GRY
Brings Suit to Recover Pres
ents to Former Fiancee.
PART RETURNED; APPEASED
Cliarlotte Marian Ilarlinan Alexan
der, Who Was to Marry K. O.
Fried richsen, Changed Mind,
hut Did Not Itetnru Gifts.
Because she had jilted him and mar
ried another, Mrs. Charlotte Marian
Hartman Alexander, a pretty nurse and
a bride of four weeks, was made the
defendant in a suit in a Justice Court
yesterday by E. G. Friedrichsen. a bank
teller of Tacoma. Ttie capiLalist, her
-A ?
lrx. CharloHe Mnrlnn Hartr
Alexander.
former suitor, sought to recover pres
ents he had made her before her love
grew cold and she turned from him.
Friedrichsen 1s receiving teller of the
Scandanavian-American Bank at Tacoma.
He returned to the Sound city last night.
However, the case will not be tried,
for the bride consented to return a
portion of the piesents. and the anger
of the rejected lover has been appeased.
The exchange was effected yesterday
afternoon. It is said to have been
largely through the efforts of Constable
Wagner that an amicable settlement was
reached and the recital of an interesting
love story In the courts was averted.
The Tacoma man was apparently suf
ficiently reconciled to the settlement and
situation and he consented to dine last
nlsht with the bride and the successful
suitor at their home on Third street.
However, he failed to keep his appoint
ment, explaining at the last moment that
he was detained, but would dine with
them this evening.
Mr. Friedrli hsen placed a value. of $250
on the presents he gave his intended
bride, and when he learned that she had
married another he promptly" sought
their rerovery or their cash equivalent.
He made the trip to Portland to bring
the suit, and through his attorney. J. A.
Strowbridge. Instituted proceedings yes
terday. He alleged in his complaint that he
gave the presents to her October 14. but
that in reality they remained his prop
erty. He enumerated the various arti
cles and their values. One set of prime
mink furs, he said, cost him $140; a
n:iir of smoked pearl opera glasses were
worth $9, he said; a set of mink, furs J
boa and muffler, it Is alleged are worth
$.(; and it Is further alleged that the
sum of tM in gold coin was advanced.
But the most provoking expense, per
haps, was that of $2 which the capitalist
is said to- have forwarded the pretty
nurse with which to purchase neckties
for- him. No tics were forthcoming, he
says, but Instead she kept the money.
From tlie stories told by both parties
to their lawyers, there is a most un
nmial romance connected with the case.
Friedrichsen, snid to be a man of means
and cashier of a bank, met Mrs. Alex
ander, then Miss Hartman, early In the
Summer, and proposed. He says he was
accepted and that they were to be mar
ried shortly; but she points out that it
Is a. woman's prerogative to change her
mind.
And she changed her mind at Newport
recently, when she met James Alexander,
employe of a local timber concern, who
was sojourning there nt the time. After
a whirlwind campaign of three weeks.
Alexander won out. and they were duly
married four weeks ago.
It Is alleged that Friedrichsen did not
take his jilting kindly. Mrs. Alexander
says he called her up continually on the
long-dtstance telephone and annoyed her
considerably. He demanded the return
of his presents forthwith. Mrs. Alexan
der was loth to part with fueh fine furs.
"They were given to me why should
I part with them?" phe said.
Friedrichsen communicated with Attor
ney Strowbridge and told him his griev
ances. He said the young woman prom
ised to- be bus wife and that it was in
the full belief that they were to be
wedded that he bought the expensive
presents.
"My wife gave "hack some of the pres
ents, though, and cverytlrng has been
settled," said Mr. Alexander last night.
"As a matter of fact, there's nothing to
It except that wc are. married. We feel
very kindly towards Mr. Friedrichsen
and I am sure he feels that way towards
us. We Invited him to dinner tonight,
but he couldn't come, and will come to
morrow evening."
Prior to her wedding Mrs. Alexander
was Miss Hartman. and was a well
known nurse of Portland. She came
here from Nehalem and received her
training as a nurse at Hoquiam, Wash.
