Lawyer Sues Bobo Calls Rockefeller a Philanderer
Boston attorney Joseph Sax sues Barbara Bobo Rockefeller and ex-husband Winthrop Rockefeller in State Supreme Court for 100000 dollars claiming he provided legal services during their stormy marriage and alleging promises of up to 500000. He accuses Rockefeller of adultery and excessive drinking. Bobo denies the charges and says Sax failed to secure a reconciliation in 1952 and was paid the full agreed fee then retained. Rockefeller says he knows nothing of the suit.
