"Pigs" Myth, Wife Sues

"Countess" Sacky Seeks to Get $32,100 Back From Husband.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 -- "Pigs isn't pigs" when thousands of dollars given to a husband for investment in the hog business is diverted to other purposes, according to "Countess" Lillian Suares Sacky, who told her troubles to Justice Ford in the Supreme court the other day. "Count" Aribert Sacky, supposed to have been a captain in the Russian army, is the defendant in her suit to recover $32,100.

Mrs. Sacky testified that before her marriage in 1916 she gave money to the court, the total reaching $100,000. It was alleged a large portion of this sum was for investment in pigs, but the pigs failed to materialize. The count, taken from Ludlow street jail for the purpose, testified that his wife said: "Everything I have is yours. I want you to invest it for me and use your own judgment about it."
