WOMAN HOME WRECKER.
Man Takes Breach of Promise Suit. HAVANA, October 27. The Havana Supreme Court has ordered Maria Louisa Tirado Sanchez, 28, to pay 50,000 dollars (£IO,OOO at par) as heart balm to Manuel Martinez, a leading Havana lawyer, who is aged fifty-five. For two years this amazing case has proceeded, the first ever tried in the Cuban Courts, where a man sued for a breach of promise. He alleged that “ through false and passionate loving ” she decei\*ed him until he left his own wife; but she. instead, married Jacinto Sanchez, one of Havana’s wealthiest business men. The Court decided that there was no precedent for an action for breach of promise in Spanish jurisprudence, but that Martinez should recover because, morally, no woman is entitled to wreck two homes in trading wealth for social prominence.
