Author Loses Fortune and
Ability in Plagiarism Suit

The most damaging plagiarism
suit brought in this country was
that against Richard Walton Tully
in 1912 by a woman who claimed
his play, The Bird of Paradise,
had been stolen from one she had
written. Not having any play to
show the court, she disappeared
until 1924 when she returned, re-
opened the case, produced
manuscript and was awarded
$781 1890. In 1880, the decision was
reversed by the N. Y. state court
of appeals which. found no resem-
blance between the two plays. The
battle to clear his name cost Tully
his fortune and left him unable to
write during the remaining Is
years of his life.
