KLEIST SAYS BREITUNGS
POISONED WIFE'S MIND
Sues Wealthy Parents-in-law
for $25O,0O0 Damages for
Alienation.

WHITE PLAINS, ~. Y, June i.-Supreme
Court Justice Arthur s. Tompkins trans
ferred 10 tho Federal Court to-day an ac-
ton brought by Max Frederick Kleist
against Edward n. Breitung and Charlotte
NJ. Breitung for s25o.ooO damages. Kleist
charges alienation of Mrs. Kleists affec-
tons.
The defendants are the parents Of
Juliet Breitung. who was married TO
Kleist at Grace Church. New York, on
November 20. 1919. The plaintiff says
his father-in-law is multi-millionaire
and socially prominent. The action was
before Justice Tompkins on motion by
Kleists counsel. Joseph A. Shay. to give
the case a preferred position on the Juno
calendar. De Lancey Nicoll. representing
Mr.. and Mrs. Rreitung. in opposing the
motion said that the parties were resi-
dents OF different states. For that rear
son the case was sent TO the Federal
court.
In the papers submitted by Mr. Shay
Kleist charges that on November 80, 1913,
eight days after the wedding. his father
ln-law and mother-in-law Jointly poisoned
the mind OF his wife, who was 20 years
old. against the plaintiff and by various
pretences and false insinuations caused
their daughter to separate from him. He
also alleges that the defendants frandu-
lently induced him TO 80 TO work In a gold
mine at Mogollon. ". NJ. where his health
was impaired. Kleist in his affidavit say'
among other things:
"In view of the infatuation and esteem
which were mutual between US the acts OF
the defendants were cruel and heartless
The only opposition that the defendants
had to the marriage, ! am informed and
believe, Is that ! am OF poor parentast
and that for that reason ! am unht to oc'
cupy a place in the social sphere com
mensurate with the enormous wealth Of
the defendants. That Notwithstanding
that defendants knew OF the deep love anc
affection that my wife. Juliet had for m'
they set about to poison her mind asains
me and conspired to degrade me In th'
eyes OF my wife"

SIECEL AND VOCEL WIN IN
FIGHT FOR CHANGE OF VENUE
Justice Blanchard Decides Merchants Could Not
Get Fair Trial Here Case Delayed
Until Fall

Supreme Court Justice Blanchard de-
cided yesterday that Henry siesei and
Frank Il. Vosel cannot have fair trial
In New York county on the indictments
against them for grand larceny arising
out Of the failure OF the Siegel enterprises.
and granted their application for q change
of venue. The case is the frst in many
years In which an application Of the kind
has been granted.
Before the decision was handed down
District Attorney whitman had arranged
to move the indictments for trial before
Justice Davis, who Is holding the June
term OF the Criminal Branch of the Su-
preme Court because OF Justice Davis's ex-
perience in financial matters such as are
Involved In the proceedings against Siegel
and Vogel. In view of the decision Mr..
Whitman said that the trial would I'M
doubtedly DO delayed until fall and that
he will confer with John b. Stanchfield.
attorney for the defendants. In an EFFORT
to agree on some outside district TO which
the case can be sent
Justice Blanchard's Opinion.
Justice Blanchard said In his opinion:
1t seems clear that there exists In
this community among thinking men.
not only wide spread belief In tho
guilt of these defendants. but deep
rooted prejudice against them because
of the loss which has been sustained;
the character and station In life OF
those who have sustained the loss,
and because of the widely current
allegation that the defendants have
misused benevolent funds entrusted
to their care for their own beneit,
a belief which seems to lead large
numbers of thinking men to tho view
that whether these defendants are
guilty or not they should be held re-
sponslble for the disaster that has oo-
Cured. and should be punished as
warning to others in the future.
In his opinion Justice Blanchard ro-
viewed the charges against the defendants
embraced In the indictments and referred
to the enterprises conducted by the de
PENDANTS as private bankers and the de
duction of 2 per cent Of the wages OF
their employees for the benefit funds o.

widespread Comment on Case.
The opinion continues:
The inception of the proceedings
in the United States court and the
consequent closing OF the doors OF the
defendants stores and bank aroused
widespread comment among people OF
all walks In life and In the public
press both because Of the defendants

acterized by riotous behavior and
at which the defendants were de-
nounced as thieves and malefactors
and their personal character and pri-
waite life assailed, took place In this
city.
There r. no question that the de-
PENDANTS controlled these various en-
terprises: that they were the Gus
todians OF large sums committed to
their care: that these enterprises
have failed and that large sums OF
money belonging to poor depositors
and the benevolent funds have been
swept away and that many creditors
who can III afford their loss will suf-
fer. That these facts may be true
must not prevent these defendants
from obtaining that fair and Inn

titled by law. and their guilt of Grim
