(AP)-Before a jury of married
men, none of whom has children,

Jones Rhinelander, for annulment of
their marriage on the ground that
she failed before their marriage to
inform him of her alleged negro
blood. opened today before Judge

at each other as the trial opened.

court room only after the jurymen
had been selected. Mrs. Rhine
lander. daughter of New Rochelle
taxicab driver, sat between her par
ents smiling as she fingered a bright
satin scarf which hung from her
neck.
Summing up the plaintiffs case,
former Supreme Court Justice Mills,
of counsel for Rhinelander, began
by saying that in view of the birth
records of Mrs. Rhinelander's par
entsge, there is no doubt that our
allegation that she is of colored
blood is true, and 1 challenge any
proof of the contrary"
He asserted that Young Rhine
lander is suffering and has suffered
from a physical infirmity which af-
fects his speech and mind.
Because of this speech difficulty,
Mr.. Mills continued, women of Mr..
Rhinelander's "own kind" never
smiled upon him. Counsel for
Rhinelander said he would show
that prior to their marriage in Octo-
Der. 1924, the two registered as man
and wife in a New York hotel on
different occasions. living together
there at one time for five days and
at another for q week.
Young Rhinelander did not object
to giving up his high social position
in marrying Miss Jones. Mr.. Mills
asserted, but he could not forgive
the fact that she was of negro blood.
The trial will be continued.
