Fraud Is Alleged In Breach of Promise Suit Boeckling
Madeline G Boyle filed suit on a judgment for 36850 against George A Boeckling claiming she was induced to transfer it to Holtzman Leathers for 500 after Boeckling sought to revive the case. She alleges he visited her at J Dunning’s sanitarium while she expected to die and she signed the transfer under duress. Holtzman Leathers deny fraud and say the matter was settled for 150. Boeckling and Boyle had been married, later divorced, and Boyle says he pursued marriage again but she refused. The trial attracted much attention.
