STRANGE COURT CASE
SDN'S CLAIM FOR DAMAGES ACTION AGAINST FAMILY INTERLOPER Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright WHITE PLAINS (New York), November 15. (Received November 16, at 1.30 p.m.) The principle that it is the child that suffers most when marital dissension splits the family was invoked to-day by James Morrow, aged twenty-one, in an unprecedented suit for 50,000d0l damages against a man who he alleges persuaded. his mother to leave his father four years ago. Morrow declared that Frederick Yannantuono, a wealthy undertaker, had alienated the affections of his mother from his father. Morrow’s counsel declared that Morrow “had been deprived of his rightful motherly love, proper education, and proper home life, and that an infant has a legal right to the enjoyment of the natural love, affection, esteem, and regard of both parents together.” The court reserved its decision on the defence motion that there was no cause for the action.
