SUIT OF WOMAN
WRITER DISMISSED
81 ,250, 900 Claim Against Eugene
0'Neill Preposterous, Declares
Federal Judge.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April %. - Federal
Judge Woolsey today dismissed the
$l,250,0 suit of Miss Georges Lewys
against Eugene O'Neill, in which she
charged he stole the plot OF Strange
Interlude" from her novel, The Temple
of PallaSathenae"
The judge said he was convinced she
had made a wholly preposterous
claim"
THE impression made on me through
out the examination of the plaintiff, -
he wrote, twas that she had become
so obsessed with the idea that Mr.
O'Neill had dramatized part of her
book that. when challenged, she would
seek by every possible means to bolster
up her case-even to the extent of at
tempting recklessly to deny the au-
thorship of letters or papers which she
had obviously written"
Judge Woolsey allowed the usual
costs against Miss Lewys and directed
an allowance of $500 to O'Neill for
counsel fees He also directed that
$4,000 be divided between Boni &
Liveright and Horace Liveright, Inc,
and the Theater Guild, Inc. co-defend-
ants.
At the trial, which took place in
March, ONeills attorney said the play
wright had never heard of Miss Lewys'
novel.

CHURCH UNION PROSPECT
SEEN BY PRESBYTERIANS
Five Branches of Faith Would Be
Allied With Methodists, Ma
tional Officer Says.
~ the AssocIated Press.

By the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-An op-
timiStic outlook for church unity
among five branches of the Presby-
terian Church and hope for eventual
union with the Methodist Episcopal
Church was expressed Monday by
Rev. DR.. Lewis S. Nudge, stated clerk
OF the General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church, U. S. A.
Speaking at meeting of the Phila-
delphia Ministerial Association, DR..
Nudge said:
"A tentative constitution has been
drawn up for an organization COM
posed of the five branches OF the
Presbyterian Church in this country.
1t will be presented TO the General
Assembly Of the Presbyterian Church,
u. S. A, at its meeting in Pittsburgh
May %. 1t also may be introduced at
the meetings of the General Assembly
of the other divisions-the United
Presbyterian Church, the Reformed
Church in America, the Presbyterian
Church Of the U. S. and the Re-
formed Church In the U. S."
DR.. Nudge said theologians had
agreed there was no real differ
ence" between the creeds of the Meth
odist Episcopal and the Presbyterian
Churches. The proposed combination
may still be far off, but we are certain
some agreement is possible" he added

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
HITS GRAFT CHARGES
Thomas C. T. Grain in New York
Probe Denies Magistrates
Courts Wrongfully Conducted.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 22.-District At
torney ThoS1as C. T. Grain, facing re-
moval on charges of inefhciency and
negligence, took the stand yesterday to
deny that the Magistrates Courts are
shot through with graft.
Appearing before Commissioner Sam
uel Seabury Mr.. Grain said he did not
believe there are direct links" between
the underworld and the courts. that
bribes or influence dictated decisions
or that the corridors of Magistrates
Courts are infested with those whose
only business is TO interfere with
Justice"
When he made his investigation into
the Magistrates Courts about a year
ago, Mr. Grain said, he sought only
to improve conditions, not to punish
criminals. This explanation was made
whens his attention was called TO the
fact that he had apparently neglected
to press for an indictment in a
racketeering case.
Evidence was introduced to show that
a labor racketeer against whom COM
plant had been made to Mr.. Grain,
deposited $1,000 in five years. Mr.
Grain said he regarded the complaint
as Squabble within the union, mat
ter which he could not enter with
propriety.
