New York — State Attor-
ney General Robert Abrams
went to court Tuesday to
seek a civil hearing, charg-
ing that the Sotheby Parke
Bernet auction house was
engaged in "persistent
fraud and illegality" in its
recent sale of rare Hebrew
books and manuscripts.
In his suit, Abrams
sought to nullify the sale,
have the buyers reimbursed
and have the books re-
turned to an institution
where they would be made
available to the public.
