The jury hearing the suit brought
by Leonard Kip Rhinelander for an
nuiment of his marriage to his negro
Wire handed a sealed verdict to the
court clerk at 11.30 tonight and then
went home. The verdict will be OPEN
ed by Judge Morschauser at 10
,, o'clock tomorrow morning.
The case was given to the jury at
lit o'clock today, after it had run
through three weeks of taking of
sensational testimony, nearly four
days of summation by opposing
counsel, and the courts charge
which lasted an hour and a quarter.
Several hours after the Try had re-
tired to deliberate the courtroom
still was crowded with spectators
who anticipated an early verdict.
Soon after the case went to the jury.
Rhinelander retired to an ante room
on an upper floor. Mrs. Rhinelander
who before the marriage was Alice
Beatrice Jones, house maid, and
dauf hter of a negro taxi driver. re-
tired TO another ante chamber.
Only once was the silence from the
jury room broken. That was short
~ before four o'clock when the
veniremen filed into the jury box
to have read to them the testimony
of Rhinelander relative to an inter-
view he had granted, soon after his
marriage, to Mrs. Barbara Reynolds,
a New Rochelle newspaper woman.
When, after ten minutes search,
Justice Morschauser was unable to
locate the testimony required. the
jury returned to the jury room. ~
In his charge to the white jury.
Justice Morschauser particularly
warned that prejudices and sympa-
thies should have no part IN their
considerations. He emphasized that
IL the marriage took place as re-
suit of Mrs. Rhinelander's misrepre-
sensations that she was white, or IL
the latter would not have taken
place had Rhinelar nown that
she was of negro blood: il b. direct
statement or concealment through
silence. Mrs. RhinelaLder caused
Rhinelander to believe she was not
of negro blood, then era'-4 mad been
nerpetrated sufficient to -relleve
Rhinelander of theNmarriage ties.
n. on the other hand, the justice
charged. Rhinelander continued TO
cohabit with his wife after he mad
learned that she was or colorea
blood he could not claim fraud:
Neither. said the justice. couio
Rhinelander claim fraud, If before
marriage there had been sufflcient
nroof about him to convince a per
son of ordinary intelligence that ms
wife had negro blood.
