Hysteria Halts Tanzer Trial as Rae Tanzer Testifies
The Rae Tanzer perjury trial in federal court halted when Rae Tanzer grew hysterical during Mrs. Ethel Nye's testimony and had to be carried from the courtroom. Judge Wolverton ordered cross examination to continue, while defense attorney Benjamin Slade resisted citing his client's condition. Mrs. Nye testified about her May 1914 marriage to a man she believed to be Oliver Osborne and identified items connecting Osborne to her husband.
