Suing For False Arrest

Mrs. Mary B. Houser of Great Neck has begun suit against Frederick Klinker for $1,000 damages for false arrest and malicious prosecution. The offense for which Mrs. Houser wants satisfaction took place in May of last year, when she was taken before Justice Morrell of Manhasset on complaint of Klinker, charged with malicious mischief in having destroyed the plaintiff's seed cabbage and sprinkled paris green over the grass in his grazing grounds. The justice discharged the woman.
