7 Questions For Jqry,
WHITK PLAINS. N. Y., Dec. 4
The suit for annulment of mar
riage brought by the wealthy young
Leonard Kip Rhinelander against
his part negress wife, Alice Bea
trice Jones, went to the Jury short
ly before noon today.
Out of the mass of testimony,
much of It conflicting, taken during
the three weeks of trial, the jury
men were charged by Justice Mor
schauser to find answers to seven
ouestlons propounded to It. On
the jurv findings on these ques
tions will be based the justice's de
cision whether or not annulment
shall be granted. If granted his de
rision will act merely as an Inter
locutory decree, to be finally re
viewed and passed noon by the
next regular special term of West
Chester county supreme court.
Opposing counsel both expressed
confidence a to the outcome.
Color Blind Or Ignorant?
The Jnry's decision on . the
seventh point upon which It must
pass Is of the greatest Importance
to the outcome of the case. This
point Is:
"Did the plaintiff cohabit with
the defendant after he had obtain
ed full knowledge that the defend
ant was of colored blood?" If the
bur makes the case favorable to
Rhinelander on the first six points,
but answers "yes" to the seventh
question, the whole case will be
Upset.
The other six questions were:
"At the time of the marriage of
the parties was the defendant col
ored and of colored blood"
"Did the defendant before the
marriage bv silence conceal from
the plaintiff the fact that she was
of colored blood?"
'Did the defendant before the
marriage represent to the plaintiff
that she was not of colored blood ?"
"Did the defendant practice said
concealment or make said repre
sentation with the Intent therebr
to Induce the plaintiff to marry
her?"
"Was the plaintiff by said con
cealment or by said representation
or by both Induced to marry the
defendant?"
"If the plaintiff had known that
defendant was of colored blood,
would hehave married her?"
