Foreman Shaw Gave Tip To Husband In Noted New York Case
New Haven December 14. John J. Shaw foreman for the Postal Telegraph Company testified in Judge Burpee's Superior court session about confessing to Frederick D. Root that he had improper relations with Root's wife. The divorce suit followed with Shaw replaying details of gifts including rings, dresses and a fur coat. Root denied improper relations. Mrs Root defended Shaw as a family friend. The case featured Shaw testifying for the plaintiff while Root's wife also testified for the plaintiff, and the defense contended the evidence of a paramour should be viewed with suspicion.
