Overcome as Alienation
Suit Against Her Fails

The dismissal of 100000 aliena-
tion suit by Supreme Court Justice
Tierney yesterday afternoon caused
such reaction on the defendant, Mrs
Fannie Bro1nberg, wife of wealthy
dress goods manufacturer, that she
was overcome and had TO be treated
with restoratives for fifteen minutes
after court was adjourned. The suit
had been instituted by Mrs. Eva Stern
of 575 West 175th Street, whose attor-
neys had introduced many letters from,
"Fannie" to Frank" who, Mrs. Stern
said, was her husband.
Justice Tierney said the letters were
of sort that should not have been
written by Mrs. Bromberg to any one
especially married man, but he held
that it had not been proved that Mrs
Brornberg was the "pursuer," as is re-
quired in such actions. The court also
declined to accept as sufficiently cen
elusive for the purpose of an alienation
suit the evidence offered by Mrs. Stern
as to her marriage. The latter Sesti-
fed she had been married by Jersey
City justice Of the peace, but that she
had forgotten his name. The marriage
certificate was intrusted to Mrs. Stein s
mother, who testified yesterday that
she had lost it.
