Verdict of S2750 Awarded Wallace In Sui
Against Lady Cook.

London, June 13-The appeal court to-
day granted the application OF Lady Cook
formerly Miss Tennessee Clafiin OF New
York;, for a retrial of the action brought
against her March 3 last by j. III. Wal
lace, her former private secretary, who
was granted a verdict OF 2,75O, on the
plea OF libel.
Lady Cooks counsel said Wallace had
alleged that she had extorted check
for $4,000 from her late husband on the
threat that she would expose liason
and counsel also said. Wallace alleged
that Sir Francis Cooks death (Which oc-
Cured Feb IL. 1e0l). was due TO a blow
struck by Lady Cook in their home.
Counsel asserted that these statements
which were not brought up at the first
trial. were made by Wallace solely with
the view OF terrorizing Lady Cook.
The master OF the rolls characterized
the Wallace suit as blackmailing ac-
ton and said the verdict could not be
allowed to stand.

JUROR OBJECTED.
Claimed Verdict Was Rendered Eefore Ger
tain Questions Had Been Asked.

A very unusual incident took place in
Judge Tflllnghasts court today. on the
return of a sealed verdict by the jury
In the case OF John G. McHugh VS.. John
II. Branaghan. When the clerk OF the
court read the verdict awarding the plain
tiff $685. one OF the Jurors arose and stat
ed that he objected TO the verdict. as II
was reached before the jury had asked
certain instructions from the court.
Ii seems the members OF the jury got
into trouble over a release offered In evil
dence and sought the advice of the court:
This was after the verdict was reached.
One OF the Jurors told the court that
the objecting juror agreed fair and
square TO the verdict and went home and
changed his mind" The objector insist
ed on his objection and the court had a
difficult proposition TO settle.
James A. Williams counsel for the
plaintiff did not care to insist on the ver-
diet being recorded. as II was returned
under seal, so disagreement was en-

SERVIA QUIET.
Continued from page One.
SULTAN WAS OVERCOME.

Constantinople. June 13.-The terrible
drama at eBlgrade cause stupefaction
at the''Y 'Yiidiz palace. The Sultan was so
affected that he was unable to listen to
the details published in the newspapers
and only allowed those who conversed
with him 10 speak Of the death" OF
the King and Queen of Servia, and would
not permit them 10 mention the word 'as-
sassination."
II is announced here that King Charles
Of Roumania, who was honorary colonel
OF the Sixth Regiment OF Servian Infan-
try which perpetrated the massacres at
Belgrade. has severed his connection with
the regiment. which, he considers. has
given such horrible proof of lack OF mill
tary honor"
ATTITUDE OF THE POWERS.
st; Petersburg. June BIN official
circles here II is stated that none
OF the powers is inclined to raise
difficulties in recognizing the sovereign,
the Servian parliament elects, whose ac-
cession Ia calculated to end a dangerous
condition.( which might lead to anarchy.
An official note. giving the views of the
government, follows:
The tragic events at Belgrade have oc-
casioned profound emotion In Russia. All
the blood that has been shed can only
awaken In Russia a feeling OF compass
sion. which In the present instance is in
creased by the fact that the king and
queen OF friendly state have fallen vic
Tins OF a violent death, and that the OBJ
renovitch dynasty, so closely bound up in
the history OF Servia. Is now extinct
The most fervent hope prevails In
Russia that Servia, after this fearful
crisis, may be eble 10 pursue peacefully
the course OF her national life In the di-
rection which the patriotism OF the Ser
Wan people and proper conception or
their supreme interests will indicate
