Swears Mother Made Her
Wed Dead Sisters Mate
Obligation of Ancient Jewish
Custom Enforced, Says Wife,
Who Seeks AnnuImeuf

Justive Devendorf reserved decision
yesterday in the Supreme Court in an
undefended action brought by Esther
Freshman for annulment of her mar
riage to Samuel Frischman, Of ITO
Monroe Street, on the ground that she
was bullied into acquiescing in the
ceremony and never had lived with her
husband.
Freshman, she testified, was the hus-
band of her older sister, who died sew
eral months ago, leaving a daughter
two years old. Late last summer, Mrs.
Freshman went on, her mother began
to impress upon her the obligation i'm
posed by ancient Jewish custom of be-
coming the wife of her brother-in-law
in order to care for her sisters child.
She protested, she said, that she
would rather die than marry Frisch-
man, who added his opportunities to
those of her mother. There was no
relief for her at home, she added, since
her father, who sometimes had taken
her part, was oead.
Nevertheless, she refused to consent
to the marriage until November % last,
when her mother ordered her to put
on her things and conducted her to the
Municipal Building, where the mar
riage was performed under her moth
er's eye. She was i'll from the ideal,
she said, and remained in bed a week,
after which she went to the home of a
neighbor, where she still is living.

Soap Victim Wins Suit:
Banana Peel One Loses

a landlord cannot be held liable in
damages for injuries sustained by q
person slipping on banana peel on the
sidewalk, but on the other hand. if a
person slips on a cake of soap on the
stairs of house and suffers injuries.
that may constitute a cause of action
against the owner of the PROPERTY.
Both these questions were decided yes
terday by the Appellate Division in two
cases.
The appeal in the canana peel case
was filed by Victor Muller, owner of an
apartment house in East Fifty seventh
Street. Mrs. Freida Frank, obtained a
judgment for $4,000 against Mr..
Muller, because she was injured when
she slipped on the peel that someone
had thrown on Muller's sidewalk.
The Appellate Division reversed the
verdict against the landlord. holding
that he could not be held liable for
the throwing of banana peel on his
sidewalk by passerby.
The other case was suit brought
by Sarah Morrison against the Hotel
Rutledge Company. Miss Morrison
was a pastry cook at the hotel and
slipped on cake of soap on a stairway,
suffering injuries. She sued the hotel
company and in the Supreme Court her
action was dismissed. The Appellate
Division reversed this order and
granted Miss Morrison new trial. 1t
was held by the court that the negli-
gence of the scrubwoman who left the
soap on the stairs, was the negligence
of the defendant.

unremitting appeal to pay the party's
debt of honor more generously than
the New England states, New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Ohio

provided more money to be used for
wipirg oUt the debt than all of the
New England states mbined-more
even than either Pennsylvania or New

Agent of Children's
Society Is Found
Guilty of Extortion
Accepted Marked Bills From
Doll Maker to Keep His
Children From. institutions:
La Cuardia Is Witness

Harry l.. Marquct an agent of the
society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children, was found guilty of at
tempted extortion by jury before
Judge Grain in General Sessions yes
terday He was remanded to the
Tombs for sentence April 13.
Marquct accepted two marked $40
bills from Nicholas Salamoni, a doll
maker, living at 2315 Second Avenue.
after he had threatened to put the doll
makers three children in an instituz
tion. The money was paid to Marauet
in the corridor of the Children's Court
on June 9,-1921.
The case of the Salamoni children
first came to the notice of the society
when a school teacher reported to
Ernest X. Coulter, head Of the society,
that James, Salamoni's twelve -year-old
son had begged pennies from teachers
of Public School AS, declaring that he
was hungry and his father had de-
serted the family.
Marquet was assigned to investigate
the case. He reported to the society
that the boy only imagined he was
hungry and that he had good home
and his mother made $35 a week as
ressmaker.
A conversation Salamoni had with
Marquet was repeated by Salamoni to
the school teacher who first reported
the case to the Children's Society,
After being told of the conversation
she made two pin holes in the $40
bills and Salamoni made an ink smudge
on them. They were passed to Mar
quet by Salamon and found on him at
the time of his arrest.
The verdict of guilty was returned
notwithstanding the testimony of sew
eral character witnesses, including
former President of the Board of
Aldermen F. H. La Guardia and City
Court Judge Louis A. Valente and As

Jury Demands Trial
OfReily ON Charge
Of Misusing Funds
PresentmentF FollowingProbe
of Porto Rican Governors
Administration Accuses
Secretary and Auditor Also

SAN JUAN, P. R., April (By The
Associated Press).-E. Mont Reilly,
Governor of Porto Rico, Auditor Kes-
singer and Governor Reilys private
secretary. John Hull, are charged
IN grand jury presentment with mis-
use of public funds for private pur-
poses. There are four different counts
mentioned against the men.
The presentment which covers ten
typewriter pages, expresses the belief
of the grand jury that if present condi-
tions had continued and the investiga-
tion had been delayed one year the
public treasury would have suffered
considerable loss.
The District Attorney is directed by
the grand jury TO prepare indictments
and proceed against Governor Reilly
and the others on the basis of evidence
delivered to the District Attorney for
the purposes of prosecution.
The grand jury, which had been
holding an investigation into matters
concerning the administration of Gov
ernor Reilly, submitted it's report pub
licly and urged that the court act on
it. District Judge Foote at first re-
fused to receive it, saying a report
from the grand jury afforded nothing
on which the court could base any ju-
dicial action, and that the court could
not have jurisdiction on any complaint
contained in the report. He added that
once the investigation was finished it
was the duty of the grand jury to in
dict or not.
The grand jury insisted on deliver
ing the report to the court with state
mcnt that "this is the result of our in
vestlgation, and we deliver it to the
court, proceeding in accordance with
the law"
Judge Foote again refused to re-
ceive the report as a public document,
but put it aside in a sealed envelope.
The grand jury asked Judge Foote
yesterday to turn over the report to
the fiscal authorities.
From The Tribuncs Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 7.-There was
no official comment forthcoming to-
night from sources near the White
House upon the reported grand jury
charges against Governor Reilly and
his two assistants. Several officials
who have been in touch with the Porto
Rican administrations troubles pri-
vately expressed skepticism, however,
and indicated they were not inclined
to accept the report until some official
advice is received here.
Felix Cordova Davila, resident COM
missioner of Manati, P. R., upon being
told of the dispatch, expressed regret
because he is the Governor" but de-
clared that the jury's presentment
"sustains my contention that he was
dishonest"
