Seeks To Dismiss Suit On Governor Attorney Objects To Suit Dismissal Culliman. All. June 17 — (UP)— A red-haired divorcee today asked dismissal of her paternity suit against Gov. James E. Folsom because she said she "has keen and is being used as a political tool and weapon — to fight” the newly-mar-ried governor. Mrs. ( hris'ine Putnam Johnston ami her two-year-old son petitioned circuit court here for dismissal of both suits. In one Mrs. Johnston sought to establish herself as Fol-' som's common-law wife, in the second. ht? two-year-old son asked the court to name Folsom as his father.' Mrs. Johnston's attorney. Kingman Shelburne, countered with objections to dismissal of the boy's suit. The petition for the boy was filed by his uncle. Carter Putnam. | Judge James H. Crow. Jr., set July| 1 as the date for hearing the objections. Kenneth Griffith. Cullman attorney for Folsom, said he believed dismissal of the two suits would be a "routine formality" by the court. In her petition, the pretty 30-year-old divorcee said: 'Since filing this suit your petitioner has come to teailze that she has been and is being used as a political t<xd and weapon with which to fight James E. Folsom, not individually but as the governor 1 of the state of Alabama and this • was never her purpose or Intention ' in filing this lawsuit."
