MYRTLE M'CLURE DOESN'T LIKE SUIT

SAYS THAT IT WON'T FIT HER AND WANTS DAMAGES

Testifies That She Wore Suit Since Last August - Sues Tailor Schanz

Miss Myrtle McClure, daughter of Mrs. Mary McClure, of 502 E. Jefferson street was present in Justice Gibson's court Saturday with a number of her friends to testify against J. J. Schanz, the ladies' tailor of 340 S. State street, against whom she has brought suit for making a dress that didn't fit her. She was represented by Attorney C. F. Clyne, and a young attorney named Cox, of Detroit. Mr. Schanz was represented by Attorney W. W. Wedemeyer.

Examined by Mr. Clyne, Miss McClure testified that she paid $25 for the suit and that it did not fit. A dressmaker named Miss Louisa Trombley corrorobated Miss McClure's statements.

Attorney Wedemeyer brought forth the remarkable statement from Miss McClure that she had purchased the suit in August 1901, that she had worn it about once a week since and that she had not begun suit against Schanz until two months ago.

In questioning Miss Trombley Attorney Wedemeyer brought out the fact that she was present when the suit was sent to Miss McCIure's house by Schanz and that she then said it did not fit.

The dress was placed in evidence and the Detroit attorney had Miss Trombley go into a technical explanation of why it wouldn't fit, when Attorney Wedemeyer remarked:

"Did you ever see a dress that satisfied every woman who looked at it?"

This sally created considerable merriment. Seams, tucks, on the bias, gores and such like tailoring terms were something that Mr. Wedemeyer didn't care anything about, but Justice Gibson wanted to hear about them and the dress, and Miss Trombly went on with her "expert" testimony.

It developed during the hearing of the case that Mr. Schanz had made several alterations in the dress, but they were not to Miss McClure's liking, so she finally decided to have the matter settled in court.
