1--WE have prepared a summons
and complaint" Lee Parsons Davis,
her attorney. announced. sRhine-
lander's counsel refused to accept
service, Davis said. He admitted
the suit includes heavy financial
demands.
The jury which heard wealthy
young Rhinelander's suit to have his
marriage to the colored girl an
nulled at 10 a. m. returned a verdict
against him.
Six questions of fact submit
ted to the jury were answered
in favor OF the girl. 1t
Is upon these questions that the
court will base its final decision.
Rhinelander alleged Alice deceived
him as to her color. but the jury
saw it differently.
Jury Sees No Deceit
Final decision still rests with Su.
preme Court Justice Morschauser,
but instances where a court has
failed to follow liberal construction
of a jury's findings are exceedingly
nre.
The jury found, in effect:
That Alice was OF colored blood,
a point which was admitted.
That she did not deceive Leonard
either by silence or by premeditated
statement as to her color.
That she made no effort to induce
Leonard to marry her through con-
cealing her color.
And, that even though Leonard
had known she was of colored
blood, he would have married her.
The seventh question on the list,
that as to whether or not Leonard
had continued the marriage relation
with Alice after learning she was
Of negro descent, was not answered.
the other answers making it unnec-
cessary.
The victory for Mrs. Rhinelander
was considered complete.
Alice was in court wearing a black
hat and a fox fur coat when the
verdict was read. Her negro father,
q taxi-cab driver, her white mother
and her two sisters were with her.
Klan Enters Case
Band after a trial which through
reading OF her confidential love
letters to him she was dragged
through the gutter" as her counsel
declared to the jury, she said
II do love him-and l don't. I
loved him dearly. 1 did feel hurt
several times during the trial. but I
know we could have gone on living
happily together If it had not been
for Leon Jacobs. He was the one
who brought great unhappiness into
our lives"
Jacobs is one of young Rhineland-
er's attorneys.
HE took Leonard from me and
threatened him with the Ku-Klux
Klan when he was living here with
us. After that Leonard couldn't
sleep for four days"
