SUIT DISMISSED
Judge Holds Kleist Failed to Prove
Any Improper Act on Part of
ParcntS-in- Law.

New York, April 27.-The 100000
damage suit brought against Edward
N. Breitung, capitalist, of Marquette
Mich, and his wife by Max Frederick
I<leist, their son-in-law was dismissed
yesterday by Federal Judge Hough.
Kleist charged his parents-in-law with
alternating his wife's affections.
The suit was dismissed after the
evidence was all In. In Diminishing il.
Judge Hough read n long opinion in
which he said the parents were in no
way obliged to accept the conduct OF
a. son-in-law. The court ruled that
Kleist had failed to prove any i'm
proper act on the part of the de-
PENDANTS in their treatment of their
child. Kleist's attorney announced
that he would appeal. Kleist and
Miss Breitung were married in No
vember, 1913. Prior to that Klcist
had been a coachman employed by
neighbor of Mr.. Breitung in Mar
quette, Mich.
This case presents an opportunity"
said Judge Hough in his opinion dis
missing the case, Ito put in practice
a theory of law which will minimize
tho sordid demands for litigation of
this kind. Parents are not respon-
siblc for lack of affection, nor are
they responsible for an abundance of
affection for them which might out
weigh the affection the child might
have fer the spouse.
mo parent is bound, in fear of
suit, to approve his child's marriage,
or to close his house to his own child
or admit to that house the consort,
male or female. chosen by his child.
1t Is my opinion that the parents In
this situation are not subject to
criticism by either judge or jury. I
fail to see any act done by the de-
PENDANTS injurious to the plaintiff or
actuated by any other motives than
proper regard for their daughter"
