Married. Col. Charles Augustus Lindbergh, world famed airman; and Anne Spencer Morrow, second daughter of Ambassador to Mexico Dwight Whitney Morrow; at Englewood, N. J. Long rumored, long talked about, the marriage took place without advance notice. First word came two hours after the wedding when a Morrow secretary telephoned Manhattan journals, giving them a brief, formal announcement. Only members of the immediate families were present.
Married. Michael Strange (real name Blanche Oelrichs), poetess, authoress, actress, divorced wife of Leonard Thomas (No. 1) of Actor John Barrymore (No. 2); and Harrison Tweed, Manhattan attorney; in London.
Sued. James Joseph ("Gene") Tunney, husband of Mary Josephine ("Polly") Lauder Tunney; by a Mrs. Katherine King Fogarty, divorced wife of a Fort Worth plumber; for breach of promise; for $500,000. Claimed Divorcee Fogarty: she met Tunney at Hot Springs, Ark., in October 1924; next year, and later still, he "promised to marry her." Claimed Fisticuffer Tunney (at Brioni, Italy): he only knew Mrs. Fogarty slightly; never intimately; never asked her to marry him. "It must be a joke," said he. Developments :
George M. Whiteside, attorney for Tunney, produced a quitclaim which, he said, was signed by Divorcee Fogarty July 24, 1928, releasing Tunney from all obligations toward her.
Attorney for Fogarty, Col. Lewis M. Field of the staff of Gov. Trumbull of Connecticut, stated that his client had no knowledge of the contents of the quitclaim when she signed it; that if she did sign it, there had been duress ("pressure").
Billy Gibson, Tunney's friend and one-time manager, said that $27,000 had been paid by Tunney for the quitclaim and to recover letters he wrote Mrs. Fogarty. News accounts raised this sum to $75,000.
John J. Fogarty, the Fort Worth plumber, was reported preparing to sue Tunney for $500,000 on his own account. Charge: alienation of affections.
