Never Saw Girl Osborne Swears in Court
In New York on March 24 a mass of conflicting testimony surfaced before U S Commissioner Houghton as Rae Tanzer, suing former assistant district attorney James W Osborne for alleged breach of promise, was arraigned for a hearing to decide on grand jury action. Sisters Rosa and Ruth Tanger, hotel clerk J F Safford, and others testified, detailing Osborne signed as Oliver Osborne, diamonds given and later taken for repairs, and Rae’s belief he would marry her. Osborne denied ever meeting Rae or her sisters, stated he never knew the woman, and claimed prior contact only by telephone. Hotel Kensington staff corroborated a different Osbornes signature, while evidence suggested a man named G Osborne did not fit the supposed identity. The hearing continues as commissioners weigh the case.
