BROOKLYN*. ’9op 23. County Judge J. Oral ten McMahon in Brooklyn heard yesterday a strange and moving tale of a young woman’s disillusionment in love, told hy the girl herself, though the tragedy that has come into her life has unhinged lu r mind and made it necessary to commit her to an institution for the insane.

Miss Vera. Anderson, 27. of Brooklyn, young pretty, highly educated, and an accomplished musician, was before Judge McMahon as the result of medical affidavits concerning her mental condition.

Tu dull, sombre tones the young woman tohl she had found herself falling in love with the husband of her dearest friend. Tho man loved her. she said, and the other women knew o’ their love. The man begged her to forget that lie was married and Hy with him, she said. Thou she realised what a grievous wrong she was doing her friend. She told the man their love must end. that she could not commit such a cruel sin against the woman she had known and loved for years.

“I tore all thought of my love from my mind,”- said Miss Anderson, “and left only a blank in its place. And I have been, oh, so. unhappy.”

apple of his eye. But his eye was on another woman all the time. “He said lie wanted money to start businesses, so we could have a home. I gave him £IOO, and lie s pent it paying alimony to bis wife.” This was the sad pliant of pretty Ida Goldberg, of Dorcester, in. court, charging Irving Solomon, of New York with larceny. Solomon, she testified, paid' ardent court to her in 1921. She was unaware that be was married. Solomon started in business. He bought an expensive racing car. But tbe business did not prosper. An investigation b.v Miss Goldberg, who was working with him, showed there was a. leakage of funds. “Then I found out about liis wife,” she said. “I discovered lie had paid alimony to bis first wife from that gift.” The first Mrs Solomon was in court to testify against her husband.
