LAWSUIT DROPPED

Mrs. Walter McAllister Of 6 South
Broome street, who formerly lived
at 1900 West Fifth street. today de-
MED that she had requested her
attorney to withdraw an action for
damages against the Wilmington
Ice Company. Mrs. McAllister today
said that she felt compelled to move
from the West Fifth street house
three weeks ago because of the vi
bration of the engine at the plant
shaking her home and preventing
her and her family from sleeping at
nights.
Mrs. McAlllster said that prior TO
moving she had refused to pay the
city taxes on the house as well as
her interest money, on the ground
that the property was made unsafe
by the vibrations. As result the
property was resold by the former
owner TO a local real estate broker
who In turn sold Il to someone else.
Mrs. McAllister today said she had
invested $1,000 in the house and so
far she has not received one cent
of this money although the case has
been in the hands OF an attorney
for sometime.

mother Of three children. was
awarded S42.5OO damages against
Margaret Pierce. 2O-year-old Cas-
tile heiress. for the alienation of her
husbands affections by a Wyoming
county jury last night.
The accusing voice of the mother
triumphed over the defense that the
woman in the case" was an un-
sophisticated country girl.
Two far different pictures of the
defendant We're painted by oppos-
ing attorneys as they summed up
the case. One picture showed a de-
ceitful woman. The second picture
showed the defendant as an inno-
cent and unsophisticated country
girl, who was led on step by step
by the superior experience of a man
three times her age.
The jury believed the first pic
tufe and awarded damages to the
wronged wife.
Ridiculing the assertion that she
was a helpless child dominated by
a sensual man, Attorney Hamilton
Ward, for the prosecution, charged
her with deliberately using all the
devices known to woman TO lure
Howard from his wife.
