Frieda Hempel, the singer, denies any grounds for a lawsuit from her sister Mrs. Helese Schaper over a platinum and diamond cross valued at $10,000. Schaper obtained a court order to show cause why the jewelry should not be enjoined pending trial, alleging pawn tickets were given in 1926 and the cross was redeemed and resold with stones swapped.
