(United Press Leased Wire.)
TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 25. - Miss Beatrice Forsythe, an actress, didn't mind it a bit when she was asked to show the evidence to the jury in her damage suit against the borough of Deal. She just lifted her skirts above her knees and showed the twelve tried and true the difference between her two knees.
The jury took a good look and then told her she could cover 'em up if she would give assurance that the evidence might be inspected at any time.
Miss Forsythe alleges she injured one of her knees while swimming at Deal and now they don't match. This hurts her in her chosen profession, she alleges.
