Vincent Harper seeks restraining order against Seattle police chief
Vincent Harper, author of The Terrible Truth About Marriage, seeks relief from the Seattle Chief of Police Wappenstein who has banned the pamphlet under arrest threats. Superior Albertson denied the restraining order after hearings by Judge Bell. A show cause date of January 18 at 9:30 a.m. was set for the defendant to contest the petition. The complaint, filed in the name of Henry A. Adams as plaintiff, claims the pamphlet is a clean sociological critique of marriage and modern society without obscene content.
