BROOKLYN STANDARD UNION MAY 27, 1928
72, SUED BY WIFE, ALSO 72, FACES LOSS OF SMOKES, TOO
What is Frank A. RADER, 72 year old retired engineer, of 9301 121 st,
Richmond Hill, to do for his "occasional smokes" now that Supreme Court
Justice DRUHAN has ordered him to pay alimony and counsel fee, pending trial
of his suit against his wife, Mrs. Mary REDER, also 72, to annul their
marriage?
Yesterdaay Justice DRUHAN directed REDER to pay $10 a week alimony and
$150 counsel fee, pending trial and judicial decision on his tangled domestic
affairs. In opposing his wife's applcaton, REDER stated that after he pays
necessary expences all he will be left is &6.59 a week, for ?
The couple were married March 14 last in Jacksonville Fla. In his suit
REDER alleged fraud and said his wife had refused to "love , honor and
respect" him, as she would not be a wife and companion to him or make a home
for him.
Only a week after they were married, REDER asserted, his wife pointed
to her marriage certificate scornfully and said she had married him only to
keep him from marrrying her daughter, Mrs. Jennie KOCH, 52 years old.
Mrs. REDER denied this and alleged that before they were married REDER
wrote her a letter saying that Jennie had sent him her picture and also a
letter advising him to look at the picture "when he felt lonesome." In his le
tter to her, Mrs. REDER said, REDER declared that Jennie was the last woman
in the world he would marry.
Disputes arose almost immediately after their marriage. Mrs. REDER
said because REDER insisted and she refused to transfer to him half of her
property worth $15,000. After their return to N.Y., Mrs. REDER asserted, her
husband refused to live with her, and refused to allow her to make her home
with him. REDER denied her allegations.
