An affiliation case, in which the plaintiff, Miss Coletta Hill, of Clive-court, Maida Vale, alleged that she was tricked into entering. the rooms of the defendant, said to be a wealthy American, Mr. Carl Rudolph Selye, in a Piccadilly hotel, and there locked in and as- Baulted, was opened at Marylebone Police Court, and adjourned.
Opening the case on behalf of Miss Hill, Mr. Valetta, barrister, stated that an action for damages for alleged seduction was pending in the High Court.
Miss' Hill said that she was now 20 years of age and was living with her mother by adoption. In June, 1929, she attended a trade. film show at the Regal Cinema, and was introduced to Mr. Selye by a Miss Ruth Dainty. She went out with him to restaurante, cinemas,, and so one occasion, in August, she returned from a cinema to his rooms.
