GRAY MUST PAY
Miss Mokinzie, Hampton School
Teacher, Wins Suit in Supreme
court-Award Of 5000 is Sustained.

Court-AWard OF 8,OOO is Sustained.
Des Moines, March 17.-Winifred
Mckenzie, the Hampton School marin,
is to get her $12 per week for 13
years of love bestowed on the aged
Lochinvar, j. B. Gray. 'worth 10000"
This award of the lower court was to-
day upheld by the supreme court in
a decision written by Justice Sher-
win
For all the kisses and cslresses be-
slowed by the gray-haired lover of the
pretty teacher, she is to have the sum
of $4,000.
For these paternal caresses and the
promise to marry, which ended with
Gray's elopement in 1906 with Miss
Marie Leveke, Gray must pay. So
says the supreme court.
When Gray's elopement was told in
the newspapers the Hampton school
teacher fished out the love letters of
her lover and with the aid Of a lawyer,
laid bare her bleeding heart to the gaze
of twelve jurors, and they, like gallant
chevaliers, thought that the caresses OF
Mr.. Gray or the broken heart of the
maiden was worth about 9 per cent of
Gray's possessions.
Gray admitted that he paid some at
tention to Miss McKinzie while he was
in the lumber business at Hampton
and that he called upon her in Min
neapolis. From 1893 until 1906, when
Gray eloped with his present wife, his
sweetheart said he had
made love to her and was engaged to
marry her. When the soft. warm
words of the mans love letters trick
led into the consciousness Of the jurors
and the hot glow of an occasional
of rupturous delight sizzled
and famed before their hearts eyes,
pity crept into their hearts for the
maid who waited thirteen years for the
lover to buy his lass a white veil; and
they awarded Miss McKinHie the de-
cision.
When the case came to trial Gray
was go, and Miss McKinzie was 40. She
was still flashing-eyed and piquant
and she looked rather as If she had
and thrived on the bread
and cheese and kisses of the courtship.
GRAY was gray, and the fact that he
had eloped with his young wife added
to his reputation as heart-breaker
and the jury never flincheel.
MISS McKinzie's $4,000 figures out as
s12 a week for the thirteen years she
has held up her lips for the. gallant old
gentleman to caress with his own.
