Tulip Hill Is
oBeOpened

Mrs. Henry H. Father, of Wash
ington, is opening 200-year-old
Tulip Hill, her summer home, for
three days during the Maryland
Garden Pilgrimage which begins
today and continues through
May 8.
Tulip Hill, which was built by
Sam Galloway in 1745 for his
bride, Quakeress Anne Chew, may
be seen May 2, and 4. 1t is esti-
mated that at least half million
bricks went into the construction
Of this house.
There is scarcely a detail that
is not worth study-even the
scars resembling hoof prints on
the treads of the stairway, said
to be one of the finest colonial
Staircases in the country. Legend
says young Sam Galloway, son of
the house, returning from a party
late one night, rode his horse up
the stairs to tell his mother good
night.
Another Legend
There is less verification Of this
than of the legend that a secret
passage once led from the cellar
of Tulip Hill to the West River,
where slaves were Smuggled in and
out. Supporters of this cite an ad-
vertisement published by Sam Gal
loway in 1853 which offered for
sale parcel of healthy indented
servants just imported from Lon
don on the brigantine Grove"
Three other places in Anne
Arundel County, in addition to a
number of historic homes in
Annapolis, will be open May 3 and
4 for the Pilgrimage. These in
clude Brooksby's Tavern, built in
1850; Belvoir Manor, an ancient
and interesting house dating from
1870, and Rising Sun Tavern, with
its lockwood hedge Of enormous
size.

where we went to the clerk. who told
us he wasn't marrying any babies to
men that day. Then the second boy
said he was my brother and we were
orphans and it was all right for me to
get married.
The clerk said: All right, but If !
find out you're lying you'll all be
charged with rape"
Justice Gothic asked: Did you ever
live with him?"
About two weeks"
did you ever see him since?"
Never"
Questioned by Judge.
Then that is why you consider the
ceremony not a marriage and that
is why you testified last Friday that
you were never married."
We'll. went to see a New York
attorney" said Peggy, land he wrote
to Salem and was told there we're nc
records of such a marriage. Then
went to see a lawyer in Roanoke and
he told me there was no legal mar
riage, so I never considered myself
married"
1t was at this point that Justice
Cotillo read the Virginia law digest
and asked that counsel make a move
to drop the trial.
Rubinof and his three brothers left
the court room, smiling at the abrupt
ending.
After both parties had left the court
Justice Cotillo explained the tech
nicality" on which he had acted by
pointing out that the law in breach
of promise suits Is that a married
woman cannot bring such an action.
"The moment marriage is proved a
plaintiff is barred from evidence to
show that she had contracted for
another marriage" he said.
Justice Cotillo explained that the
marriage record in Virginia and Miss
Garcia's testimony this morning, had
established she could not continue her
suit. The court, he said. could not
go into the collateral" matter whether
the marriage was legal or not.
Assistant District Attorney Eugene
Ffnnegan, spectator at the trial
today, announced that when he reads
the minutes, he would ask Miss Garcia
and others concerned to appear before
him for examination.
Il consider" he said. that Miss
Garcia has cleared herself Of perjury
but I want to find out II there was
any extortion attempt. I want to
know whose idea 1t was to start and
prosecute this suit

parties separated, is still only void
able marriage and is binding and con-
elusive upon both parties unless set
aside by court of competent jurisdic-
ton in an action where both parties
to the contract are parties"
The discontinuance took place over
the objections of Abraham Halprin,
Rubinoff's attorney. who said that
serious charges" had been made
against his radio violinist client by
the Garcia girl and he wanted an op-
portunity to prove they were not true.
Explains Dismissal.
In diSmissing the jury which had
listened to testimony for the last 10
days, the justice said that he thought
he did the best thing lin the interest
Of justice" and that plenty of dirty
testimony would have been brought
out and the trial would have dragged
on for two or three weeks"
Cornelius H. Taylor, 67-year-old
w. P. A. employe. Peggy's father,
testified that he could not exactly
remember to a day" when his daugh-
ter, the eighth and last Of his chill
dren by his first wife, was born. AS
near as he could recollect. after seeing
the record in the books Of DR.. M.
P. Rucker of Bedford, Va, the OBJ
stetrician at Peggy's birth, the father
said he thought Peggy was born in
Bedford City on January 6, 1915,
which would have made her II years
and 2 months old at the time of her
alleged first marriage.
Defense counsel had contended that
Peggy was married when she charged
Rubinoff promised to marry her.
Reads From Minutes.
Justice Cotillo read from the min
utes of last Friday when Peggy in
sisted time after time that she had
never been married nor lever stood
before a minister or priest and en-
gagged in . marriage ceremony"
do you remember saying you never
married any one except your present
husband La Rocca?" asked Justice
Cotillo.
II was justified in saying it was
not a marriage" the young woman
answered.
How old were you at the time?"
Il was 1112."
Eleven and two months" Sander
broke in.
"All right, all right. make it II and
2 months" said Justice Cotillo, I'VE
will marry them in incubators next" !"
Peggy Tells Her Story.
Peggy then told her own story of the
marriage to Quinn. II was II when I
ran away from home and it caused my
father to become very bitter toward
me and he threatened to place me In
a reform school, and when thought
he called the authorities ran in town,

Duggan agreed that Gunderman had
injured Monaghan. He told the jury:
There isn't any question,
from what the doctors say, that
Frank Monaghan's death resulted from
external violence. Furthermore, there
is no doubt that violence was in
