COURT IN DAKOTA REFUSES TO
GRANT NEW TRIAL TO JAMES
s. sANeoRN.
BREACH OF PROMISE GIRL
WAS ABLE TO MAKE MONEY
Son Of Forner Iowa Railroad Official
Must Pay Miss hay $4,000 for Fail
ure to Fulfill Marriage Agreement
Judgment Held Not Exeessive-other
Iowa News.

Sioux Falls, g. D.. April 4.-Judge
Charles A. Willard. In his opinion filed
in the federal court II this city denying
a motion of the defendant for a new
trial in the case of Ella r. Bay, Of
Menominee, Mich. VS.. James s..
Sanborn, "a wealthy banker and stock
raiser Of Pukwana, S. D., and former
Iowa railroad man, calls attention to
the fact that it is doubtful! if a similar
case ever occurred before where a
woman by reason of an engagement
being broken, had actually suffered a
pecuniary loss Of more than $4,000.
Miss Bay was awarded judgment of
$4,000 for breach of promise.
The application for a new trial was
based on the grounds of newly discoy-
cred evidence, in sufficiency of the evil
dence to show promise of marriage,
and errors in law in the trial in the
federal court in this city last fall. Many
letters which passed between Miss Bay
and Sanborn during the time Miss
Bay says they were engaged to be mar
ried figured in the trial. These let
ters," says Judge Willard entirely
confirm the statement made by the
plaintiff that after she left the Kirby
Carpenter Company she ceased to work
at the request of the defendant. relying
upon the engagement between them"
The enga cement was broken in Feb
ruary, 1910, and the evidence showed
that after leaving the employ of the
Kirby Carpenter Company Miss Bay
worked all the time for the defendant
until the enga cement was broken. The
decision OF Judge Willard further says:
1.-The defendant himself in his letters
apparently valued her services at $4,000
a year, and as has been said he thought
she was entitled to $4,000 for what
she did in connection with her aunt's
estate"
The defendant in his motion for a
new trial also raised the question OF the
judgment against him being excessive.
In discussing this Judge Willard says:
The difference between her pecuniary
loss. over Sic, O00.f and the amount of
the verdict, $4,000, is not. in my, judg-
ment so excessive as to justify the
court with interfering with the admit
ted province Of the jury in such case.
The motion for q new trial Is accord
ingly denied"
