Daisy and Violet Hilton Skinner, known as the Texas Siamese twins, filed a civil suit in district court seeking freedom from bondage. They seek an injunction against Myer Rothbaum and Emily Rothbaum and request a receiver to account for earnings from world exhibitions.

They say they learned their true mother two years ago and faced deportation to England and possible asylum confinement if they revealed status or attempted escape. They own an expensive home near San Antonio.
