COURT SCORES ACTRESS.
Jury Claimed That the Case Was an
OUTRAGE

New York, April 1S.-The jury / nthe
breach of promise suit brought by Olga
Landsdorff. an actress, against Franklin
NJ. Olds, retired lawyer of Newark. be
fore Judge Wallace in the United States
circuit cohrt, brought in a verdict for the
defendant.
Upon permission of Judge Wallace one
of the jurymen then stated that the jury
had been 'humbugged and outraged to
be forced to listen to a case of this char
acter for several days" The juryman
asked that efforts he made that such
cases be prevented from being taken to
the courts for trial.
Judge Wallace, in his charge to the
jury, said that 1t was a matter of con-
graduation to the bench at large that
breach of promise suits seldom are press
ed for trial He said that most were for
purposes of bIackmail brought by some
unscrupulous woman, sometimes against
more unscrupulous men. There were
cases, he said, however where the de-
PENDANTS had triffed with the love and
affection of the plaintiffs.
The jury was out but fifteen minutes.
and brought in verdict for the defend
ant.
One of the jurymen then rose anr asked:
Your Honor. is it fitting that we add
something to the verdict"
Yes" replied the court
I'VE think that something should be
done to prevent the trying of suits Of
this kind. The court and the jury have
been humbugged and outraged by being
forced TO sit and listen to such a case as
this. and our time has been wasted. Some
thing should be done to deter such cases -
