Inside Story of Famous
Case Shown by Her Suit
Against Lawyer.
TOBACCO MAGNATE
FAILED TO PAY UP
She Charges Counsel Kept Too
Much Of Settlement Made
Out of Court.

Another mystery" suit. one OF those
that every now and then arc revealed
through some collateral proceeding. was
turned UP yesterday IN the Supreme
Court through n decision rendered by
Justice Lehman. The immediate pro-
cccding was brought by Mrs. Louise NJ.
Bail. Of 100 Cathedral Parkway, against
Wales +. Severance. once her lawyer
and former associate OF Bourke Cock
ran.
Tracing back the ground for the &C
ton, IL is revealed that Mrs. Bail fs the
sister Of Mrs. Lillian \. Duke, from
whom James h. Duke, one Of the organ
izers OF the American Tobacco Com
panv. obtained divorce in 1905. Mrs.
Bail sued Duke in March. 1913. 10 re-
cover 100000. This suit was based on
an alleged agreement, according to
which the former sister-in-law OF the
tobacco magnate was 10 procure Ger
tain valuable information and evidence
for Duke. and Duke was 10 support Mrs.
Bail for the rest Of her life.
How we'll Mrs. Bail performed her
part Is shown by the Duke divorce, fot.
as il now develops, the evidence she
obtained was 70 he used against her
own sister. Mrs. Duke, al the trial. But
Duke did not keep his part of the al
legged agreement, and his sister-in-law
brought suit and drove him TO settle
ment for s. 800. The amount originally
agreed on does not appear IN the bail
Severance case. but i was probably llb-
eral. for in suing Duke Mrs. Bail fixed
the amount claimed according 10 the IN
srrance system Of expectancy OF lite.
This amount was 100000.
Bitterness Betp cen Sisters.
Mrs. Bail. who is living with another
sister, Mrs. Emma G.. Come. IS the
widow Of Bernard II. Bail. second vice
president and general freight traffic
manager OF the Philadelphia & Read
ING Railway Company. Bail died IN
1912. and it was thirteen months later
that Mrs. Bail engaged Severance to
sue Duke.
There was great bitterness between
the first Mrs. Duke and her sister The
latter was arrested at one time on the
COMPLAINT of Mrs. Duke. Dc Lancey
NicoU. counsel for the American To-
bacco Company and other Duke inter
ests. hurried to the magistrates court
on her behalf.
The Duke divorce suit attracted wide
attention. The husband named as CO.

Settled Out of Court.
Mr.. Duke finally settled out OF court,
for $500 on April Q. 1914. Mrs Bail
received less than half of this. when
caused her 20 begin the proceeding
against Severance. She asked an order
directing the lawyer 10 show cause why
he should not be compelled 10 pay over
TO her the money he retained. Justlce
Lehman denied the motion yesterday
holding that she had agreed TO the pay
ment Of 20 per cent OF tho settlement
and that she knew what she was DONG
when the agreement was made.
Mrs. Bail objected particularly 10 the
payment of SS25 TO man who, II was
alleged. Severance referred 10 ne his
Jew friend" who, he said. was an ad-
ditional counsel in the case. Mrs. Bail
made an unsuccessful effort 20 learn
the identity Of this additional counsel,
whose receipt she wanted for the
money paid him. Apologizing in her
statement to the court for the use OF
the term Jew friend" which she at
tributed to her lawyer, Mrs Bail sub
mitted p letter to Severance. in which
she said. 81 would like 10 know who
your Jew friend is and what service
he has rendered TO demand the pound
of flesh and the 5000 ducats."
Mrs. Bail said that while settlement
was pending Severance came TO her
with an affidavit for her TO sign, in
which she was TO say that there was no
Justification in her suit against Duke
and that she knew il when she brought
the action. She refused TO sign the
affidavit. She said that when she re
tanned Severance she was without funds
and acceded 20 his terms Of 80 per cent,
but she later believed that this was
excessive and exorbitant.'
Severance says Mrs. Bail agreed TO
the payment of 1925 TO extra counsel
and told him that Duke would probably
fight the case 70 the end. which might
necessitate the outlay Of considerable
money. which she did not have. Sew
erance said that he did not deduct his
fee or that OF the additional counsel
but that he gave Mrs. Bail all the
money received. from which she volun-
tarly gave him $4,307.50. From this
he says. he paid his unnamed Jew
friend"

900.
the federal court has ruled that the
receiver may pay of IN full claims
against the company for construction
with interest, which may amount 10 AZ
per cent. while the accident claims
would have TO be settled at % cents on

court. Will also hear argument tO-mor-
row as TO the best way to proceed for
