young gardener chauffeur, who swore
he was taught how to hold hands,
kiss, drink. and smoke cigarets by
Juliet Breitung, 10 year old debutante
resumed the stand today in the trial
Of his $250,000 suit for alienation Of
affections against Edward n. Brei-
tung, his millionaire father-in-law.
Attorneys for Kleist rested their
case early this afternoon without
calling Miss Breitung to the stand.
Kleist said Miss Breitung had held
his hand before he ever attempted to
hold hers. This rendered him
"speechless," he said.
Keist also said Miss Breitung was
the first to ask for kiss, which he
imprinted on her cheek and then she
proposed that he marry her. And
then he said he never drank or smok-
ed clgarets until she taught hinf.
This evidence was brought out in
the cross examination conducted by
Delaney Nicoll.
Love Letters Read
Many of Mrs. Kleist's romantic
love letters we're introduced In the
direct examination. In these Kieist
usually was called dearest" or dear
est Max"
Some begged him to come to New
York, and one told of having found
a trysting place at which they might
meet in New York. Another assert
ed she had decided to marry Kleist.
Keist, Michigan farmer boy, who
afterward became gardener and
chauffeur, apparently took delight in
telling of his romance and his utter
ances at times, provoked laughter.
Judge Hand himself conceallng his
mirth with his handkerchief.
Miss Juliet Breitung's wedding
present from her mother was a beau
tiful black eye, Miss Ada GaTner,
former maid Of the Breitungs, testi-
fed.
Mrs. Breitung was awfully mad
when Miss Juliet told her she had
married Max" said the maid. ION
Sunday in the st Regis hotel here
they had fight"
Tore Their shirtWaists
How did 1t result?" queried
Kleist's attorney.
Mrs. Breitung had on torn shirt
waist, Miss Juliet had one torn short
waist, and Miss Juliet had one black
eye," said the maid with precision
Miss Juliet had me introduce Max
to her at Marquette, Mich" contin-
ued the maid. "She told me she lik.
ed his looks and she ran out on the
lawn one morning when l was talking
to Max. After that / used to carry
notes she wrote to Max.
Thought Max a Nice Boy
"She said he was a nice boy-that
she loved him-that he was just the
kind Of a boy she wanted to mar
ry. She said she never would mar
ry a man her mother would choose.
Mrs. Breitung told Miss Juliet she
would never let her live with man
who took care of cows" said the
maid. She said she ought to have
made better match.
1t was after the secret marriage In
New York, November. 1913. which
raised such commotion in Breitung's
exclusive social set in New York and
Chicago that Juliet wrote to the hero
Of the rose arbors and tulip beds:
THE only thing I'm sorry about is
that I ever let You get away. I'll al
ways love you"
But alack! Love reckoned without
the Breitung millions and the rBei-
tung social position or the rBeitung
social ambition.
Juliet Taken Home
The humble Romeo of the garden
simple, unpublished and very poor
and the romantic feminist who
thought social snobbery we'll lost for
love, found society and wealth insur-
obstacles to frank and
honest love. Juliet was taken home
and scolded, Max was banished to
New Mexico.
Only he refused to stay banished
He returned to New York and, fail
ing to regain his wife. began the
suit against her parents.
