Of Mrs. Julio De Gabriel Forzano y
Jorrin, formerly Miss Virginia Lee

a suit for $500 900 for alienation
against Warren McConihe, wealthy

In the complaint, Jorrin alleges
that he and his wife lived happily
from their marriage in Newport In
year, the complaint says, McConfhe
came upon the scene and subSe-
quently caused the estrangeInent.
McConihe, in a long statement,
characterized the suit as a retalia-
ton for one in which he obtained
$4,000 judgment from the Jor.
rims in 1921. The money, he al
leges, was borrowed from him to
meet q mortgage on a sugar plantA-
