The New York World Slips Up Badly
on an EIOpement story.


on an EIOpement story.
New York, June 4.-One of the largest
verdicts ever rendered against a news
paper in a libel suit in this country was
that found to-day in the supreme court
by jury before Judge Ingraham against
the Press Publishing Company CWorld)
for $25,OOO damages. The action was
brought by William l.. Paine to recover
$4,000 damages. Mr.. Paine is a lawyer.
and for about twenty years prior to the
time that he came to this city, he had re-
sided in Wilkesbarre, Pa, where he prac-
ticed his profession. The World pub
lished from it's correspondent at Wilkes
barre a story to the effect that Mr. Paine
had eloped from that city with the wife
of a friend, Mrs. Maggie Lee, and had
come to this city and married her, and af-
ter squandering her money had deserted
her. 1t seemed that but little effort had
been made to get at the truth of the
facts, although Mr.. Paine was living
with the woman in this city at the time
of the publication of the story in 1892
The fact was that Paine was married
to Mrs. Lee. There was no elopement
whatever. She obtained a divorce from
her husband about four months prior to
the time of her marriage to Mr.. Paine.
They came to this city and took up their
residence here and have been living here
peacably ever since They had four
children, two by this marriage, and two
being Mrs. Paine's children by her former
marriage Paine and his wife both tes-
tilted to these facts. 1t took the jury but
a few minutes to give Lawyer Paine the
Vyer
