ASKS $50,000 AS HEART BALM

Glenn Orr, wealthy Steilacoom resident, who was made defendant in a $50,000 breach of promise suit filed yesterday in the superior court by Ethel Wildron, is under a $1,000 cash bail today to answer a criminal information filed against him for alleged seduction.

The seduction charge was made by the same woman who brought the breach of promise suit.

Orr was arrested April 28.

The prosecuting attorney's office today said the nature of the case, according to the story told by Miss Wildron, was such that they did not wish to proceed unless it was absolutely necessary.

According to Miss Wildron's story, Orr has lived for several years with a sister at Steilacoom, where he has acquired considerable property.

It is said that the majority of the property has been deeded over to his sister during the last year.

Miss Wildron claims that Orr has had friendly relations with her for a period extending over six years. She claims that he said he was madly in love with her all the time and insisted he wanted to marry her.

She says he used his wiles, blandishments and physical force to place her in such a condition that she was unable to withstand his attentions and was about to become a mother.

Later, she claims, he promised he would take her to Denver, Col., where he promised again he would marry her. He placed her in the Cottage Home, a woman's hospital, where she was given medical attention which left her in such a condition that she doubts if she ever will recover.

While in such a condition, she alleges, he left her. She was forced to work at hard manual labor to earn enough to come to Tacoma. Since then Orr has steadfastly refused to have anything to do with her, she charges, and she claims that her relations with him have made all possibility of a marriage with any other man impossible.
