, lett, through his attorneys, will
contend that far from being an un
willing bride, the Cooke girl en-
tered into the marriage voluntarily
and even before the marriage
while she was with her father in
Pinehurst, N. c., she wrote endear
ing letters to the chauffeur.
Jane Cooke Scarlet hated
money and was willing to live
with young George Scarlet, if she
only had zone dress to her back,
the latter claims, but she now says
that he had misrepresented his
financial position to her and ex
pected to live with her parents.
Placed in Fear
The annulment suit began late
yesterday, but only the opening
statements of counsel were heard
Attorney Lewis H. Shapiro, who is
associated with Alvin L. New.
myer in the case, said that he
would show that the Cooke girl
had led such a gentle, sheltered
life. despite her 20 years, that she
had no idea of the responsibility
of marriage, and was placed in
fear by the advances of the young
chauffeur.
The involved litigation of the
Cooke sisters, Jane DeWalden and
Anne, the elder sister, who accom-
panied Jane on the runaway
honeymoon, has other angles in
the local court.
When the absence of the two
girls and Scarlett was discovered,
Mrs. Howard DeWalden Cooke,
mother of the sisters, obtained q
warrant for Scarlett'S arrest on
charges Of stealing her jewels. He
was acquitted after his return
from the honeymoon spent at his
home in WinSton-S Salem, N. C.
Shortly afterward, he brought
suit for 100000 damages in Dis
trict Supreme Court, naming his
mother-in-law as defendant and
charging her with malicious prose
cution for causing his arrest in
Maryland.
A nearly tragic episode Of the
honeymoon is revealed in another
suit on file in the local court in
which Jane is plaintiff.
In that suit it is disclosed that
as the young couple were return
ing to Washington, accompanied
by Sister Anne and two valuable
dogs of the Cooke kennels, the
automobile was struck by
freight train at a crossing. The
occupants of the car were slightly
injured, the car was demolished,
and the dogs, badly frightened,
ran away and never were seen
again.
