Miss Smith says the vow claims are mere frolic in breach case
In Stamford, Connecticut, Helen Woodruff Smith defends herself against Russell Griswold in a $50,000 breach of promise suit. Griswold’s mother portrays the romance as a nine year infatuation started during Stamford High School life. Smith calls the letters playful frolics not a marriage vow, while denying funding or serious intent.
