COS Broadway, Sept. %.
The trial of the sensational breach OF
promise suit brought by Jane Hodge,
aged 80 years, against John Ntcholl, the
aged capitalist, familiarly known as the
Duke of Richmond for $4,000 damages,
was terminated in Judge Ogden's court
to-day.
AS soon as court convened this morning
Attorneys Mhoon and Mckee. on behalf
of the defense announced that they would
submit the case without argument. As
a result Colonel W. W. Foote of counsel
of the plaintiff did not have an oppor-
tunity of delivering the eagerly hoped for
closing argument. Attorney Nusbaumer
therefore had the distinction Of posing as
the prime and sole debater, whose elo-
Quent words before the jury yesterday
appear to have carried great weight and
left forceful impression upon the minds
of the twelve men in whose hands the
fate of the aged capitalist rested.
Not a great amount OF time was con-
sumed by Judge Ogden in giving his in
structions to the jury. In his charge
Judge Ogden included the instruction that
plaintiff must prove by preponderance
of evidence that the promise OF marriage
was absolute and free from all conditions
and contingencies, and that if the jury
found plaintiff had released him and he
had accepted the release then the verdict
must be for the defendant. II on the
other hand the jury found that plaintiff
had established her case they might look
beyond the contract itself for the meas
ure of damages, TO consider the mental
suffering. wounded feelings, modification
and pain Of plaintiff and also take into
consideration defendants S financial condl-
ton and general reputation for wealth.
IL the Jury found that defendant is in
curably incompetent and so informed
plaintiff then she cannot recover dam
ages.
submitted TO the jury. At 1880 o clock
this afternoon a verdict had been agreed
upon, but Judge Ogden had in the mean
other business and did not return until
nearly $50 o'clock, when the jury came
in, Foreman label announced the YER
dict as given above.
Al the request of Major Mhoon of coun-
sci for the defense the jury was polIed'
but the verdict proved to be unanimous.
BY consent a stay of execution and pro-
ceedings was granted for thirty days.
After adjournment il was learned that
the jury had ballotted at least fourteen
times and that the damages favored by
some of the jurors ranged from $40 coo
upward, a few being satisfied that MISS
Hodge was entitled TO the full amount or
$50 O60 for which she sued defendant, who
is her uncle by affinity.
Further than this none OF the Jurors
would discuss matters pertaining TO their
deliberations as they passed out.
The damage assessed Is just one-haIr

about $500 coo, which is now Incorporated
