Tilted Woman, Though
Married, Gets Verdict
For Breach of Promise

The mere fact that a woman mar
ries, after having been spurned by
her first love. does net release the
first man in the case from his OBJ
legations to pay for injuring the feel
ings Of the one whom he intended
TO take as his wife, according to a
verdict returned, Monday afternoon,
In Judge Mandell's court. The jury
awarded $500 to Mrs. Helen Sarnow-
ski, who sued Theodore Alsjeski for
$4,000. for breach Of promise.
Mrs. Sarnowski broke down and
wept when the verdict was brought
in.
at is not the money" she cried.
"T don't care anything for that, be-
cause ] have a man now. and baby
and home. But II is good to know
that our law has told this man that
he did wrong when he would not
marry me-"
Mrs. Sarnowski declares that she
furnished Alsjeski with money to
come TO America from Hungary.
They agreed to be married on
Christmas day, but she alleges that
he broke his promise and took. an
other woman as his bride. She mar
ried, and Is the mother of two
months-old child.
Alsjeski's defense vas that the
plaintiff had no right to expect him
to marry, because she had done the
wooing. His attorney argued that
It would he improper to give dam
ages to woman lovemaker, as nc
good could be done by encouraging
members OF the fair sex to take the
initiative In affairs Of the heart. The
jury deliberated less than an hour
before bringing in its verdict.
