MISS ST. CLAIR
VICTOR In COURT
Actress Gets Verdict for $22, 500
Against Firm of Klaw
& Erlanger.

New York. Dec. 6-Miss Edith St Clair,
for several years in Klaw & ErIanger's
productions. to-day won a verdict in the
Supreme Court for $3.50 against her
former employers.
The finding of the jury before Justice
PendletOn indirectly cleared Max D.
Steuer Of the charge of ''blackmair' pre-
ferred by Abraham L. Erlanger in his
answer to Miss ST. Glars suit The
jurors found that the evidence did not
sustain the Klaw & Granger defense
namely. that they were compelled by
Steuer to sign Miss St Clair's contract
under duress.
Concerning this awful stuff that Mr.
Erlanger saw fit to spit out IN court to
show his vehemenCe against Mr.. Steuer."
said Edmund l.. Mooney. in summing up
for Miss ST. Clair, Il may say that
don't think Mr.. Steuer will ever be able
TO fully recover from it. The charge OF
perjurer, jury fXer and blackmailer, in
jected into this pI OCeeding by Erlanger
without the shadow Of proof can never
be satisfactorily disapproved even by an
innocent man. I hope my voice Will reach
to San Francisco. for It is the only Justi-
fiCation for Mr.. Steuer."
The last minutes OF the bitter legal bat
tie in which the former actress was only
nominal lltigant were charged with
dramatic emotion.
