upon which her
husband told her there would be profit
of $4,000 while to hold on to the prop
erty It would mean loss of $4,000. She
signed away her dover rights TO this
big property, supposlng she was helping
along reconciliation, she declares.
Mrs. Burns was dumbfOunded, she
swears. when two days later a process
server gave her the papers In her hus-
bands suit for divorce upon charges
then only four days old.
In the present suit she sets forth all
this and demands payment of her dover
In the property, computing her share Of
the income at S5,6GS75, due on Juno -
last.
Demurrer Is overruled.
Mr.. Burns submitted a demurrer. and
| the case was argued before Justice
Blanchard. David May, for the wife,
commended that the complaint set forth
a cause OF action. when II alleged that
| the receptions and fraudulent represen-
tations OF owen Burns, her husband,
who had intlmated only friendly feelings
toward her up to that time. induced her
TO sign the deeds
Justice Blanchard to-day overruled
the demurrer. He said:
THE demurrer impliedly admits the
marriage OF the parties, the ownership
OF tho property. and the wrongful acts
OF Burns and the existence of Mrs.
Burns's dover interests. The complaint
demands money damages, and the
amount thereof can be determined upon
the trial by proof of the age Of Mrs,
Burns (she is twenty-four), the value
OF the property and by use OF the
Northampton tables as to her prospect
OF life"
So Owen Burns will have to defend
his wltes suit
