here today. "
- Judge Scores' Indecenoy
Superior Judge L, II. Valentine,
who yesterday described the testi
mony regarding the White-Luther re
lations on a trans-continental trip as
the "most dissolute violation of de
cency that has ever come to my at
tention," today, dismissed' the action
on the ground that the verbal con
tract between the two, under which
Ann Luther was to have been starred
in four films, "falls within the statute
of fraud." He declared that under the
terms of the agreement, it would have
required more than one year to ex
ecute. Further in his decision, Judge Val
entine said:
"WrongS Dona By Both'
"This court will not become a party
to the wrongs done by both princi
pals in this case. This is a place for
the administration of law and jus
tice, and not a place for the flagrant
violation of law1 s
When the decision was announced
the actress broke into tears, while at
