DAUGHERTY
SUED FOR
LOVE

NEW YORK, May IT,
Pearle Wilma Baremore, stel-
lar figure in a thrilling cycle
of Park Avenue and Broad
way adventures during the
past five years, has sued
Draper M. Daugherty, son of
ex-Attorney General Harry M.
Daughtery, for $250,O00 breach
of promise damages.

Daughtery married Estelle Sturges,
former wife Of Preston Sturges, a
New York perfume manufacturer,
on July IL. 1928, deter her.
Miss Baremore swears that
Daugherty promised to marry her
on July Is, 1926, during the course
of a romance that brimmed with
startling Notwithstanding his

treat in the Stamford institution.
Love pilgrimages to Chicago and
I California, on which Miss Baremore
says she paid all the bills, also
figure in her complaint.
The $25O,O00 she seeks includes
$44,250 which. she asserts, was
spent by her in maintaining homes
for herself and Daugherty here in
Chicago. and in California, when he
was out of work. She swears the
Stamford escape cost her 100000.
Daugherty, she charges. promised
to repay her in September, 1927, but
failed to show up.
Lists Her Expenses
In a sworn affidavit, Miss Bare
more recites the course of their
romance and, incidentally, lists the
items of expense which Daugherty
chalked up to her.
BY freak twist of fate they
first met in the office of Fifth
Avenue jeweler on December 13,
1922. He escorted her to her apart
ment at 146 East Forty-ninth Street
and then went to his office, where
he was associated with Arnold
Rothstein in the insurance business.
The following. morning, she re-
lates, he phoned her. An hour
later he called with flowers. He
succeeded in causing her to forego
plans to sail for Europe. She
charges he pleaded with her to re-
main in this country and then
and there proclaimed his undying
love.
Pawned Her Gems
From this point on, Miss Bare
more says, she went in for expendi'
lures. She states she pawned her
jewelry to help him while out Of
work. This item is down for
81, 500.
Then followed the period when
he was committed to the Stamford,
Conn.,, sanitarium. When Draper
made his getaway to Chicago Miss
Baremore says she sold out her
household furnishings here for
$500 and went to live with him
in Chicago, footing all the bills.
A three m0lths' sojourn with him
in California, she states. cost her
$4,000. She reveals that she met
the bills again when they lived on
Park Avenue In the spring Of 1925.
A short time afterward his father
sent for him from Columbus, Ohio.
1t was after his arrival there
that he was incarcerated in the
State insane asylum at Lima, Ohio.
