PRESIDENTIAL BIRTHDAY SUMMONS DON'T SAVE DOHERTY
That even a President's birthday can't stop the process servers was demonstrated as Henry L. Doherty was served with papers in three suits by a Deputy Marshal just before he stepped to a microphone to introduce President Roosevelt to his nation¬ wide radio audience.
Doherty, National Chairman of the President's birthday party celebration, was named defendant in suits filed last July in District Supreme Court. A Deputy Marshal, who had been unable to secure service earlier, served the papers on Doherty in the Shorehara Hotel, Washington, shortly before he descended to the ball room for the celebration.
The suits, aggregating about $18,000 were filed in behalf of the local manager and employees of Doherty’s Cities Service Securities Company.
Also Doherty encountered legal difficulties in New York. After his attorneys had argued for another adjournment of trial on the ground that their client was suffering from arthritis in Florida, counsel for the plaintiff presented an affidavit purport¬ ing to show that Mr. Doherty had broadcast an appeal in behalf of President Roosevelt's birthday observance over a New York radio station the Sunday before the birthday.
The action was brought by Kenyon B. Conger, of Irvington on-Hudson for $138,750 alleged to be due him for services in con¬ nection with the management of Mr. Doherty's Manhattan real estate Mr. Conger said he was listening to a broadcast over Station WABC when he heard Mr. Doherty. He telephoned the radio station and complimented the officials on the clear reproduction of the Chairman’s voice, whereupon the officials informed him that he had been listening to Mr. Doherty broadcasting from New York.
In his plea in behalf of the adjournment, Watson B. Robinson, attorney for Mr. Doherty, stated in affidavits that his client had suffered seriously from arthritis and that "it would be a detriment to the public" if Mr. Doherty had to abandon his work in Florida in connection with the President's birthday party to go to New York to testify.
