Girl's Long Quest for Reluctant Man A Philadelphia business man has been chased half round the world, hip, train and aeroplane, by a -sick girl. Her attentions annoyed him se that he had to appeal tothe court for protection.
William Zinger first met Miss Beatrice Herbert, of Montreal, while on a Transpacific liner bound for the Far East last March. He says she pressed her attentions upon him so ardently that he had to change his seat at table, and also his state-room.
On arriving in Japan he gave her the slip, but she found him in Hongkong, and when he sailed for Hawaii she turned up in the ship as a stowaway.
At Honolulu the captain delivered her to the authorities, who sent her home.
Last September, however, she confronted Zinger in Philadelphia. Ho appealed to the police, who ar. rested her, and she was deported, with orders never to return to the United States.
But she disobeyed, once more hunting him up in Philadelphia, only to be again arrested, and deported again.
Asked how she managed to re. enter the United States, Miss Herbert replied: Easily enough. 1 came by aeroplane. It cost me 100 dollars, but it was well worth ten times that amount to be near my loved one."
Dr. John Egan, a police surgeon, testified that he had examined hor as to her sanity, and found that she was perfectly sane—"that is, if anybody deeply in love can be called sane," he added.
Mr. Zinger is 25 years old. His admirer is 29.
