Leonard Kip Rhinelander, young mem
Der Of a socially prominent family who
today lost his suit for annulment of his
marriage to Alice Beatrice Jones, for
mer mulatto housemaid, now faces a
suit for separation by Mrs. Rhinelander.
Announcement that summons and COM
plants in the suit for separation have
been issued was made by Mrs. Rhine
lander's counsel, Lee Parsons Davis.
soon after the jury in the annulment
case had returned a verdict favorable
to Mrs. Rhinelander. The papers in
the separation action include request
for alimony and counsel fees, but Mr..
Davis cid not reveal the amount asked.
Immediately after announcement Of
the iury's verdict Isaac N. Mills, chief
counsel for Rhinelander, announced
that he would appeal the verdict
Although the jury was not empowered
to pass upon the granting of an annul-
ment, its findings on seven questions
propounded to it, will serve as basis
for the decision of Justice Morschauser,
who presided at the trial.
Davis had said in court during the
trial that Mrs. Rhinelander. and her hus-
band never could live together again re-
careless of the outcome Of that case.
This would be impossible he said, be-
cause of the way they besmirched each
other" during the trial. The jury in it's
decision returned today found that Mrs.
Rhinelander never had deceived her
husband as to her negro blood. Answer
ing one of the questions. the jury ex-
pressed its opinion that he would have
married her had he known she was of
negro blood.
