Providence, RI - Feds search local home for Nazi-looted painting

Providence, RI - Federal agents are investigating whether a Rhode Island woman broke the law after importing a painting taken from a Jewish art dealer and auctioned by the Nazis.

Maria-Luise Bissonnette said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents searched her Providence apartment last week. She said the agents were investigating whether she transferred an illegally imported painting, an allegation she denies.

An ICE spokesman confirmed the search but wouldn't commentfurther.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling last year forcing Bissonnette to surrender a painting to the estate of late Jewish art dealer Max Stern. In 1937, Germany's Nazi government forcibly auctioned off Stern's paintings, including one purchased by Bissonnette's stepfather. His stepdaughter inherited it.

TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands (AP) - A jury in the British Virgin Islands has found a Rhode Island man guilty of murder after his wife drowned during a 1999 scuba-diving trip.

A judge expects to soon sentence David Swain. He would be sent to a Tortola prison where he has been held for about two years.

Prosecutors had accused Swain of killing his wife to pursue another woman. Experts had testified that they believe he attacked his wife from behind, tore off her mask and shut off her air supply.

The defense had said a poorly done autopsy report could not rule out medical reasons for Shelley Tyre's death, such as a heart attack during what they say was an accidental drowning.

Jurors announced the verdict Tuesday after a four-hour deliberation.

Location Change Of Wedding….3 Hours Before!

October 15, 2009

4:00PM EST: YWN has just been contacted by a frantic family scheduled to make a wedding tonight (Thursday) in Ateres Shlomo Hall in Boro Park.

Their request was a strange one. Can YWN please notify as many people as possible about a location change for their Simcha - just three hours before their wedding!

The family was contacted by the hall at approximately 1:00PM Thursday, just hours before their scheduled Chupa, and advised that they are unable to make the wedding in the hall tonight. Although YWN has been unable to confirm exactly why the hall is unable to make a wedding tonight, but sources tell YWN that the Ateres Shlomo Hall (located at 7724 New Utrecht Ave) has been temporarily closed by the FDNY, which prompted them to contact the family.

Arrangements have just been made for the Chasunah to take place in the Ateres Chaya Hall (located at 1415 54th St) in Boro Park.

This is the wedding of Chani Kops to Shmuli Tevovitz
Kabolas Ponim 6:30PM
Chupa 7:30PM

Mazel Tov!
