EXPLORER SUES
FOR HEART BALM
UITED. AFTER ALL PREPATIONS
ARE MADE, HE ASKS FOR
DAMAGES.

NEW YORK. June 2s.--Not since
Russell Griswold, known as Ruzzie
Lamb" sued Mrs. Helen Smith, OF
Stamford, Conn, for $4,000, for an
alleged breach of promise several
years ago. has any man brought a
similar suit in this city, until today,
when Samuel Grecnhaum, an African
explorer, and veteran of the French
navy, filed suit in the Supreme court
againt his former sweetheart Miss
Leah Scher. He asks $4,000 damages
for an alleged breach Of promise to
marry.
In his complaint. Mr.. Greenbaum
says that he has already expended
much more than Sc, 600 on Miss Scher,
who is music teacher, twenty-three
years old, living with her mother. But
ne says he does not care for the
money All he wants is vindication.
He says that after all preparations
for the wedding were made. she back
ed out and refused TO keep her prom
Use, Mr.. Greenbaum says that if he
should recover a verdict he Will give
the money to charity.
In the only other case on record in
New York-that of "Ruzzie Lamb"
against the Stamford heiress, the jury
rendered a verdict in favor of the
woman defendant. without even leav-
ing their seats. 1t seems to be one
of those cases in which the law
doesn't work both ways. Whereas
juries frequently give verdlcts to young
women plaintiffs in cases of breaches
of promises. II is said that no jury
was ever known to give n verdict to
a man under similar circumstances.
