ST. CLAIR CASE A MISTRlAl
Abrupt Termination Follows
Wrangle Between Counsel.

The trial Of Miss Edith St Clair, an
actress, against Klaw & Erlanger, over a
COX 900 contract, before Justice Page In the
Spnrerne Court, ended yesterday in mis-
trial. following a wrangle between VIII
lam Travers Jerome. counsel for the the
atrlcal managers, and John V. Bowler
ir., counsel for Miss St. Clair. Mr.. Bou-
yier was fined $50 by Justice Page for
contempt Of court for persisting IN ask
ing Abraham L. Erlanger, while wit
ness. a. question 10 which Mr.. jerome had
objected and the court had ruled out.
Mr.. Erlanger said on the stand that
Max D. steuer called on him as counsel
for Miss ST. Clair and asked for the
s25, 900, and that he made the contract
through fear that suit might be brought
by Miss ST. Clair TO enforce an alleged
oral agreement, which was supplanted
by the contract. and he wanted 10 save
his wife the unpleasantness of such
situation. Mr.. Erlanger said under cross
examination that Mr.. Steuer had covertly
threatened publicity unless he made the
contract for the payment OF $4,000.
Mr. Bowler asked Mr.. Granger wheth-
er what Mr.. Steuer told him about Miss
ST. Clair was news TO him. The reply was
that the matter Of the suit was new. The
attorney asked: But when he said that
YOU had done wrong with Miss St. Clair,
that was no news to your The reply was
No" Then you admit you did a
wrong?" Certainly, did wrong. and
feared IL. as any sane man would Mr.
Granger maintained, however, that he
had wronged only his wife. Mr.. Bowler
persisted in bringing In the divorce OBJ
tained from Mr. Erlanger by his Wife
Justice Page sustained an objection by
Mr.. Jerome, and when Mr.. Bowler con-
tinued along the same line the court fined
him $50. the attorney excepting to the
ruling OF the court.
The end Of the short trial came when
Miss st. Clair's lawyer asked Mr. Erlan-
ger II he had not made affidavit that his
wife. whose feelings he sought to spare,
was "a vandal. perJurer and
bgamist" Mr.. Jerome moved that a
Juror be withdrawn and a mistrial de-
clared. Justice Page granted the motion.
and the trial came to en- abrupt close. The
case will again come up for trial, prob
ably within two weeks.
