Counsel Who Secured Her Di
vorce Want $1,423.
THEIR BILL WAS $7,500
Defendant's Lawyer Declares
They Did Not Work for His
Client's Best Interests.
Mrs. Arr.anda F. LaUMarbacb, who oh
tained a divorce from her huaband, Ed
ward Lauterbach, the lawyer, was in tlie
City Court yesterdsy as defendant in a
suft brought to eompel her to pay $1,423,
a remalnder whlch. it ia alleged, ia due
or. the blll for legal expenses ln the di?
vorce suit. Her attorneys ln tbal act on
were forn-.er Surrogate Raatua S Ranaoni
and Samuel H. Wandell, who assigne 1
the claim to Walter M. McWhlnney. a
court stenographer, who appears as the
actua! plaintiff in the suit.
Whlle Mr. Ransom was on the witn?sa
atand, L<slie J. Tom;.kins counsel for
Mrs. Lauterbach ln the present autt, ln
timated that the former Surrogate had
rlayed into the hands of Mr. lauterbach
in the divorce ault. Mr. Rans >m angrily
remarked: "If you will keep your rematks
until court adjourns we will settle them.''
lt developed at the trlal yesterday that
the flrst oomplalnt flled by Mrs. Lauter?
bach agalr st her husband In whkh the eo
respondent was mentloned had been with
drawn by her two lawyers and a complaint
flled whkh dld not mention the aroman
ln the ca^e Mrs. Lauterbach thought
that she should receive li'/iO") as perma
nent allmony, but her lawyers told her
that such an amount could not be ob
talned, and finally $7.M0 araa pald by Mr.
Lauterbai h in lleu of all further alimony.
Mr. Tomkins said that he had raaaoa
to belleve that the first complaint ln the
divorce suit wrfa wlthdrawn and a new
one substltuted at the request of Mr.
Lauterbach. Charles I.e Barbier, attor?
ney for McWhlnney, the plaintiff tn the
suit against Mrs. Lauterbach. said that
? t the time of the divorce suit Mrs. Lau?
terbach waa Involved in iitigation with
her daughters over an accountlng of
thelr propexty and that it was agreed
that Mra Lauterbach should not ask for
counsel fees or allmor.y. and that under
the olreumstancee Mr Ransom and Mr
Wandell had done well in getting the
$7.80o from Mr. Lauterbach.
In combating the atatement of oppos
ing counsel Mr. Le Barbier said he would
prove by expert Wltna?BB that the fees
of the two lawyers were not too high.
The blll of Mr. Wandell was $6.00o ar.d
that of tfr. Ransom $:',500, the two to
gether equalllng the amount received by
Mra. Lauterbach from her husband in
flnal settlement.
Several letters written by Mra Lairer
bach to .'udge Ransom were plared in
avtdancfl on?. of these said that Mr.
Lauterbaeh had borrowed 1146,888 from
hls wife and had retumed only 147,101.
Mr. Rarisom aald that he and hia eel

THE TRUTH No. 1
Thousands of newspaper columns, under glaring headlines, blazed with news
of a railroad wreck which was beyond any preconceived human foresight. CcJunin? ot
criticism, heartless caricature and politiciai denunciation directed against the wnole INew
England owned and New England operated railroad system followed.
You may have noticed in some papers this single and comparatively small
news paragraph exonerating the railroad and its employees from all blame:
HARTFTlRP. COBB., Per. 4? <'v:ef
Englneer Elwell of l ? PubUc Utllltlea

Into tba wreck of tha atarcbanta Lton*

cemlbla on t!.e roadbed hefore tbe
gaitcb was reached. He flnds that the
ralls. tles and awit.h faatantnga at the
P'.lnt of wreck were ln go.td condltion.

Not one New York or New England newspaper reader in a thousand saw this
paragraph of the official report which contains the truth of the whole matter:
? At a Joint inve.stlgatlon held with tha
tata ' enmerce Commlaalon ;n

tlon."
Nevertheless every Equalizer Bar has been ordered to be regularly un
covered and inspected. m- v 1 w
The main line of New England's railroad system between New York, New
Haven Providence and Boston, is still unsurpassed in solidity of construction and general
safetv bv any main line of any railroad system in the United States and is still being im
proved with-SAFETY THE FIRST CONSIDERATION.
