'Abbey Road' suit figures in court fight

NEW YORK, March 19 (UPI) -- An auction house must turn over $21,463 from the sale of the suit John Lennon wore on the "Abbey Road" cover to the seller's New York landlord.

Biond Fury, a psychic, sold the white suit through Braswell Galleries of Norwalk, Conn., for $46,000, having paid $140,000 for it in 2008.

But a Manhattan judge has told Braswell to pay $21,000, plus interest, to Mark Arrow, Fury's former Manhattan landlord, The New York Daily News reported. Andrew is trying to collect on a judgment issued after Fury stopped paying rent in July 2009.

"Now he's the one screaming, 'Help, I need somebody," said Adam Bailey, the landlord's lawyer.

Fury asked Braswell to conduct the auction anonymously. Arrow's lawyers tried to stop it and served a restraining order on owner Kathy Braswell in December.

Fury has previously owned Marilyn Monroe and Beatles memorabilia and paid more than $1 million for a North Carolina mansion where a notorious 2001 murder took place.
