State Before Marriage.
MOTHERS LETTER IN CASE
Father of Defendant Also
Makes Affidavit Saying He
Opposed Sons Matri-
monial Venture.

Because she had been warned before
and playwright that he was afflicted
with tuberculosis. Justice Newburger has
denied the motion of Mrs. Caroline c.
Keifer for aimony, pending the trial OF
her suit for a separation on the ground
OF cruelty and non-support. Mrs. Keiffer
is an actress, under the stage name OF
Caroline Trudell.
The warning to Mrs. Keiffer not to
marry the defendant was in the form of a
pleading letter from Keiher's mother,
which read:
1T is with hesitancy and deep regret
that | have 10 address you on a most
delicate matter. ] wish to warn YOU fror,
taking hasty step. 1t is about your
marrying my son. He is In no condition
to enter into matrimony. The last letter
from his physician at Topper Lake was
most unsatisfactory. As soon as my son
gets married his allowance will be with
drawn. Ny husband had to work very
for his old age. He expects his child 10
do the same.
mo doubt Lester will make good when
he is again In perfect health. Until then,
no additional responsibility should be put
on him. ] hope you will look at the
matter in the right light or course.
Lester is Of age, and If he insists on
marrying no one can prevent what would
be a serious misfortune. II he does, IT
will be entirely at his own and your
risk. II in the next year or so things
take a better turn, the matter can be re-
considered. In the mean time, | trust
you will understand me
Kelffers father. Lewis Keirer. is q
wealthy retired merchant. The actor first
met his wife at Upper Lake, in the Adj
rondacks, in the summer OF 1912. He had
gone there on the advice of his physician.
Ke!ffer denied the charges of cruelty on
which Mrs Keiffer Is suing. He made
affidavit he was unable TO pay alimony
because he had worked only fourteen
weeks since April. 1912. and had earned
only 500.
Justice Newburger decided that Mrs.
Kelffcr. having known in advance her
husband had tuberculosis and might be
unable to support her, must provide for
herself.
Keifrer's father made an affidavit, in
which he said: Il was opposed 20 my
sons marriage because he had tubercu-
losis. He is OF a most unusual and arts
