FORD GIVEN $S75
Jury Brings in Small Damages in Noted Alienation
 Suit.
OUT MORE THAN AN HOUR
Much Interest in the Decision-Plain- tiff Appears Pleased With
 Award.

A few minutes after 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon the jury in the alien ation suit of Julius Guy Ford for s5. 900 damages against Frank L. Smith. the North Haven milkman and farmer, filed into the superior court room where Judge Wheeler and a crowded room of spectators was awaiting them and announced through its foreman, John T. Bosham of Middlebury, a ver- dict of s375 damages for the plaintiff. The verdict was promptly accepted by the court. The announcement was at once met with considerable comment among those present It had not been the general expectation that Smith would get off so easily. He, too. seemed to be greatly pleased, for he left the court room with broad smile on his face. He was followed by a number of his male friends. Mrs. Ford the wife of the plaintiff, went out mol many yards behind them. With her were a half dozen or more women friends With the costs of the case added to the verdict there will be some material advance in the amount that the defendant, smith, will have to pay. There were many witnesses in the suit.
 Attorneys Ely and Webb have been conducting the case for Ford and Goodhart for the defendant.
 Wednesday afternoon the arguments in the case were started by MT. Webb for the plaintiff. Yesterday morning MT. Goodhart made a stirring appeal for the defendant which undoubtedly had it's effect, If the small size of the verdict is taken into consideration. He spoke of Ford as blackmailer who with the detective, Michael O'Connor, had conceived the idea of tho suit for 5000 damages.
 Mir. Goodhart said the conduct of Smith was that of an honest man and he elouuently defended the character of Mrs. Ford, although admitting in discretions. He alluded to the testi- mony of herself, her mother, Mrs, Elm ma ]. Shields, and several of the neighbors, reclting the cruelty Mrs. Ford had been subjected to by her husband. striving to show to the jury that there was little, If any affection existing between the couple.
 Attorney Ely summed up the case for the plaintiff shortly before court adjourned for the noon recess, which was taken at l2:45. At 1:3o Judge Wheeler gave his charge to the jury which was an excellent one. suggesting that the real question at state was the amount of damages to be allowed.
 The jury was locked up immediate ly. It was out one hour and twenty minutes.
