HELD UP BY CASH
Man Who Filed First Mar
rage Offer Wouldn't
Deposit 1000.

1t was not lack OF mutual affection
that prevented Jacob Henkel and Miss
Anna Kuhnel from marrying during
their eight years Of uninterrupted
courtship. 1t was little difference Of
opinion over money matters.
After Miss Kuhnel had sued Mr.. Hen
kel for breach of promise, demanding
$4,000, and after NJ. Henkel had re
piled through the courts stating, ne
would marry Miss Kuhnel next Mon
day if she would have him, the whole
puzzle OF deferred matrimony was ex-
planned yesterday by Henkels attorney

"Mr. Henkel loves Miss Kuhnel, he
said. Gle has proposed TO her nun
dreds Of times in the last eight years.
She has accepted him as often on con-
dition that he deposit $1,000 to her
credit in her bank. This my client has
refused 20 do. Once she told him she
would marry him if he gave her $1,000
and would sue him for divorce and all
mony the next day"
However, il now looks as II Miss
Kuhnel will marry Mr.. Henkel uncon-
ditionally. She notified her counsel
Charles A. OberwaCer, yesterday that
he would accept the proposal fled IN
the Supreme Court by Mr.. HenkeL
Mr.. Henkel is fifty years old and
well-to-do. He is head Of department
in a publishing house Miss kuhnel IS
forty-two and also has property OF
considerable value. They met eight
years ago and both admit falling in
love at first sight.
Miss Kuhnel became housekeeper for
Mr.. Henkel, who was q widower and
had one son. She served in that ca
pacity till a week ago yesterday, when
she left to consult an attorney. Her
suit was fled early this week. On
Thursday Henkel filed an answer in the
Supreme Court saying he loved Miss
Kuhnel and would meet her at 10
o'clock on October in the Marriage
License Bureau and get a license and
then marry Miss Kuhnel IN he City
